It is well reported that one of the main precipitants of abusive head trauma (AHT) is frequent and consistent periods of crying. The cornerstones in the management of excessive infant crying are reassurance and education. Our study showed a knowledge deficit in frontline healthcare workers (HCW) understanding of normal infant crying. We received 122 survey responses. 40% of respondents did not feel that 'walking away and leaving a baby for a limited time in a safe space' was a valid method of soothing. This highlights the need for better HCW education on normal infant crying to help prevent AHT.
有充分报道称，虐待性头部创伤（AHT）的主要诱因之一是频繁且持续的哭闹期。处理婴儿过度哭闹的基石是安抚和教育。我们的研究表明，一线医护人员（HCW）对正常婴儿哭闹的理解存在知识欠缺。我们收到了122份调查回复。40%的受访者不认为“走开并在安全空间让婴儿待一段有限的时间”是一种有效的安抚方法。这凸显了对医护人员进行更好的关于正常婴儿哭闹的教育以帮助预防虐待性头部创伤的必要性。
