Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) related anxiety (SRA) affects over half of families at SIDS clinics. Previous child loss and pregnancy complications significantly increase SRA risk, highlighting the need for targeted psychological support.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Public Health
  • Pediatrics

Background:

  • Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) awareness has increased, leading to a rise in SIDS-related anxiety (SRA).
  • Factors such as public awareness, past negative experiences, infant health issues, and lack of family support can contribute to SRA.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the specific factors that most significantly contribute to the development of SIDS-related anxiety (SRA).

Main Methods:

  • A structured questionnaire was administered to 169 families over 18 months at an outpatient clinic.
  • Data collected included demographics, obstetric history, prior child loss, pregnancy/delivery complications, infant morbidity, family dynamics, and perceived support.
  • Statistical analysis was used to determine the relationship between these factors and SRA.

Main Results:

  • SRA was reported by 58% of families, with 21% experiencing severe SRA.
  • A significant association was found between prior child loss and SRA (OR: 2.95).
  • Pregnancy complications also showed a significant relationship with SRA (OR: 2.19).
  • No significant links were found between SRA and delivery complications, infant illness, family interaction, or support.

Conclusions:

  • SIDS-related anxiety (SRA) is prevalent in families seeking SIDS counseling.
  • Psychological interventions and support are crucial for managing SRA.
  • Preventive care should focus on families with a history of child loss or high-risk pregnancies.
