Introduction:
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is one of the most prevalent neurodevelopmental illnesses affecting children. Sleep is essential for overall health, happiness, and daily functioning; thus it should be a top priority for people with ADHD. We aimed to examine the impact of parental sleep hygiene education to improve sleep and behavioral outcomes in children with ADHD.
Methods:
This study used quasi experimental design with a pretest posttest study and control groups. The study population included 100 children. Data was collected using three instruments including: a structured interview questionnaire (socio-demographic characteristics of children's & caregivers and sleep patterns), the children's sleep habits questionnaire, and the strengths and difficulties questionnaire (SDQ).
Results:
There was a significant improvement of children's sleep patterns, and sleep habits between control and experimental groups on post intervention. Additionally, ADHD-related behaviors measured by the SDQ improved significantly in the experimental group, with increased strengths and reduced behavioral difficulties.
Conclusion:
Study demonstrated that parent sleep hygiene education significantly improved sleep patterns, sleep habits and ADHD-related behaviors through increased behavioral strengths and reductions in behavioral difficulties.
