Abstract

Shaken Baby Syndrome often occurs after shaking in response to crying bouts of infants; which are a source of frustration and anger for parents It results in serious health problems in the infants such as intracranial and retinal bleeding brain injury and even death The syndrome can be prevented by providing training to parents especially in the early postnatal period and increasing awareness about the dangers of shaking This review aims to draw attention to shaken baby syndrome which is largely unrecognized in our country and to emphasize the importance of the prevention programs Turk Arch Ped 2012; 47: 152 8

Sarsılmış bebek sendromu ve önleme programları

Abstract

Sarsılmış bebek sendromu bebeğin ilk aylarda sık olan ağlama krizlerinin ebeveynde oluşturduğu hayal kırıklığı ve kızgınlık sonucu bebeği sarsmasıyla ortaya çıkan ve bebekte kafa içi kanama göz dibi kanaması ve beyin hasarı gibi ciddi sağlık sorunları yaratabilen hatta ölümle sonuçlanabilen bir durumdur Çocuklar sarsıldıktan sonra gelişen hasarın geri dönüşü olmadığı için sendrom oluşmadan önlemek çok önemlidir Sarsılmış bebek sendromunun özellikle doğum sonrası erken dönemde ebeveynlere eğitim verilmesi sonucu farkındalıklarının artması sağlanarak önlenmesi mümkündür Bu derleme ülkemizde çok iyi bilinmeyen ldquo;sarsılmış bebek rdquo; sendromuna dikkat çekmek ve önleme programlarının önemini vurgulamak amacıyla hazırlanmıştır.
