Cosleeping,sleep disturbances,children's behavioral problems,and parenting self‐efficacy among Korean American families

The purpose of this study was to compare sleep disturbances of children and their mothers, children's behavioral problems, and parenting self‐efficacy between Korean American families who coslept and those who did not cosleep. Forty‐eight mothers of children between 3 and 8 years of age completed the following surveys: Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire, Pediatric Symptom Checklist, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Parenting Self‐Efficacy Questionnaire, and Acculturation Rating Scale for Mexican Americans II. Overall, 48% (n = 23) of families coslept, and families with younger children coslept more than families with older children (). When the families were divided into non‐cosleeping (i.e., rarely) and cosleeping (i.e., sometimes and usually) groups, 100% of the cosleeping children had sleep disturbances compared to 56% of the non‐cosleeping children (). For mothers, 28% (n = 7) of the non‐cosleeping mothers reported sleep disturbances, compared to 52% (n = 12) of the cosleeping mothers ). Children's behavioral problems were not different between the two groups (F = 1.78, p = NS). Cosleeping mothers reported lower parenting self‐efficacy than non‐cosleeping mothers (F = 6.26, p < .05). When providing care to Korean American families with young children, their cosleeping, sleep disturbances, and parenting self‐efficacy need to be addressed.

Behavioural sleep problems in children and adults with intellectual disabilities: An integrative literature review

Background

People with intellectual disabilities are more likely to experience sleep problems, which can affect quality of life, physical health, mental health and well-being.

Methods

An integrative literature review was conducted to investigate what is known about behavioural sleep disturbances in people with an intellectual disability. The search used the following databases: Scopus, PsycInfo and Cinahl, to find papers published since 2015.

Results

Within intellectual disability research, sleep appears as a common issue due to its high prevalence, negative relationships with an individual's physical and mental health, their quality of life, and impact of sleep problems on family or carers. The growing evidence base appears to support the use of behavioural, lifestyle and pharmacological interventions to improve sleep in people with an intellectual disability.

Conclusion

A wide array of literature provides evidence that people with intellectual disabilities are affected by and need support with their sleep.     

Assessing the impact of training on mental health nurses' therapeutic attitudes and knowledge about co-morbidity: a randomised controlled trial

BACKGROUND: Substance misuse can trigger or be causally associated with mental health problems. Therapeutic attitude is important in predicting effective engagement with people with alcohol and drug problems but health professionals' attitudes towards this client group are often negative. Education regarding substance misuse has often been neglected and nurses may lack knowledge to provide appropriate care. OBJECTIVES: To test the impact of training for staff who work with people who have co-existing mental health and substance use problems. DESIGN: A randomised controlled trial. SETTING: An NHS Primary Care Division in the West of Scotland. PARTICIPANTS: Forty-nine mental health nurses. METHODS: Intervention. A four-day training programme. Measurements: (a) therapeutic attitudes measured by the co-morbidity problems perceptions questionnaire; (b) knowledge of alcohol, drugs and co-morbidity measured by a structured questionnaire. RESULTS: Significant effects for group (F=30.42, p<0.001) were found in therapeutic attitude scores and also over time (F=10.66, p<0.001). A significant interaction was also found (p<0.001). Post-hoc testing revealed that the mean pre-training attitude score was significantly different from post-training (p=0.001; 95% CI 5.53, 25.38) and from six-months follow-up (p<0.001; 95% CI 11.26, 32.49) but that post-training and follow-up mean scores were not significantly different (p=0.358; 95% CI -4.71, 17.55). For knowledge, a significant group effect was found (F=10.32, p=0.002), and also a significant time effect (F=3.35, p=0.039) but no significant interaction effect was present (p=0.169). The post-hoc testing revealed that only a pre-training to six-month follow-up time effect was statistically significant (p=0.005; 95% CI 1.37, 9.29). CONCLUSIONS: The training programme was effective in improving the therapeutic attitudes of participants to working with clients who have co-existing mental health and substance use problems, both immediately after the training was delivered, and at six-months follow-up. It was also effective in improving participants' overall knowledge of alcohol, drugs and co-morbidity.     

CRITICAL COMPONENTS OF A SLEEP ASSESSMENT FOR CLINICAL PRACTICE SETTINGS

Disturbed sleep affects multiple aspects of an individual's life, including daytime activity, social interactions, mood, and quality of life. Individuals with mental health issues often experience disturbed sleep, and particular attention must be given to underlying lifestyle, family issues, and health problems that may perpetuate a sleep complaint. In addition to patients' medical conditions, clinicians should ask patients about their sleep-wake patterns and medication use, since these factors contribute to disturbed sleep and adverse mental health outcomes. This article provides advanced practice nurses with a brief sleep assessment guide for use in psychiatric practice with adults or children.

