April 3, 2025 updated by: Hatice Uzşen, Ondokuz Mayıs University

The Effect of Providing Pregnant Women Training on Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) on the Post-Partum Risky Behaviors: Randomized Controlled Trial

Sudden infant death syndrome, which constitutes a significant proportion of all infant deaths, is associated with various preventable risk factors. The study aims examine effects of training provided to pregnant women about risk factors triggering sudden infant death syndrome before birth on the post-partum knowledge level and behaviors of mothers.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Sudden infant death syndrome, which constitutes a significant proportion of all infant deaths, is associated with various preventable risk factors. To examine effects of training provided to pregnant women about risk factors triggering sudden infant death syndrome before birth on the post-partum knowledge level and behaviors of mothers. Pre-test post-test designed, randomized controlled, experimental study was conducted in Turkey, 2024. Sixty pregnant women were employed in intervention and control groups. Face-to-face training on risk factors triggering sudden infant death syndrome was provided to pregnant women in intervention group. Study data were collected using "Personal Information Form, Knowledge Level on Sudden Infant Death Syndrome and Risky Behavior Identification Questionnaire". Data were collected face to face before training and after training and via telephone 2 months after training.

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

  • Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

  • Pregnant women who were in the 38th week of their pregnancy and older,
  • Lived a healthy pregnancy,
  • Had no communication problems,
  • Can speak and understand Turkish,
  • Agreed to participate in the study were included.

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: Intervention Group
Pregnant women in their 38th week of pregnancy and later, who visited the hospital to have their NST scans, were then invited to the training with the Risk Factors Triggering Sudden Infant Death Syndrome Training Booklet
Behavioral: Training with Sudden Infant Death Syndrome Training Booklet
Sudden Infant Death Syndrome Training Booklet was prepared. Prgenant women who agreed to participate were provided a face-to-face training on the risk factors triggering sudden infant death syndrome through the booklet. Following the educational session, they received the safe sleep handout to use at home and were informed that the researcher would call them two months later to check on their adherence to safe sleep practices. Following the training, participants were re-administered the Knowledge Level on Sudden Infant Death Syndrome and Risky Behavior Identification Questionnaire and the training booklet was given to them as a gift. Two months after the training, the pregnant women were contacted via phone and they were required to fill out the Knowledge Level on Sudden Infant Death Syndrome and Risky Behavior Identification Questionnaire once again.
No Intervention: Control Group
Pregnant women in this group were not provided a specific training on the risk factors triggering sudden infant death syndrome. The clinic has already offered a pregnancy school where routine prenatal care training is provided.

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
Knowledge Level on Sudden Infant Death Syndrome and Risky Behavior Identification Questionnaire
Time Frame: 20 minutes before training, just after training and 2 month later
Questionnaire, developed by authors consists of 2 sections. First section aims to determine knowledge level of pregnant women about sudden infant death syndrome. Questionnaire consisting of 17 questions are answered as true, false, or I do not know. Items answered as "True" are scored 1 point, whereas items answered as "False" or "I don't know" are scored as 0. Questionnaire includes reverse coded items. The lowest possible score in the questionnaire is 0 and the highest possible score is 17. The second section consists of questions aiming to determine the risky behaviors of pregnant women that may cause sudden infant death syndrome. A total of 26 questions in this section are answered as never (1 point), rarely (2 points), sometimes (3 points), often (4 points) and always (5 points). The questionnaire includes reverse coded items; the lowest and the highest possible scores in the questionnaire are 26 and 130, respectively.
