An interventional study of Education in Infant Death, Infant Care and Midwifery, sponsored by Cukurova University. Not yet recruiting at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Open to female participants, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-01-20.
Sponsored by Cukurova University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Prevention
This project is a pioneering study in determining the impact of midwife-led safe infant care training for pregnant women on awareness of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) and home accidents. Raising awareness and improving women's knowledge about SIDS and home accidents is expected to help reduce preventable infant deaths. If the effectiveness of this training is proven, integrating it into prenatal care programs would be a significant step towards improving maternal and child health.
This research is designed as a randomized controlled experimental study. The research will be conducted in the NST unit located in the Marsa Obstetrics and Gynecology Annex Building of Seyhan State Hospital between the specified dates. It has been determined that 60 participants should be included in the intervention group and 60 in the control group. Primiparous pregnant women ≥32 weeks of gestation will be included in the study. The study will be conducted in two interviews. The pre-test will be administered at the first meeting with the pregnant woman, and the post-test will be administered in the second week postpartum. The independent variables of the study are safe infant care education, and the demographic and obstetric characteristics of the pregnant women. The dependent variables are awareness of sudden infant death syndrome and scores on the home accident awareness scale for mothers. After normality tests are performed, univariate and multivariate analyses appropriate to the data set will be performed, and a significance level of p\<0.05 will be considered. The Statistical Programme for Social Science 22 (SPSS) will be used for data analysis.
Exclusion Criteria:
Following the pre-test, the intervention group will receive training on safe infant care. A final test will be administered via telephone in the second week postpartum.
Other: Education
Standard care (Turkish Ministry of Health Prenatal Care Guide) will be applied during the follow-up care after the pre-test. A final test will be administered via telephone in the second week postpartum.
The educational content consists of general information about sudden infant death syndrome and home accidents in children aged 0-3, as well as prevention methods.
Home Accident Awareness Scale for Mothers
Items are scored on a scale of 1-5. As the scale score increases, mothers' awareness of household accidents will increase.
Time frame: pre-intervention, immediately after the intervention, after 2 week
Sudden Infant Death Syndrome Awareness Scale - Mother Form
Items are scored on a scale of 1 to 5. As the score obtained from the scale increases, the awareness score decreases.
Time frame: pre-intervention, immediately after the intervention, after 2 week
