Abstract
The current pilot study evaluates a cognitive behavioral (CBT) sleep intervention specifically developed for adolescents with ADHD – Sleep IntervEntion as Symptom Treatment for ADHD (SIESTA). Based on a qualitative and quantitative evaluation, the final aim is to fine-tune SIESTA and the assessment protocol to the target population. Eight adolescents (13–17 years old) with ADHD and sleep problems completed SIESTA. Separate focus groups with adolescents and parents were conducted to evaluate their experience with SIESTA and the assessment protocol. These were analyzed using thematic analysis. Additionally, individual reliable change indices were computed from pretest to posttest for sleep hygiene practices. Thematic analysis showed that adolescents and parents reported both positive aspects and points of improvement of SIESTA and the assessment protocol during the focus groups. Reliable change indices showed that all adolescents significantly improved on at least one of the subscales of the revised Adolescent Sleep Hygiene Scale. Preliminary qualitative findings indicate satisfaction with SIESTA and the assessment protocol, with some suggestions for further improvements, and quantitative findings indicate significant improvement in sleep hygiene. The next step is to test the effectiveness of SIESTA in a randomized controlled trial, based on the adaptations after this pilot study.
