The purpose of the study was to determine if an educational program for parents of newborns can be useful to prevent Shaken Baby Syndrome in Puerto Rican families. Staff training was performed, parents observed an educational video & infant crying management strategies were discussed. Pre-post tests, follow up phone calls and medical chart reviews (53%) were conducted. A total of 65 newborns participated (62 mothers, 11 fathers). Parents reported that 50% had college studies, 78.7% lived together and 83.1% had government insurance. Pre-post tests demonstrated increase in knowledge (p < 0.05). Over 75% were contacted; 94% recalled learned strategies & 98% reported the infants had been well. Two infants were removed from home; no incidents of head trauma were reported. Almost half (44.5%) indicated taking care of the baby was difficult; managing the baby's crying was most difficult. All reported the program helped them. The program should be offered in other hospitals.

Asepsis is the practice of preventing or breaking the chain of infection. The nurse employs aseptic techniques to prevent the spread of microorganisms and reduce the risk of diseases. Hand hygiene is the cornerstone of aseptic techniques and is classified into medical and surgical asepsis. Medical asepsis includes hand hygiene and the use of gloves. Surgical asepsis, or the sterile technique, refers to practices that render and keep objects and areas free of microorganisms.

Handwashing II: Pre-procedure and Initial Procedure Steps

The pre-procedure steps of handwashing include removing jewelry and rolling up sleeves. However, many organizations allow staff to wear wedding rings.

Handwashing I: Introduction and Types of Equipment

Handwashing is hand hygiene with plain or antimicrobial soap and water to physically remove dirt, organic material, and microorganisms. However, it may not kill all microorganisms. The handwashing procedure requires a hand wash basin, liquid soap, paper towels, a domestic waste bin, and disposable nail cleaner as optional equipment.
Hand wash basins in clinical areas should have faucets that can be turned on and off without using the hands; that is, they should be non-touch or lever-operated.
