Reaction
I consider that The Shaken Baby Syndrome (SBS) Education Program is very
effective and is very important for enhancing the awareness of the family before
discharging them from the hospital about the danger signs of violent infant shaking.
We should encourage this educational program not just in foreign country but we
should include this here in the Philippines for us Filipinos to know that violent shaking is
the number 1 cause of infant death all over the world.
This Educational Program also lessens the child abuse as the people become
educated. Shaken baby syndrome may cause several injuries including blindness or
eye damage, developmental delay, seizures, spinal cord damage, brain injury and
death.
Nursing Implication
This Educational Program was also first implemented by two nurses as the
coordinator of this program. This is very important for nurses because in this journal it
also shows that nurses serves as resource nurses for the nurse managers and provide
them with updated information because that was the most effective in keeping the
program moving forward.
