There is physical, sexualand/or psychological abuse.”2 More than 10 millionchildren younger than 18 years, experience some formof maltreatment from a caregiver, ranging from neglectto sexual abuse, but only a small percentage of theseStudent Forumviolent incidents are reported to law enforcement,New Mexico Nursing Education Forumhealth care clinicians, or child protective agencies.3Graduates First CohortMoreover, exposure to violence increases vulnerabilityPage 5to a broad range of mental and physical healthproblems over the life course; for example, metaanalyses indicate that exposure to physical abuse inWhat’s Old is “NEW” again:childhood is associated with a 54% increased odds ofTB Nurse Case Managmentdepressive disorder, a 78% increased odds of sexuallyPage 7transmitted illness or risky sexual behavior, and a 32%increased odds of obesity.4 Rates of violence vary byage, geographic location, sex, and race/ethnicity, andDeath with Dignity:significant disparities exist.5The Debate BroadensChild neglect is an “act of omission that is a failurePage 8to provide for a child’s basic physical, emotional, oreducational needs or to protect a child from harmor potential harm.6 The following types ofmaltreatment involve acts of omission: physical,Presort Standardemotional, medical and dental, educationalUS Postageneglect, inadequate supervision, and exposurePAIDPermit #14to violent environments.current resident orPrinceton, MN55371Children in New MexicoNew Mexico ranks next to the lowest inthe United States for well-being of children.7According to the National KIDS Count, NewMexico has 513,442 children under 18 with149,000 living in poverty which is about 1/3of the children in NM. Thirty five percentof children have parents who lack secureemployment, 62% of children are not attendingpreschool, 44% (213,000) of children live in singleparent families and 12% of teens are not in school.8Two years ago, there were 5,992 child abuse andneglect victims and 16 deaths from child abuse.8According to the National KIDS Count, in 2015 NM’soverall rank was 49 out of 50 in the United States.Child Abuse in New MexicoShaken Baby Syndrome (SBS) is a type of AbusiveHead Trauma (AHT) and the leading cause of childabuse death. At least one of every four babies whoare violently shaken dies from this form of childmaltreatment. The estimated rate of SBS is 30 cases per100,000 children aged one year or younger or between1,200 and 1,600 children every year.9 In a 10 yearretrospective study in Canada Dr. King and colleaguesfound that 19% of children, with a median age of 4.6months, died from SBS.10Survivors of a shaking injury often have long-termdisabilities. More than 80% of those abused havelifelong brain injuries.11 The majority of the survivorsare left with handicaps ranging from mild learningdisorders to profound mental and developmentalretardation, paralysis, and blindness, which can result ina permanent vegetative state.It is estimated that child abuse cost the health caresystem approximately 124 billion.12 The initial andlong-term cost of medical care for children who arevictims of SBS is 47,952 per patient. These mortalityand morbidity statistics demonstrate the seriousness ofSBS and the need to prevent this form of child abuse.At the University of New Mexico Hospital (UNMH),the nurses have implemented an evidence-based,parental educational program that has excellent resultsin reducing child abuse known as SBS and they areinitiating a legislative bill to require that all new parentsare educated on the prevention of child abuse beforeleaving a maternity ward.Nurses Educating Parents on Triggers for SBSNurses working in the neonatal units explain toparents that infant crying is a normal behavior ofinfants that often serves as a trigger that contributesto parental frustration and the act of shaking.13 Thehighest incidence for SBS occur in infants under oneyear of age, infants of multiple birth, prematurity,low birth weight, those exposed to substance abuseand also in male infants. Just as there are high-riskcategories for those infants that are abused thereare categories that place adults at a higher risk toChild Abuse Prevention continued on page 4

