| Data collection method | The mothers were questioned on the day that they left the maternity ward. The mothers of newborns transferred at birth to intensive care or neonatal units, and the mothers of children who have stayed in a mother-child unit (kangaroo unit) were excluded. Self-questionnaires were distributed by the maternity ward staff to mothers who met the study's inclusion criteria. The mothers were questioned on the day that they left the maternity ward (average: third day after delivery). At the PMI centre, the nursery attendants distributed the questionnaire in the waiting room. The questions related to the characteristics of the newborn at birth, the sociodemographic characteristics of the parents, the present or future sleeping position. Parents were asked about the preferred sleeping position and their reasons for choosing it. They were asked about any siblings and the sleeping position recommended at the time. |
