Childbirth is one of the challenging occasions in a woman's life. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the foot reflexology and back massage in improving the quality of sleep among the post caesarean mothers. A true experimental-repeated measures design with simple random sampling technique was used to study the control and experimental groups. The quality of sleep was assessed on 120 post caesarean mothers with 40 samples in each group of control, back massage and foot reflexology. Modified Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index Scale was used to assess the quality of sleep. After the pretest, back massage and foot reflexology was given for three consecutive days in the evening for the respective group. The results revealed that the day 2, day 3, and day 4 of back massage and foot reflexology quality of sleep were significantly different from the control day 2, day 3 and day 4 except on day 1. There is an improvement in the quality of sleep from day 1 to day 4. When comparing the pretest and the posttests, the quality of sleep of the control, back massage and foot reflexology day 3, day 4 (posttests) were highly significantly different from control, back massage and foot reflexology day 1 except on day 2. The improvement in the foot reflexology and back massage was better than the control group. The chi square of control and back massage were 13.132, 41.645 whereas chi square of foot reflexology was 101.234. Hence the foot reflexology was better in improving quality of sleep than back massage.

“…Poor sleep quality may lead to postpartum depression in new mothers (Okun, 2016, Okun, 2015, which in turn can lead to decreased infant bonding (Hairston et al, 2016) and family dysfunction (Piteo et al, 2013). A well-functioning relationship between the parent and the child is important for the infant's physical and psychological development (Jiang et al, 2014, Pawlby et al, 2008.…”

What about the parents? : Sleep quality, mood, saliva cortisol response and sense of coherence in parents with a child admitted to pediatric care

Parents experience many stressful situations when their child is ill and needs medical care, irrespective of the child’s age, diagnosis or the severity of the illness. Poor sleep quality and negative mood decrease the parents’ ability to sustain attention and focus, to care for their ill child, and to cope with the challenges they face. The overall aim of this thesis was to evaluate sleep, mood, cortisol response, and sense of coherence (SOC) in parents caring for children in need of medical care, and to identify factors that may influence parents’ sleep. This thesis includes four original studies; two of these are quantitative, prospective, descriptive and comparative studies including parents (n=82) accommodated in six pediatric wards with their ill child, using questionnaires and sleep logs to measure sleep, mood and SOC, and saliva cortisol to measure cortisol response. A follow-up was performed four weeks later at home, after hospital discharge. The other two studies are qualitative, inductive and explorative interview studies, including parents (n=12) staying overnight with their preterm and/or ill infant in three neonatal intensive care units, and parents (n=15) with a child receiving hospital-based home care in two pediatric outpatient clinics. The interviews were analyzed with a phenomenographic method. Being together with one’s family seems beneficial for sleep and may decrease stress. The ability to stay with the child, in the hospital or at home, was highly appreciated by the parents. When caring for a child with illness, parents’ sleep quality was sufficient in the hospital; however, sleep quality improved further (p<0.05) at home after discharge. The parents reported frequent nocturnal awakenings in the hospital caused by the child, medical treatment and hospital staff. Concern and anxiety about the child’s health, and uncertainty about the future were stressors affecting the parents’ sleep and mood negatively. The parents had lower (p=0.01) morning awakening cortisol levels in the pediatric ward compared to at home, and parents accommodated for more than one night had lower (p<0.05) post-awakening cortisol levels compared to parents staying their first night. The findings of this thesis conclude that being together as a family is important for the parents’ sleep. The ability to be accommodated in the hospital and gather the family around the child may have given the parents time for relaxation and recovery, that in turn may lead to a less stressful hospital stay. When it is beneficial for the child, the whole family should be included in the pediatric care. Moreover, pediatric nurses must acknowledge parents’ sleep, in hospital and at home. Medical treatment and care at night should be scheduled and sleep promoted for the parents in order to maintain health and well-being in the family.