Entangled: A mixed method analysis of nurses with mental health problems who die by suicide

Nurses die by suicide at a higher rate than the general population. Previous studies have observed mental health problems, including substance use, as a prominent antecedent before death. The purpose of this study was to explore the characteristics of nurses who died by suicide documented in the death investigation narratives from the National Violent Death Reporting System from 2003 to 2017 using thematic analysis and natural language processing. One thousand three hundred and fifty-eight subjects met these inclusion criteria. Narratives from 601 subjects were thematically analyzed and 2544 individual narratives were analyzed using natural language processing. The analyses revealed five themes: “mental health treatment,” “poor general health and chronic pain,” “substance use,” “worsening mental health after bereavement,” and “repeating a family member's suicide.” Mental health/substance use, chronic illness, and chronic pain were seen to coexist in a complex, interdependent manner that appeared to be entangled in the nurses' narratives before death. These findings echo the need for reducing the stigmatization of mental health problems in nursing and removing barriers to help-seeking behaviors as early preventative interventions. Future research is needed to determine if a comprehensive healthcare integration approach to address these entangled problems would reduce suicide vulnerability in nurses and improve their quality of life.     

Predictors of parenting self‐agency among mothers receiving substance abuse or mental health treatment

Mothers' mental health or substance use disorders impact the behaviours of their children both short‐term and long‐term. There is increased concern for mothers with mental health or substance use disorders to effectively handle parenting challenges. Children of these mothers are at risk for emotional and behavioural adjustment problems as well as poor academic performances. Parenting self‐agency refers to parents' perceptions of their confidence and ability to overcome barriers and manage issues in parenting. Examining the factors that predict parenting self‐agency aids in understanding how nurses can assist mothers and families. The purpose of this study was to explore predictors of parenting self‐agency among mothers who are impacted by mental health or substance use disorders. A secondary analysis was conducted using the baseline assessment data of a randomized trial that examined the efficacy of a nurse‐led family‐strengthening home‐health intervention. The data were obtained from 172 mothers who were receiving outpatient treatment for substance use or other mental health disorders and had children under 18. A multivariate linear regression analysis was conducted to find predictors of parenting self‐agency among participating mothers. The authors found that increased children's externalizing problems and intensity of hassle predicted lower parenting self‐agency, and family cohesion predicted higher parenting self‐agency. The authors conclude that treatments need to address family as a whole to increase mothers' parenting self‐agency, thus assisting these mothers in raising their children in the best possible environment.

Preterm infant temperature circadian rhythm: possible effect of parental cosleeping

The purpose of this study was to describe the circadian rhythm of abdominal skin temperature and explore factors related to the timing of circadian rhythm acrophase. Thirty-four preterm infants (gestational age 26 to 33 weeks) were studied in the home environment at 44 to 46 weeks postconceptional age. Insulated abdominal skin was monitored continuously, and parents recorded sleep/wake activity over a 24-h period. Circadian rhythm was analyzed using cosinor analysis. Using MANCOVA, the effects of cosleeping, feeding method, night feeding, hospital stay, time home, and illness on acrophase were determined. Infants demonstrated evidence of developing circadian rhythm of temperature. Cosleeping and length of hospital stay were significantly related to acrophase. The mean acrophase for cosleeping infants was 07:44 (95% confidence interval = 05:12, 11:08), whereas that for non-cosleeping infants was 22.05 (95% confidence interval = 17:31, 01:42). Proximity with parents during nighttime hours may serve to entrain preterm infant circadian rhythm.

Dance intervention for adolescent girls: Effects on daytime tiredness,alertness and school satisfaction. A randomized controlled trial

IntroductionDaytime tiredness is a risk factor for poor health and well-being in the short and long term and is often associated with sleep problems, stress-related mental health complaints and decreased school functioning. This study investigates the effect of an 8 month dance intervention study on daytime tiredness, alertness, sleep duration, sleep quality and school satisfaction.MethodsRandomized controlled intervention study that included a total of 112 girls aged 13–18 years old with stress-related somatic and mental health problems. Dance intervention with focus on enjoyment were performed semiweekly for 8 months. Questionnaire-based measurements regarding self-reported daytime tiredness, alertness, school satisfaction, sleep duration and quality were evaluated at baseline and at 8-, 12- and 20- month follow-ups.ResultsDaytime tiredness decreased significantly in the dance group compared to control group at all follow-ups. Alertness increased significant within the dance group, but there were no significant difference compared to the controls. Significant improvements were found in all sleep quality items within the dance group, between groups only one significant result was found. No conclusive changes in sleep duration were observed. School satisfaction increased significantly in the dance intervention group; however, its significance compared to that of the control group faded after adjustment for differences between groups at baseline.ConclusionsThis study suggests that a dance intervention focusing on enjoyment can be effective in decreasing daytime tiredness. This study also adds to the growing body of evidence for the benefits of using nonpharmacological interventions to decrease stress-related problems among adolescents.
