This study describes mothers' knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, and practices about their toddler's sleep health among an underresourced sample of mothers with diverse racial and ethnic identities.
This was a descriptive qualitative study with 16 mothers and their 12- to 36-month-old child. Mothers completed a semistructured, audio-recorded interview about their toddler's sleep health. Data were analyzed using inductive content analysis on the basis of established methods.
Mothers self-identified as 18.8% Black, 43.8% White, 12.5% multiracial, 25.0% other race, and 37.5% Hispanic. Of the mothers, 80.0% reported a past year household income of ≤ $40,000. A core construct, "Trying to do What's Best," emerged from the interview data, and this construct included three domains: Getting Good Sleep, Getting Thrown Off, and Rolling With It.
Findings support future strengths-based and multilevel sleep health-promoting interventions.
本研究描述了资源匮乏的不同种族和民族身份的母亲对其幼儿睡眠健康的知识、态度、信念和实践。
这是一项描述性的定性研究,共有 16 位母亲及其 12 至 36 个月大的孩子参加。母亲们完成了关于幼儿睡眠健康的半结构化、录音采访。根据既定方法,采用归纳内容分析法对数据进行分析。
母亲们自我认同为黑人占 18.8%,白人占 43.8%,多种族占 12.5%,其他种族占 25.0%,西班牙裔占 37.5%。其中,80.0%的母亲报告称,过去一年的家庭收入≤40000 美元。一个核心结构,“试图做最好的事情”,从访谈数据中浮现出来,这个结构包括三个领域:获得良好的睡眠、被打乱和顺其自然。
研究结果支持未来以优势为基础和多层次的促进睡眠健康的干预措施。
