Abstract
The Shaken Baby Syndrome is part of the classification of physic abuse. It affects mostly children under two years old and occurs when the caregiver holds the minor and exerst pressure that produces acceleration and deceleration of the childs head generating an impact that causes brain, osseous, hearing, ocular injuries. Therefore is intended to determine the effect of an educational intervention in order to avoid the shaking, no matter if it is used as a mechanism to calm the babies crying or as a demostration of affection through playing. The present investigation is an evaluative-quantitative study conducted at 60 caregivers who were given a tool designed from existing literature on Shaken Baby Syndrome which inquires about sociodemographic characteristics of the participantes and the knowledge and behaviour that can influence the Shaken Baby Syndrome before and after the educational intervention. The result of the investigation showed that thanks to the educational intervention, the caregivers had an improvement in knowledge in 84.5% and in behaviour in 26%. This leads to the conclusion that the educational strategies aimed at caregivers increased their skills and knowledge in relation to the care.