January, February, March 2016The New Mexico Nurse Page 3President’s MessageLeigh DeRoos BSN, MSPresident New Mexico Nurses AssociationThank you for your support over the last two years and for re-electing me to servemy second term as President of the New Mexico Nurses Association. At the recentNMNA annual meeting, I informed the members that the state of our association issolid and I am very happy to say that the New Mexico Nurses Association (NMNA)has seen not only an increase in membership but, more importantly, an increase inmember involvement. It is because of this member engagement that we continue toexpand our voice and our advocacy in New Mexico.Nurses in New Mexico, through NMNA, have a history of a strong lobbyingpresence and have therefore long enjoyed a progressive practice environment stillnot achieved in many states. Nurses have had a voice at the national level throughthe American Nurses Association (ANA) : “When nurses talk Washington listens.”National Lobby Day for nurses is held in Washington DC in conjunction with the ANAMembership Assembly. NMNA was well represented on the Hill this year. Nurses whoattend the DC lobbying event overwhelmingly state how beneficial and educationalit is to meet with their elected officials to discuss issues that impact nurses and theirstates. They return to their respective states re-invigorated with a proactive mindsetand a willingness to become more involved in health care policy issues that impacttheir states. The nurses who attend also come away with an increased understandingof Congressional staff in Washington. In addition, NMNA members have served oninitiatives at the national level that allow them to impact health care policy issuesnationally. This year we were fortunate enough to send two of our members to theANA’s American Nurse Advocacy Institute (ANAI), a year -long mentoring program“designed to develop a strong cadre of registered nurses equipped to influence healthpolicy at the local, state and national levels” (American Nurse Advocacy Institute, n.d.). (See Nurses in our News for more information).At the state level, we continue nursing’s voice on a range of fronts. We engageour elected representatives through both our contracted lobbyist, Linda Siegel, andthrough our Executive Director and registered lobbyist, Deborah Walker. In addition,at Capitol Challenge (Nurses’ Lobby Day February 2, 2016), our annual legislativeconference, nurses throughout our state have the unique opportunity to meetwith their elected representatives and use their voice to promote issues that impactnurses and their communities. NMNA, working with nurse producer/director CamilleAdair, has developed a diversity video which complements the Nursing DiversityInstitute chaired by Lisa-Marie Turk. If you have not seen the video, you can accessit at NMNA’s website -www.nmna.org. Also, mirroring national affiliation betweenANA and specialty associations, we have nursing organizations that have affiliatedwith NMNA, such as the NM Native American Nurse Association, the NM chapter ofOncology Nurses, the NM Holistic Health Nurses, the NM Nurse Practitioner Counciland the NM Nephrology Nurses. At the annual meeting, many of the specialty nursingorganizations came together for a Nursing Issues Forum and the consensus was that,regardless of the organization we, as a profession, have many issues in common andthe issues forums need to continue.To continue our increasing member involvement and to provide options formembers regardless of geographic location, the New Mexico Nurses Association isdeveloping interest groups that address your issues and your concerns. One of ourinterest groups is health councils. Presently, we have members actively engaged inhealth councils throughout the state to lend their expertise.

We have NMNA members participating in the TaskForce for Health Care Transitions in our state. Not only do NMNA members serveon healthcare committees, such as the Team Pregnancy Prevention Work Group inLas Cruces, I was recently asked by Congressman Pearce’s office to participate in aroundtable discussion on the impact of the Affordable Care Act on New Mexicans.NMNA is focusing on developing programs for the unique needs of the new RN.There is a new graduate advisory committee composed of recent new graduatenurses who advise NMNA on concerns and issues of new RNs. Under the leadershipof Ed Chacon, BSN and Jason Bloomer BSN, NMNA has developed a Welcome tothe Profession program to help new RNs to transition into the profession of nursing.In addition, NMNA is rolling out a mentoring project based on ANA’s mentoringprogram, but tweaking it to reflect the needs of new RNs working in New Mexico.This mentoring program is a member-only benefit designed to match new RNs witha nurse having more than 5 years of experience. NMNA understands the importanceof a new RN having a supportive and nurturing relationship with an experienced RNduring the crucial transition from nursing school to nursing practice. Our mentoringprogram is designed to facilitate this. If any members are interested in helping withthis mentoring project, please go the ANA website and register at www.ana.orgAs I begin my new term, I asked that if you are a member please considerbecoming involved in one of the interest groups. Volunteer to become involved inhealth councils in your area or if you have a concern or issue that an interest groupcould address, please contact me or Deborah Walker in our Santa Fe office at 505471-3324. Your active involvement is invaluable and we want to be meeting memberneeds. We provide orientation for most of the volunteer opportunities.

