Summary
This summary is machine-generated.Modifying a sleep intervention for children with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) showed promise. Parents reported increased confidence and motivation, but time and stress were key barriers needing more support.
Area Of Science
- Pediatric Sleep Medicine
- Neurodevelopmental Disorders
- Behavioral Interventions
Background
- Insomnia is common in children with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs), impacting health and well-being.
- Limited access to evidence-based interventions due to cost and time barriers.
- Exploration of adapting the Better Nights, Better Days for typically developing children (BNBD-TD) for NDD populations.
Purpose Of The Study
- To examine qualitative data from parents of children with NDDs regarding their experience with the adapted BNBD-TD intervention.
- Identify barriers and facilitators to implementing the sleep intervention in this population.
Main Methods
- Qualitative study involving 15 Canadian parents of children (4-10 years) with NDDs.
- Parents implemented the BNBD-TD intervention.
- Semi-structured exit interviews to gather user experience data.
- Inductive thematic analysis of interview transcripts.
Main Results
- Key facilitators included enhanced parental self-efficacy, positive family sleep outcomes, improved sleep-related beliefs, and increased motivation.
- Significant barriers comprised time constraints, implementation challenges, and psychosocial factors like burnout and stress.
- Parental validation and perceived improvements in sleep problems were also noted.
Conclusions
- The adapted BNBD-TD intervention shows potential for children with NDDs.
- Addressing barriers like time and parental stress is crucial for successful implementation.
- Recommendations include enhanced program supports and planning assistance for parents to improve intervention success.
