This initiative accompanied the rollout of the P\u0113pi\u2010Pod as a culturally responsive safe sleep alternative. The aim of this study was to conduct a safe sleep education blitz to health professionals to evaluate the effectiveness of the education blitz in enhancing clinical knowledge of safe sleep practices. Surveys were administered to health professionals both before and after the education blitz to assess changes in knowledge and evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention. The mean knowledge score increased from 8.6 (SD\u2009=\u20092.56) pre\u2010intervention to 9.5 (SD\u2009=\u20091.22) post\u2010intervention, indicating a positive trend in knowledge acquisition. However, this improvement was not statistically significant. The most notable improvement was seen in responses to the question, \u201cWhat weakens a baby's arousal response?\u201d where correct answers increased from 83% pre\u2010intervention to 100% post\u2010intervention. The education blitz proved to be promising in enhancing safe sleep knowledge and increasing awareness of the P\u0113pi\u2010Pod Program as a safe sleep alternative. While health and care professionals demonstrated a high level of understanding, particularly regarding infant arousal and breathing physiology, further improvement could be achieved through continued access to the education blitz. Further evaluation with a larger sample size or over longer time frames is required to confirm these findings.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/jpc.70612","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,2]],"date-time":"2026-10-02T03:44:46Z","timestamp":1790912686000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Safe Sleep Education Blitz: A Pre\u2010Post Survey Study"],"prefix":"10.1111","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7150-0836","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nina","family":"Sivertsen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Flinders University, Caring Futures Institute (Cultural Care Area of Focus), College of Health and Enablement  Adelaide South Australia Australia"},{"name":"UiT Arctic University of Norway, Faculty of Health Sciences  Troms\u00f8 Norway"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4457-1799","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Charlene","family":"Thornton","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Western Sydney University, School of Nursing and Midwifery  Sydney New South Wales Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sharon","family":"Watts","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Flinders University, Caring Futures Institute (Cultural Care Area of Focus), College of Health and Enablement  Adelaide South Australia Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3500-037X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anna","family":"Dowling","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Flinders University, Caring Futures Institute (Cultural Care Area of Focus), College of Health and Enablement  Adelaide South Australia Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8909-2882","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tahlia","family":"Johnson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Flinders University, Caring Futures Institute (Cultural Care Area of Focus), College of Health and Enablement  Adelaide South Australia Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Janiene","family":"Deverix","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Child and Family Health Services  Adelaide South Australia Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9569-3254","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Susan","family":"Dyer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Northern Adelaide Local Health Network  Adelaide South Australia Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wilhelmine","family":"Lieberwirth","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Manager Aboriginal Services, Child and Family Health Services, Women's and Children's Health Network  Adelaide South Australia Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7053-7768","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alice","family":"Steeb","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Manager Aboriginal Services, Child and Family Health Services, Women's and Children's Health Network  Adelaide South Australia Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4469-3959","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Susan","family":"Smith","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Flinders University, Caring Futures Institute (Cultural Care Area of Focus), College of Health and Enablement  Adelaide South Australia Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4856-2147","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Julian","family":"Grant","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Charles Sturt University, School of Nursing, Paramedicine and Healthcare Sciences, Charles Sturt University  Bathurst New South Wales Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,1]]},"reference":[{"issue":"3","key":"e_1_2_16_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"309","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-3016.1996.tb00053.x","article-title":"Sudden Infant Death Syndrome in Australian Aboriginal and Non\u2010Aboriginal Infants: An Analytical Comparison","volume":"10","author":"Alessandri L.