Page 4 The New Mexico NurseChild Abuse Prevention continued from page 1be perpetrators. Perpetrators are more often males with less formal education,younger, unmarried, part of a dysfunctional family or who experienced previousabuse and were frequently identified as being the mother’s boyfriend, the fatheror stepfather.14 It is important to know that parental risk factors for abuse identifiedinclude substance abuse (53%), domestic violence (42%), criminal history (32%),unrealistic expectations (42%) and attachment problems (32%).14Evidence-Based Interventions to Prevent Child AbuseResearch has demonstrated that hospital-based education to parents is effective inimproving parental education about SBS.13 At UNMH 802 parents of newborns in theIntensive Care Nursery (ICN) or Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) received a shorteducational session about infant crying and SBS, a pamphlet, saw a video and gavewritten permission for a 7-month follow-up call to find out what they remembered. Thisstudy demonstrated that 99% parents found this information to be helpful and 17%stated that this was the first time they had heard that shaking a baby is dangerous.From January 2012 to September 2014 there were 39 incidences of diagnosed SBS inNew Mexican infants who were discharged from units outside of the ICN and NICU atUNMH. During the same time period there were zero infants who were discharged fromICN and NICU that were subsequently diagnosed with SBS (p 0.05).The most effective violence prevention strategies include parent and family-focusedprograms, early childhood education, school-based programs, therapeutic or counselinginterventions, and public policy. For example, a systematic review of early childhoodhome visitation programs found a 38.9% reduction in episodes of child maltreatment inintervention participants compared with control participants.GrandOpening SaleScrubs, lab coats, stethoscopes,shoes, medical supplies, & accessories–from all your favorite brands!Enter code OPEN to save 15% on all orders!January, February, March 2016Nursing Prevention Strategies for Child AbuseSome evidence-based interventions that nurses can implement to reduce child abuseinclude the Nurse-Family Partnership, Child-Parent Centers (CPC), Safe Environmentfor Every Kid and Parent-child Interaction Therapy.15 New Mexico has the Nurse-FamilyPartnership that is a home visitation program for evidence-based public policy with morethan 37 years of evidence of effectiveness. The CPC also has data of its comprehensiveeducational support of economically disadvantaged children and their parents whichfollowed 1,539 low-income minority students for 19 years and found that they outperformed, had higher school retention, lower felony convictions and were lessdepressed than the control group.16There are many programs that can help prevent child abuse and if every nurse inNew Mexico worked with families, health institutions, schools, day care centers andother community organizations to increase the awareness and provide education andneeded support for families, we could prevent this unnecessary child maltreatment.Understanding child abuse prevention and what to do when children are at risk is animportant part of nursing care. There is much information on child and family wellbeing and resources on protective factors including marriage, fatherhood and parenting.Nurses are the leaders for sharing a child abuse prevention message with communitiesand building community support.All nurses are welcome to use the tools, resources and information on the UNMHospital SBS website. This website has the script for education of SBS prevention, waysto cope with crying, babysitter information as well as the hand out and a link to thevideo“When Babies Cry” by the Shaken Baby Alliance.If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact the author and/orcontact the ment/definitions.html3. eillance.html4. data-book/5. eillance.html6. a#NM/2/08. data-book/9.Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, (CDC) National Center for InjuryPrevention and Control (2010).
