Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Method: Simple randomization will be used to evaluate the intervention and control groups. The study will be carried out with 90 mothers babies of 2-4 months, who applied to Akdeniz University Hospital Healthy Child Outpatient Clinic (intervention group: 45, control group: 45). After the pre-test, the mothers in the intervention group will be trained and a booklet will be given. Tele-consultancy service will be provided to mothers during the 2-month follow-up period. After 2 months of follow-up, a post-test will be applied to the mothers in the intervention group. The mothers in the control group will not be intervened after the pretest is applied. A post test will be applied 2 months after the pre-test. After the post-test, the mothers in the control group will be trained and a booklet will be given. Ethics committee approval and institutional permission were obtained for the study. Verbal and written consent will be obtained from the mothers during the data collection phase.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Following the pretest, the intervention group will be trained to prevent shaken baby syndrome. Expert opinion was obtained from 10 expert faculty members for the content of the training. After the training, the booklet prepared in line with expert opinions will be given to the mother in the intervention group. The booklet will remain with the mother. Tele-consultancy will be given to the mother for 2 months after the pre-test. The control group will also be tested beforehand and will not be intervened afterwards. 2 months after the pre-test, a post-test will be applied to the control group and training will be given to prevent shaken baby syndrome. A training booklet will be given to the mothers in the control group after the final test.
Statistical analysis will be done using SPSS 23.0 and statistical significance will be set at p \<0.05.
Support will be received in the analysis phase of the Statistical Information Unit of Akdeniz University.

Study Groups

İntervention group
Randomization with a sealed envelope will be applied to mothers who have 2-4 months old babies who apply to Akdeniz University Hospital Pediatric Outpatient Clinic for health control and who accept the study. A pre-test application will be made in the intervention group. The Researcher will fill in the Personal Information Form and the Shaken baby syndrome assessment survey at this stage.
The training prepared to prevent shaken baby syndrome, which was prepared immediately after the end of the pre-test application, will be given to the mothers in the intervention group. The training will be given with mothers using one-to-one face-to-face interview method. Necessary equipment will be provided for training. At the end of the training, the questions of the mothers will be answered and a booklet prepared to prevent shaken baby syndrome will be given and tele-consultancy will be provided for 2 months.
Training program
A training program and booklet content for the education to be given to mothers includes the following topics.
* What is shaken baby syndrome and what is its cause?
* What are the harms caused by shaken baby syndrome?
* How is shaken baby syndrome understood?
* What problems can shaken baby syndrome cause?
* What are the measures to be taken? For the training and the content of the booklet, expert opinion was obtained from 10 academic members who are experts in the field of Child Health. An evaluation form was created for pre-test and post-test measurements. Expert opinions were also received for these forms.
Mothers of 2-4 months old babies who applied to Akdeniz University Hospital Pediatric Outpatient Clinic for check-up were randomized with a sealed envelope and accepted the study. In this way, intervention and control groups can be determined. After the pre-test is done in the intervention group, 2-month training, booklet and tele-consultancy services will be provided.
Control group
No application will be made to the mothers in the control group after the pre-test application. After 2 months, the final test application will be made. After the last test, the mothers in the control group will be given a training and a booklet prepared to prevent shaken baby syndrome.
No interventions assigned to this group
