背景:尽管婴儿死亡率很低,Aotearoa新西兰婴儿猝死(SUDI)的发生率很高,对太平洋婴儿的影响不成比例。这项研究探索了婴儿护理实践,与汤加人SUDI风险增加相关的因素和关系,萨摩亚人,库克群岛毛利人,和新西兰的纽埃母亲,为基于证据的干预措施提供信息,以减少太平洋家庭及其子女的SUDI发病率。
方法:分析包括2009-2010年从1089个萨摩亚人收集的数据,汤加,库克群岛毛利人和纽埃人的母亲参加了在新西兰长大的纵向队列研究。在6周时评估婴儿的睡眠环境(同床和睡眠位置)。进行多变量logistic回归分析,控制社会人口统计学因素,以探索选定的孕产妇和妊娠支持与环境因素和婴儿睡眠环境之间的关系。
结果:在家用英语以外的语言交谈的母亲,咨询替代医生的母亲不太可能遵循婴儿睡姿指南。同样的语言,吸烟,酒精,家庭住宅,拥挤和获得家庭医生或全科医生与遵循同床指南的母亲有关。
结论:如果有关危险因素的交流更包括不同种族,则SUDI对太平洋婴儿的影响可能会减轻或预防。文化世界观,和语言。获得负担得起的住房等社会结构问题也很重要。这项研究表明,需要更有针对性或量身定制的干预措施,以文化上尊重和有意义的方式促进安全睡眠并降低苏迪病的发生率。新西兰。
Despite a low rate of infant mortality, Aotearoa New Zealand has a high rate of Sudden Unexpected Death in Infants (SUDI), with disproportionate impact for Pacific infants. This
study explored the infant care practices, factors and relationships associated with increased risk of SUDI amongst Tongan, Samoan, Cook Islands Māori, and Niuean mothers in New Zealand, to inform evidence-based interventions for reducing the incidence of SUDI for Pacific families and their children.
Analysis comprised of data collected in 2009-2010 from 1089 Samoan, Tongan, Cook Islands Māori and Niuean mothers enrolled in the Growing Up in New Zealand longitudinal cohort
study. The sleeping environment (bed-sharing and sleep position) of the infants was assessed at 6 weeks. Multivariable logistic regression analysis were conducted, controlling for sociodemographic factors to explore the association between selected maternal and pregnancy support and environment factors and the sleeping environment for infants.
Mothers who converse in languages other than English at home, and mothers who consulted alternative practitioners were less likely to follow guidelines for infant sleeping position. Similarly language, smoking, alcohol, household dwelling, crowding and access to a family doctor or GP were associated with mothers following guidelines for bed-sharing.
The impact of SUDI on Pacific infants may be lessened or prevented if communication about risk factors is more inclusive of diverse ethnic, cultural worldviews, and languages. Societal structural issues such as access to affordable housing is also important. This research suggests a need for more targeted or tailored interventions which promote safe sleeping and reduce rates of SUDI in a culturally respectful and meaningful way for Pasifika communities in Aotearoa, New Zealand.
