“A study to assess the effectiveness of planned teaching program on knowledge regarding Shaken Baby Syndrome among community people at selected area of Kheda District”

Abstract

Shaken Baby Syndrome (SBS) occurs in infants when subjected to excessive acceleration–deceleration of the head. SBS was first pointed out by Norman Guthkelch, who noticed that infants with subdural hematoma did not always have gross markings, which signified the shaking of a baby as a possibility. Rotational force pushes the brain against the skull leading to various types of injuries to the head and neck.
