                            <p>Uyku, bebeklerin beyin gelişimi ve genel büyüme süreçlerinde kritik bir rol oynamaktadır. Uykunun güvenli koşullarda gerçekleşmesi, Ani Bebek Ölüm Sendromu riskini önemli ölçüde azaltmaktadır. Bu çalışma, Amerikan Pediatri Akademisi’nin 2022 yılı güvenli uyku önerileri temel alınarak, Türkiye&#039;de 0-12 aylık bebeklerin annelerinin Ani Bebek Ölüm Sendromu ve güvenli uyku uygulamalarına ilişkin bilgi, tutum ve davranışlarını değerlendirmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bu kesitsel ve tanımlayıcı çalışma Türkiye’de tek bir merkezde yürütülmüş olup 226 anne dahil edilmiştir. Annelerin %23.0’ü gebelik döneminde, %30.1’, ise emzirme sürecinde sigara içtiğini belirtmiştir. Ayrıca annelerin %66,1&#039;i sigara içtikten sonra hemen bebeklerini kucağına almadığını, %67.6&#039;sı ise sigara içtikten sonra kıyafetlerini değiştirmediğini belirtti. Bebeklerin yalnızca %32.7’si sırtüstü pozisyonda uyutulmuş; aynı oranda bebek emzik kullanmış ve %54.9’u yumuşak yataklarda yatırılmıştır. Annelerin %27.4’ü bebekleriyle aynı yatakta uyuduklarını bildirmiştir. Katılımcıların %62.8’i Ani Bebek Ölüm Sendromu hakkında bilgi sahibi olduğunu belirtirken, en yaygın bilgi kaynağı olarak sosyal medya ve internet öne çıkmıştır. Elde edilen bulgular, güvenli uyku uygulamalarının anneler tarafından yeterince benimsenmediğini göstermektedir. Bu durum, ulusal ve uluslararası literatürde bildirilen düşük uyum oranlarıyla paralellik göstermektedir. Kültürel normlar, eğitim eksiklikleri ve bilgi kaynaklarının güvenilirliğine dair şüpheler, annelerin uyku güvenliği konusundaki davranışlarını olumsuz yönde etkilemektedir. Sonuçlar, güvenli uyku yönergelerine ilişkin farkındalık ve uyumu artırmak amacıyla yapılandırılmış, kanıta dayalı eğitim müdahalelerine duyulan gereksinimi açıkça ortaya koymaktadır.</p></trans-abstract>

Ensuring that sleep occurs in a safe environment significantly reduces the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. This study aimed to evaluate the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of mothers with infants aged 0-12 months regarding Sudden Infant Death Syndrome and safe sleep environments, based on the American Academy of Pediatrics 2022 safe sleep recommendations. This cross-sectional and descriptive study was conducted at a single center in Türkiye and included 226 mothers. Among the mothers, 23.0% of the mothers smoked during pregnancy and 30.1% smoked during the breastfeeding period. Furthermore, 66.1% reported that they did not hold their baby immediately after smoking, and another 67.6% stated that they did not change their clothes after smoking.  Only 32.7% of infants were placed in a supine sleeping position, 32.7% used pacifiers, and 54.9% slept on soft bedding. Co-sleeping with the infant was reported by 27.4% of the participants. While 62.8% of the mothers were aware of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, the most common source of information was social media or the Internet. The findings reveal that safe sleep practices are not adequately adopted by mothers, consistent with low adherence rates reported in both national and international literature. Cultural norms, lack of formal education, and the questionable reliability of information sources appear to negatively influence mothers’ behaviors regarding infant sleep safety. These results underscore the need for structured, evidence-based educational interventions to improve awareness and adherence to safe sleep guidelines.</p></abstract>
