Health Promotion Plan Presentation
Hello., I am Kenneth. I am thankful to all of you for joining us in this
educational session. I’ll discuss a health promotion plan for the disease of
Sudden Infant Death (SID). Children die every minute due to SID in the US.
According to medicine and science studies, these infants’ development requires
support from a comprehensive healthcare approach. These babies’ mothers
have been discovered to use drugs and engage in other risky activities.
According to research by Monnelly and Becher (2020), sudden infant death
syndrome (SID) is the premature death of a healthy newborn younger than 12
months (Yamout et al., 2018). Despite a careful examination of the scene of
death, a review of the clinical history, and an autopsy, the cause of death is still
unknown. Abrupt infant death syndrome is the term used to describe the
sudden death of a newborn younger than one-year-old who appeared to be in
good condition (SID). It is often known as crib death because neonates often
die in their cribs. Despite the fact that the precise cause of SID is unknown, it
appears to be related to problems in the part of a baby’s brain that controls
respiration and waking up from sleep (Tester et al., 2018).

Although sleep programs are remarkably efficient, SID is the leading cause of
infant death worldwide and in the United States. Due to considerable public
health initiatives targeting high-risk groups to improve sleep environments and
practices, the SID rate has recently stayed stable. The American Academy of
Pediatrics’ recommendations for a secure newborn resting environment is
discussed with the multiple states’ SID registry maintained by the United
States (Peng et al., 2019). Researchers have discovered some risk factors
researchers have found risk factors as possibly increasing in newborns. You
can also take precautions to protect your baby from SID.
The Plan Based on Specific, Identified Health Needs and Goals
, Such a healthcare strategy must be built because of how serious the
community health situation is in the United States. Our public health nurses
can manage difficult conditions, but their efforts to prevent SID in infants are
less successful without a clear strategy. The term “abrupt infant death
syndrome” refers to the sudden death of a newborn younger than one year of
age. Since children who die from SID most frequently do so while asleep, the
disorder is still referred to as “crib death.” The scarcity of options is one of the
factors that makes SID so terrifying. Despite years of research, SID is still the
primary reason infants between one month and one year pass away (Gray et al.,
2019)

One study found that the following factors may increase a baby’s risk of SID.
Infants prefer to sleep on their stomachs than their backs. Infants who slept on
soft surfaces were covered in blankets and loose bedding. An infant and an
adult or child sharing a bed. To prevent oropharyngeal obstruction, sucking on
a pacifier causes the tongue to advance. The pacifier’s apparent ability to avoid
SID may be related to how it affects sleep posture. Consequently, a suitable
strategy is required to direct mothers in preventing SID in their newborns
(Oliveira et al., 2020).
Further research has shown that having a child sleep in the mother’s bedroom
can reduce the chance of SID. For as long as six months, ideally up to a year, a
baby can rest alone in a crib, bassinet, or another infant-specific sleeping
arrangement in their mother’s room. The idea that parents’ ability to put their
kids to sleep lowers their likelihood of having SID has been refuted by recent
studies. A healthcare nurse will therefore need an evidence-based strategy to
reduce the risk of SID. A similar reduction in SIDS risk was shown in a study
that examined how SID might arise in children who had been breastfed for at
least six months.

Because chronic disease onset is on the rise, every patient, who is impacted
needs competent care. A healthcare strategy must be developed, and measures
must be taken to raise awareness of the significant issues caused by excessive
carelessness. Nurses play an essential role in raising public awareness because
they know the patients’ behavior. Setting up SMART goals(Specific,
Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Timely) can assist in determining the
community’s health requirements and achieving the desired goals for the
patients who die from SID (Trapl et al., 2021).
Additionally, counseling sessions on how to form healthy relationships and
control eating during pregnancy can be taught to them. SMART goals are
pretty helpful in this situation, and nurses’ roles in creating a welcoming
environment for patients also function very well. Nurses work closely with
