A research group of Professor Takeo Fujiwara of Tokyo Medical and Dental University and Associate Professor Yusuke Miyazaki of Tokyo Institute of Technology has collaborated with the National Center for Child Health and Development to prevent "shaking syndrome" and "closed mouth" that are common in infant abuse. In order to do so, the video "Baby does not stop crying" created in collaboration with the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare was incorporated into the maternal and child health administration, and it was found that the shaking and mouth closure of the baby could be drastically reduced to 52%.
In the verification of death cases due to child abuse, one-quarter of them are head trauma due to abuse, and most of them are infant shake syndrome.Infant crying was the trigger for abuse and was thought to be preventable by videos teaching how to deal with crying.Therefore, it was necessary to verify the effect of the video, which has an impact on the viewer.
Conducted verification in City A, Japan.Hello, I conducted a study to watch the video "Baby does not stop crying" created by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare during a home visit two months after giving birth by the baby business.Home visits were conducted by midwives, public health nurses and trained volunteers.
At the time of the four-month medical examination, the target maternity women were surveyed on the status of watching videos and abuses using a questionnaire, and a total of 4 people answered.As a result of the analysis, it was found that the maternity women who watched the video had a low rate of shaking the baby, 5961% of the mouth blockage, and 74% of the abuse of either baby.
Educational videos of infant crying and the dangers of shaking and mouth closure based on anatomical mechanisms have been shown to have the potential to halve shaking and mouth closure at 4 months postpartum.In the future, by letting all maternity women watch the video "Baby does not stop crying" created by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare in the Hello Baby Business, it is possible that head trauma due to abuse can be halved.
