“…In line with this, some parents in our studies reported discontinuing with Mini-KiSS Online because of success after the first few treatment sessions [75,76]. However, similar to factors influencing dropout, a multicomponent model affecting adherence seems to be more appropriate [71,72]. For example, Christensen, Griffiths and Farrer [72] identified several predictors for adherence in their review of Internet interventions for depression and anxiety in adults: lower baseline symptomatology, age of the patient, poorer knowledge of psychological treatment, experience with a computer and living with a partner.…”

“…Different Internetintervention studies for several health problems and age groups yielded dropout rates between 2% and 83% in different reviews [36,71,72]. Our mean dropout rate was quite low (10.1%) compared to dropout rates of Internet-based treatment of insomnia for adults (24%) [54] or parents of young children (2,9%) [58].…”

“…Furthermore, a meta-analysis demonstrates that higher response rates in Web studies are associated with higher number of (personalized) contacts [73]. As Melville et al [71] concluded in their review article, clients receiving more immediate therapist contact may be more likely to feel involved and connected to their therapist, and that might decrease the risk for terminating treatment.…”

Journal of Psychiatry AbstractStudy background: Mild to severe sleep problems are reported in 3% to 56% of young children. Behaviourbased treatments are highly effective in improving children´s sleep. The purpose of this work was to examine the efficacy of an Internet-based intervention for young children´s sleep disturbances (Mini-KiSS Online) and to assess the effect of telephone support for parents. Methods:Two intervention conditions (written information with or without additional weekly telephone support) were compared to a waiting-list control condition. N=199 parents with their children (aged 6-63 months) were randomly assigned to one of the study conditions. The treatment consisted of six written information modules based on a cognitive-behavioural approach. One of the treatment groups had additional weekly telephone support. Data of sleep diary, parental behaviour, CBCL 1.5-5 (pre, post, 3-month follow-up) and treatment evaluation were collected.Results: Acceptance of Mini-KiSS Online was high. Children in both treatment conditions showed significant increase in sleep efficacy and reductions in sleep onset latency, duration of night waking, or subjective global ratings while there was no or less change in the control condition. Parents of both treatment conditions reduced their parental presence and physical contact to the child. A benefit of personal assistance was found for treatment evaluation and dropout rates. Conclusion:Mini-KiSS Online is an effective and highly accepted internet-based intervention to reduce sleep problems in young children. Personal telephone assistance counted for higher satisfaction and lower dropouts but not for further improvement of the sleep behaviour of the child.

“…RCTs conducted with older infants [78][79][80][81] were focused on providing parents with information regarding negative sleep associations and the importance of self-soothing ability and strategies to decrease night feeding and waking, including establishing a bedtime routine, controlled crying and gradual removal of parental presence at sleep onset. No advice related to improving parents' sleep was offered.…”

Abstract:In this review, we describe postpartum sleep as characterized by marked fragmentation, resulting in nearuniversal fatigue during the initial postpartum period. This sleep disturbance and fatigue are major contributing factors to the onset of affect and mood disturbance, which in turn is strongly associated with an increase in negative infant-parent interactions and adverse infant emotional and cognitive outcomes. Although less-frequently studied, postpartum fathers also experience sleep disturbance and sleepiness associated impairments that impact their families. Despite this, postpartum sleep should be considered a normative developmental period, and the need for intervention can be seen as a byproduct of social and economic expectations that new parents return to the workforce soon after childbirth. Heretofore, there is little evidence to support the efficacy of interventions to improve parent sleep, though some suggest that socially disadvantaged families may benefit most from advice regarding infant and maternal sleep. Also reviewed here is the evidence for a high proportion of children reported to co-sleep with their parents -despite the professional recommendations in the United States -and the need for family education regarding safe co-sleeping. Finally, one obstacle to a woman's decision to breastfeed may be concern about how this will affect her sleep; the evidence for a lack of impact of infant breast feeding on maternal sleep is evident.

IMPORTANCE Poor sleep during early childhood is associated with adverse outcomes, including obesity, cognitive impairment, and mental and behavioral disorders. OBJECTIVE To assess the efficacy of an educational intervention in the promotion of nighttime sleep duration. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS This single-blind, intent-to-treat randomized clinical trial included participants in Pelotas, Brazil, aged 3 months who were followed up until age 24 months. Eligibility criteria included healthy infants aged approximately 3 months who slept less than 15 hours per 24 hours. Infants were randomized to the intervention group or control group. INTERVENTIONS Information on sleep characteristics, improvements in the environment, establishment of a nighttime sleep routine, and waiting before attending nocturnal awakenings was delivered to mothers in the intervention group by trained home-visitors at baseline. The intervention group received a telephone call on the first and second day after the intervention and a home visit on the third day after the intervention. The intervention's content was reinforced at health care visits for ages 6 months and 12 months. Mothers allocated to the control group were counseled on the benefits of breastfeeding for the mother's and child's health and given written material with content on breastfeeding. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Nighttime sleep duration was measured by interview and actigraphy at baseline and ages 6, 12, and 24 months and diaries at baseline and age 6 months. At ages 3 and 6 months, nighttime sleep self-regulation was calculated by subtracting nighttime sleep duration recorded by actigraphy from nighttime sleep duration recorded in the diaries and at ages 12 and 24 months by subtracting nighttime sleep duration recorded by actigraphy from nighttime sleep duration obtained by interview. RESULTS Among 1812 mother-infant dyads invited to participate, 798 met the inclusion criteria and 586 agreed to participate. The intervention group included 298 infants (154 [52.9%] boys), and the control group included 288 infants (164 [58.2%] boys). At age 6 months, mean (SD) nighttime sleep duration recorded in diaries was 9.80 (1.85) hours in the intervention group and 9.49 (2.07) hours in the control group, a difference of 19 minutes longer for the intervention group. At age 12 months, mean (SD) nighttime sleep duration based on the Brief Infant Sleep Questionnaire was 8.43 (1.35) hours in the intervention group and 8.52 (1.35) hours in the control group, a difference of 5 minutes shorter for the intervention group. At age 24 months, compared with information from the interview, actigraphy records showed that children in the intervention group stayed awake at night without signalizing for a mean (SD) of 0.52 (2.52) hours, whereas children in the control group stayed awake (continued) Key Points Question Can an educational intervention improve infants' nighttime sleep duration and sleep habits? Results In this randomized clinical trial with 586 children assessed at ages 3 (baseline),...

A Nightly Bedtime Routine: Impact on Sleep in Young Children and Maternal Mood

Abstract: These results suggest that instituting a consistent nightly bedtime routine, in and of itself, is beneficial in improving multiple aspects of infant and toddler sleep, especially wakefulness after sleep onset and sleep continuity, as well as maternal mood.
