Developing Guidelines for Child Health Care Nurses to Prevent Nonsynostotic Plagiocephaly: Searching for the Evidence 12

The aim of the project was to develop guidelines for nurses that can be incorporated into the Swedish child health care program to prevent nonsynostotic plagiocephaly in infants while still following sudden infant death syndrome preventive measures. Guidelines were developed by reviewing the literature, compiling evidence, appraising recommendations, and formulating a condensed version of relevant information for nurses. The guidelines were tested clinically in a Swedish pilot project.
