    Abstract:
    A partnership between a nursing program and a rural obstetric office provided education to pregnant and postpartum women about coping with infant crying and the dangers of shaking a baby. Undergraduate nursing students delivered the Period of PURPLE Crying (PURPLE) educational program to 148 mothers. Change in knowledge about infant crying and the community clinical experience was evaluated. Pre and post intervention data were collected. Descriptive statistics indicated higher scores on mothers' posttest for knowledge about normal newborn crying behaviors and coping strategies. Students further developed the role of educator and researcher. These findings suggest the intervention contributed to mothers' improved knowledge about infant crying. Results of the pilot study are encouraging because the intervention had a significant effect on mothers' knowledge about infant crying and Shaken Baby Syndrome (SBS).
