Provide a comprehensive review of the existing literature on the prevalence, causes, and consequences of sleep disruptions in parents of youth with chronic illnesses.
A comprehensive literature search of PsychInfo, MEDLINE, and CINAHL for articles related to sleep in parents of youth with chronic illnesses yielded 59 potential articles, with 19 meeting inclusion criteria.
Parents of children with eczema were the most commonly studied group. The prevalence of sleep disruptions was 15-86%. Potential causes of parent sleep disruptions included nighttime caregiving, monitoring of the child's illness, and stress related to the child's illness. Consequences included poor sleep quality, depression, and anxiety.
Parents of youth with chronic illnesses experience sleep disruptions, providing a potential mechanism to explain elevated rates of negative daytime functioning found in previous studies. To provide interventions and support for these parents, additional research is needed to address the limitations of the existing literature.
全面综述关于慢性病青少年父母睡眠中断的患病率、原因及后果的现有文献。
在PsychInfo、MEDLINE和CINAHL数据库中全面检索与慢性病青少年父母睡眠相关的文章,共得到59篇潜在文章,其中19篇符合纳入标准。
患有湿疹儿童的父母是研究最普遍的群体。睡眠中断的患病率为15%至86%。父母睡眠中断的潜在原因包括夜间照料、对孩子病情的监测以及与孩子病情相关的压力。后果包括睡眠质量差、抑郁和焦虑。
慢性病青少年的父母经历睡眠中断,这为解释先前研究中发现的白天负面功能发生率升高提供了一种潜在机制。为了给这些父母提供干预措施和支持,需要进一步研究以解决现有文献的局限性。
