| Abstract | This paper includes a literature review on several aspects of Sudden Unexpected Infant Death Syndrome including types, risk factors, prevention techniques, and nursing roles. This literature review was performed to assist in creating a 14-question survey sent to nurses through Facebook groups, Sigma Theta Tau, and professional connections. The survey was laid out to investigate what the key aspects of SUIDS are, what information is taught well, what information needs to be improved upon, and what personal experience the participants have had. In general, safe sleep was found to be the most essential component of SUIDS education and the lack of standardized protocols causes discrepancies among those providing the education. Researchers concluded that hospitals should implement standardized protocols to make certain that parents and guardians are well prepared in how to prevent SUIDS events when possible. |
