Abstract:

This study aims to identify mother’s opinion on infant sleep position and the factors associated with the intention to place the infant in the supine position in Rio Grande, Southern Brazil. A standardized questionnaire was applied to all mothers living in this municipality who had baby in the two local hospitals during 2010. Chi square test was used to compare proportions and Poisson regression analysis with robust adjustment of variance in the multivariable analisys. The effect measure used was prevalence ratio (PR). Among the 2,395 (97.2% of total) mothers interviewed, 20% of mothers (CI 95%: 18,4%-21,6%) intended to place the newborn to sleep in the supine position. This prevalence varied from 11% (IC95%: 8,1-13,7) for mothers with three or more children to 35% (IC95% 31,1-40,2) among those with 12 or more years of schooling. After adjusted analisy, mothers of younger age, higher education and familiy income, who attended prenatal care in the private system, or who have had three or more children had significantly higher PR to place the baby to sleep in the supine position compared to others. Campaigns encouraging sleep in supine position should focus primarily on mothers of lower socioeconomic level, greater age and those performing prenatal care in the basic health units.
