To develop the Parenting Behavior Checklist to Promote Preschoolers' sleep (PCPP), quantify sleep-promoting parenting behaviors for children, and examine the scale's reliability and validity.
The PCPP was developed based on the recommendations of the ABCs of SLEEPING for children's sleep, which is strongly supported by research evidence. Its validity and reliability were evaluated using data from 140 participants. Structural validity was estimated using exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and internal consistency was evaluated by Cronbach's α. Hypothesis testing was evaluated by analyzing the correlations between each factor of the Japanese Sleep Questionnaire for Preschoolers (JSQ-P) and the PCPP.
Regarding structural validity, EFA was conducted because CFA showed a poor model fit. The PCPP comprised one factor and six items. The JSQ-P subfactors of insomnia or circadian rhythm sleep-wake disorders, undesirable morning symptoms and behaviors, and insufficient sleep were moderately negatively correlated with the PCPP; the subfactor of undesirable daytime behaviors related to sleep problems was weakly negatively correlated with the PCPP. Thus, the sleep-promoting parenting behaviors listed in the PCPP were associated with better sleep in children.
The PCPP showed sufficient reliability and validity. Future studies should use the scale to examine more effective interventions regarding sleep-promoting parental behaviors for children.
编制促进学龄前儿童睡眠的育儿行为清单（PCPP），量化促进儿童睡眠的育儿行为，并检验该量表的信效度。
PCPP是根据儿童睡眠的“SLEEPING ABC”建议编制的，该建议有充分的研究证据支持。使用140名参与者的数据对其效度和信度进行评估。通过探索性因子分析（EFA）和验证性因子分析（CFA）估计结构效度，用Cronbach's α评估内部一致性。通过分析日本学龄前儿童睡眠问卷（JSQ-P）各因子与PCPP之间的相关性来评估假设检验。
关于结构效度，由于CFA显示模型拟合不佳，故进行了EFA。PCPP包含一个因子和六个项目。JSQ-P中失眠或昼夜节律性睡眠-觉醒障碍、不良早晨症状和行为以及睡眠不足的子因子与PCPP呈中度负相关；与睡眠问题相关的不良白天行为子因子与PCPP呈弱负相关。因此，PCPP中列出的促进睡眠的育儿行为与儿童更好的睡眠相关。
PCPP显示出足够的信效度。未来的研究应使用该量表来检验关于促进儿童睡眠的父母行为的更有效干预措施。
