This study investigated the effects of a treatment program for severely sleep-disturbed children on their daytime interaction with their mothers.
Twenty-eight children with serious sleep problems and 30 matched controls, aged 12 to 36 months, were compared on behavior rating scales, on sleep patterns, and during play and feeding interactions with their mothers before and after an intervention program.
After treatment the sleep-disturbed children improved in their behavior, in their sleep patterns, and during feeding interactions with their mothers. However, the behavior of the children but not that of their mothers improved.
The findings of this study indicate that a brief behavioral intervention program focused on helping families manage children with sleep disturbances can generalize to daytime mother-child interactions. This suggests that a compromised relationship in early life may be modified by rather simple interventions since changes of one behavioral system may modify the total relationship of young children with those caring for them.
本研究调查了针对严重睡眠障碍儿童的治疗方案对其白天与母亲互动的影响。
选取28名患有严重睡眠问题的12至36个月大的儿童以及30名匹配的对照组儿童，在干预方案前后，对他们进行行为评定量表、睡眠模式以及与母亲玩耍和喂食互动方面的比较。
治疗后，睡眠障碍儿童在行为、睡眠模式以及与母亲的喂食互动方面均有改善。然而，改善的是儿童的行为，而非其母亲的行为。
本研究结果表明，一个专注于帮助家庭管理睡眠障碍儿童的简短行为干预方案可推广至白天的母子互动。这表明，早期生活中受损的关系可能通过相当简单的干预得到改善，因为一个行为系统的改变可能会改变幼儿与照顾他们的人的整体关系。
