Night waking reduction in Canadian infants: A randomized clinical trial of a parent-based cognitive and behavioural intervention in community health units
EF 2008-09
Résumé
Infant behavioural sleep problems affect up to 50% of infants and contribute to adverse effects for infant development and parents' health. A significant proportion of infants do not grow out of sleep problems. Health care professionals often fail to recognize and treat infant behavioural sleep problems. Parents are exposed to conflicting advice which is frustrating and can undermine their parenting confidence. Extensive research has linked parents' cognitions and behaviours to the development and perpetuation of infant sleep problems. One-on-one approaches to treating behavioural sleep problems have empirical support; however, they often last for several weeks, are costly, and are not widely available to parents. A simple, inexpensive cognitive-behavioural intervention for groups of parents is available to be offered by public health nurses to improve infant sleep problems. Such interventions have not been offered in Canada. An effective, widely available sleep intervention can improve infants' and parents' well being.

Abstract
Infant behavioural sleep problems affect up to 50% of infants and contribute to adverse effects for infant development and parents' health. A significant proportion of infants do not grow out of sleep problems. Health care professionals often fail to recognize and treat infant behavioural sleep problems. Parents are exposed to conflicting advice which is frustrating and can undermine their parenting confidence. Extensive research has linked parents' cognitions and behaviours to the development and perpetuation of infant sleep problems. One-on-one approaches to treating behavioural sleep problems have empirical support; however, they often last for several weeks, are costly, and are not widely available to parents. A simple, inexpensive cognitive-behavioural intervention for groups of parents is available to be offered by public health nurses to improve infant sleep problems. Such interventions have not been offered in Canada. An effective, widely available sleep intervention can improve infants' and parents' well being.
