"Don't
Shake the Baby" (Profile of a Prevention Program)
The story is too common to be dismissed. You respond to your local hospital's
call about a potential "shaken baby." You meet a young couple
with a two month old child--their first. Mother is the primary caregiver
but went out for a few hours to grocery shop and get her hair cut. The
baby seemed fine when she left but when she returned the baby wouldn't
wake up from his nap and seemed to be having trouble breathing. She called
911. Dad reports that the baby was fussy all afternoon but finally went
to sleep. Or he says the child fell off the bed but seemed okay.
But as the medical evidence comes back, the story comes out. Dad became
impatient with a crying baby he could not soothe. Out of frustration,
he shook the child, not knowing this could cause blindness, brain-damage,
paralysis--even death.
It is the impulsiveness and lack of knowledge about shaking that the
"Don't Shake the Baby" campaign is trying to counteract. The
results of the project are detailed in an article by Jacy Showers in a
1992 volume of Child Abuse and Neglect. The project, piloted in
Franklin County, Ohio, had two goals--to increase parental knowledge about
the dangers of shaking a child and, by doing this, to reduce shaking-related
injuries and deaths. A related goal included teaching parents to handle
an infant's excessive crying.
Following delivery, 3,293 new mothers where given a "crying card"
detailing why babies cry and what parents can do to soothe them. The card
also relates the dangers of shaking and gives parents alternatives when
they cannot tolerate the crying another moment.
A follow-up survey was sent to participating mothers asking them how
helpful they perceived the information from the crying card to be. Ninety-five
percent of mothers who were given the card read it. Seventy-five percent
said the information was helpful to them and that they were much less
likely to shake their babies having read the card. Many said they felt
other parents needed information like this.
While these results indicate that an educational campaign about shaking
may be useful, one can't help but notice that the project was not directed
at those most likely to shake an infant--young fathers or mother's boyfriends,
often in their early twenties, who are not regular caregivers to the infant.
Mothers may share the crying card with other caregivers, but directly
targeting males would also seem to be an appropriate prevention strategy.
In addition, the article did not report whether rates of shaking went
down following the prevention effort.
