Approximately 3600 infants die suddenly and unexpectedly annually in the United States. Research suggests limitations of current behavioral interventions to reduce the risk for sleep-related deaths among African American families living in under-resourced neighborhoods. Guided by the theory of planned behavior and the socio-ecological model, the My Baby's Sleep (MBS) intervention intends to reduce the risk for sleep-related infant deaths while addressing complex needs of African American families living in under-resourced neighborhoods.
To assess feasibility and acceptability of MBS, a 7-month intervention that includes four home visits and multiple check-ins via phone and text message.
This was a single-arm feasibility and acceptability study with quantitative and qualitive measures. African American families were recruited from community agencies that served an under-resourced metropolitan area.
Eight families (eight mothers, nine co-caregivers) completed the intervention. Families reported high acceptability of MBS content, process, and format, as evidenced by qualitative data and mean evaluation scores.
MBS is feasible and acceptable among African American families living in under-resourced neighborhoods. These results suggest further investigation of MBS intervention efficacy in a large-scale randomized controlled trial.
在美国，每年约有3600名婴儿突然意外死亡。研究表明，当前的行为干预措施在降低生活在资源匮乏社区的非裔美国家庭中与睡眠相关死亡风险方面存在局限性。以计划行为理论和社会生态模型为指导，“我的宝宝睡眠”（MBS）干预旨在降低与睡眠相关的婴儿死亡风险，同时满足生活在资源匮乏社区的非裔美国家庭的复杂需求。
评估MBS的可行性和可接受性，这是一项为期7个月的干预措施，包括四次家访以及通过电话和短信进行的多次跟进。
这是一项采用定量和定性测量方法的单组可行性和可接受性研究。非裔美国家庭从服务于资源匮乏大都市地区的社区机构招募。
八个家庭（八位母亲，九位共同照顾者）完成了干预。定性数据和平均评估分数表明，家庭对MBS的内容、过程和形式具有较高的接受度。
MBS在生活在资源匮乏社区的非裔美国家庭中是可行且可接受的。这些结果表明，需要在大规模随机对照试验中进一步研究MBS干预的效果。
