The Effect of a Shaken Baby Syndrome Prevention Program on Turkish Mothers' Awareness and Knowledge: A Randomized Controlled Study

Objective: This randomized controlled study aims to examine whether the education program prepared to prevent shaken baby syndrome has an effect on mothers' knowledge and attitudes.

Method: Simple randomization will be used to evaluate the intervention and control groups. The study will be carried out with 90 mothers babies of 2-4 months, who applied to Akdeniz University Hospital Healthy Child Outpatient Clinic (intervention group: 45, control group: 45). After the pre-test, the mothers in the intervention group will be trained and a booklet will be given. Tele-consultancy service will be provided to mothers during the 2-month follow-up period. After 2 months of follow-up, a post-test will be applied to the mothers in the intervention group. The mothers in the control group will not be intervened after the pretest is applied. A post test will be applied 2 months after the pre-test. After the post-test, the mothers in the control group will be trained and a booklet will be given. Ethics committee approval and institutional permission were obtained for the study. Verbal and written consent will be obtained from the mothers during the data collection phase.

Detailed Description

Method: The study will be conducted with 90 mothers with 2-4 months old babies who applied to Akdeniz University Hospital Healthy Children Polyclinic (intervention group: 45, control group: 45). Personal Information Form, Shaken baby syndrome assessment survey will be used to collect data. Simple randomization will be used to evaluate the intervention and control groups. In order to identify mothers in intervention groups, sealed-envelope randomization method will used. Mothers and statistician group will be unaware of the evaluation. The researcher will not be blind because of the role he plays in the research.

Following the pretest, the intervention group will be trained to prevent shaken baby syndrome. Expert opinion was obtained from 10 expert faculty members for the content of the training. After the training, the booklet prepared in line with expert opinions will be given to the mother in the intervention group. The booklet will remain with the mother. Tele-consultancy will be given to the mother for 2 months after the pre-test. The control group will also be tested beforehand and will not be intervened afterwards. 2 months after the pre-test, a post-test will be applied to the control group and training will be given to prevent shaken baby syndrome. A training booklet will be given to the mothers in the control group after the final test.

Statistical analysis will be done using SPSS 23.0 and statistical significance will be set at p <0.05.

Support will be received in the analysis phase of the Statistical Information Unit of Akdeniz University.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

2 months to 4 months (CHILD)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion criteria:

Having a baby of 2-4 months, Free from physical or mental disability

Exclusion Criteria:

Unhealthy (mother or baby), Any SBS education in the last 2 years

How is the study designed?

Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: PREVENTION
  • Allocation: RANDOMIZED
  • Interventional Model: PARALLEL
  • Masking: SINGLE

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
EXPERIMENTAL: İntervention group

Randomization with a sealed envelope will be applied to mothers who have 2-4 months old babies who apply to Akdeniz University Hospital Pediatric Outpatient Clinic for health control and who accept the study. A pre-test application will be made in the intervention group. The Researcher will fill in the Personal Information Form and the Shaken baby syndrome assessment survey at this stage.

The training prepared to prevent shaken baby syndrome, which was prepared immediately after the end of the pre-test application, will be given to the mothers in the intervention group. The training will be given with mothers using one-to-one face-to-face interview method. Necessary equipment will be provided for training. At the end of the training, the questions of the mothers will be answered and a booklet prepared to prevent shaken baby syndrome will be given and tele-consultancy will be provided for 2 months.
Other: Training program

A training program and booklet content for the education to be given to mothers includes the following topics.

  • What is shaken baby syndrome and what is its cause?
  • What are the harms caused by shaken baby syndrome?
  • How is shaken baby syndrome understood?
  • What problems can shaken baby syndrome cause?
  • What are the measures to be taken? For the training and the content of the booklet, expert opinion was obtained from 10 academic members who are experts in the field of Child Health. An evaluation form was created for pre-test and post-test measurements. Expert opinions were also received for these forms.

Mothers of 2-4 months old babies who applied to Akdeniz University Hospital Pediatric Outpatient Clinic for check-up were randomized with a sealed envelope and accepted the study. In this way, intervention and control groups can be determined. After the pre-test is done in the intervention group, 2-month training, booklet and tele-consultancy services will be provided.
NO_INTERVENTION: Control group
No application will be made to the mothers in the control group after the pre-test application. After 2 months, the final test application will be made. After the last test, the mothers in the control group will be given a training and a booklet prepared to prevent shaken baby syndrome.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Shaken baby syndrome knowledge level
Time Frame: 2-4 months
The increase in the mother's level of knowledge about shaken baby syndrome is the outcome measure.This increase will be measured with "Shaken baby syndrome assessment survey". This form was developed by researchers. After the forms were developed, expert opinions were received from 10 academic members who are experts in the field of child health. It will be evaluated whether there is a statistically significant increase in the post-test data. Statistical analysis will be done using SPSS 23.0 and statistical significance will be set at p <0.05. Support will be received in the analysis phase of the Statistical Information Unit of Akdeniz University.
