This study determined whether knowledge of sleeping in the prone position as a risk factor for sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) influences caregivers' positioning of their infants for play and sleep.
One hundred caregivers attending Adelaide metropolitan Child Adolescent and Family Health Services (CAFHS) were surveyed by self-administered questionnaire.
Ninety-three per cent of parents reported that their knowledge of SIDS influenced infant positioning for sleep and 84% reported they never put their infant in the prone position for sleep. Thirty-seven per cent reported that SIDS knowledge did influence play positioning and 26% reported never placing their infant prone for play. There was a significant association (P = 0.002) between the influence of SIDS knowledge on play positioning and avoidance of the prone position for play.
Community educators may need to clarify that prone positioning for play is not a risk factor for SIDS and that it is desirable for infants to spend supervised wakeful time in the prone position.
本研究旨在确定将俯卧睡眠作为婴儿猝死综合征（SIDS）的一个风险因素的相关知识是否会影响照顾者让婴儿玩耍和睡眠时的姿势。
通过自填问卷对100名前往阿德莱德市儿童青少年及家庭健康服务中心（CAFHS）的照顾者进行了调查。
93%的家长表示他们对SIDS的了解影响了婴儿睡眠时的姿势，84%的家长表示他们从不将婴儿俯卧睡眠。37%的家长表示对SIDS的了解确实影响了玩耍时的姿势，26%的家长表示从不将婴儿俯卧玩耍。SIDS知识对玩耍姿势的影响与避免俯卧玩耍之间存在显著关联（P = 0.002）。
社区教育工作者可能需要阐明，俯卧玩耍并非SIDS的风险因素，并且婴儿在有监督的清醒时间内俯卧是有益的。
