This study aims to describe the sleep experience of parents staying overnight with their children in hospital.
Parents (n = 102) completed the Verran and Snyder-Halpern Sleep Scale following a night spent with their children in an Australian tertiary pediatric hospital.
Parents experienced sleep deprivation and poor quality of sleep, reporting a mean sleep period of 4.6 hr (SD = 2.1). Having only one child in the room was the only variable that significantly influenced the quality or amount of parental sleep.
Parental sleep deprivation needs to be acknowledged and accommodated when nurses and parents negotiate the care of children in hospital.
本研究旨在描述在医院陪伴孩子过夜的父母的睡眠体验。
102名父母在澳大利亚一家三级儿科医院陪伴孩子度过一夜后,完成了韦兰和斯奈德 - 哈尔彭睡眠量表。
父母经历了睡眠剥夺和睡眠质量差的情况,报告的平均睡眠时间为4.6小时(标准差 = 2.1)。房间里只有一个孩子是唯一显著影响父母睡眠质量或睡眠时间的变量。
当护士和父母协商医院中儿童的护理时,需要认识到并考虑到父母的睡眠剥夺问题。
