Sleep disruptions are common in pregnancy and can have significant maternal and infant health consequences. Management of sleep using a personal health monitoring (PHM) device may be effective in promoting behavior change and contribute to improved pregnancy-related sleep. The purpose of this pilot, randomized controlled trial was to determine the feasibility of recruitment (i.e., recruiting a 20% minority sample, most successful recruitment methods), retention, adherence, and data collection methods with a sample of pregnant women (n = 24) at 24 weeks gestation for a 12-week intervention using a PHM device. Of 24 enrolled participants, 20 (83%) were retained through the 12-week intervention and the follow-up at 2-4 weeks postpartum. The majority of participants had a four-year education and identified as White. Ninety-one percent (n = 11) wore the device for at least ten weeks. Pregnant women may be willing engage in sleep intervention research and wear a PHM to self-monitor sleep during pregnancy. Future research should consider recruitment methods tailored to recruit diverse populations of pregnant women.
睡眠障碍在妊娠中很常见，可能对母婴健康产生重大影响。使用个人健康监测 (PHM) 设备来管理睡眠可能有助于促进行为改变，并有助于改善与妊娠相关的睡眠。本研究旨在确定一项为期 12 周的 PHM 设备干预研究中招募（即招募 20%的少数族裔样本，最成功的招募方法）、保留、坚持和数据收集方法的可行性，研究对象为 24 周妊娠的孕妇（n=24）。在 24 名入组的参与者中，有 20 名（83%）在 12 周的干预和产后 2-4 周的随访中保留下来。大多数参与者的受教育程度为四年，并自认为是白人。91%（n=11）的参与者佩戴设备至少 10 周。孕妇可能愿意参与睡眠干预研究，并在怀孕期间佩戴 PHM 设备自我监测睡眠。未来的研究应考虑针对不同族裔孕妇的招募方法。
