The purpose was to examine the effectiveness of the Contours Vibes™ Crib Mattress on infants' and maternal sleep quality and health.
Participants were 24 mothers and their infants. For Week 1 the infants slept on their current mattress (Baseline). For Week 2 they slept on the Vibrating Mattress without using the vibrating feature (VMC). For Week 3 they slept on the Vibrating Mattress using the vibrating feature (VMA). Sleep quality and health assessments were completed at Baseline and following VMA and VMC conditions.
Sleep quality and health outcomes improved significantly for VMA compared to Baseline and VMC. VMC had significant improvements in some sleep and health outcomes compared to Baseline. No adverse events were reported.
The mattress is a simple, noninvasive, and non-pharmacological intervention that improved infant and maternal sleep quality and health. Further research is need examining the longitudinal effects of the mattress.
本研究旨在探讨Contours Vibes™婴儿床床垫对婴儿及母亲睡眠质量和健康状况的有效性。
研究对象为24位母亲及其婴儿。第1周,婴儿睡在其当前使用的床垫上(基线期)。第2周,他们睡在振动床垫上,但不使用振动功能(VMC)。第3周,他们睡在使用振动功能的振动床垫上(VMA)。在基线期以及VMA和VMC条件之后完成睡眠质量和健康状况评估。
与基线期和VMC相比,VMA的睡眠质量和健康状况显著改善。与基线期相比,VMC在一些睡眠和健康状况方面有显著改善。未报告不良事件。
该床垫是一种简单、无创且非药物的干预措施,可改善婴儿和母亲的睡眠质量及健康状况。需要进一步研究该床垫的长期效果。
