Abstract

Objectives

This study, following Woodford et al. (2024), investigated the collateral child and parent effects of function-based behavioral sleep interventions for 21 children with rare genetic neurodevelopmental conditions (RGNC).

Methods

Measures completed by parents at pre- and post-intervention assessed change in children’s internalizing and externalizing symptoms, health-related quality of life, behavioral strengths and difficulties, as well as parental sleep, relationship quality, and mental health symptoms. Data were analysed using modified Brinley plots and effect size estimates.

Results

Results demonstrate modest collateral benefits across child emotional and behavioral difficulties and health-related quality of life, and maternal anxiety and stress symptoms and sleep quality. There was minimal improvement in parent ratings of child externalizing symptoms and physical health-related quality of life, parent relationship satisfaction and all paternal outcome measures. There was no statistically significant relationship between changes in collateral outcomes and sleep problem severity.

Conclusions

Findings underscore the diverse potential benefits of improved sleep and highlight the need for further prioritisation of sleep services and research in RGNC.

对患有罕见遗传性神经发育疾病的儿童进行行为睡眠干预对儿童和家长的附带影响

继Woodford等人（2024）之后，本研究对21名患有罕见遗传性神经发育疾病（RGNC）的儿童进行了基于功能的行为睡眠干预，研究其对儿童和父母的附带影响。方法由父母在干预前和干预后完成测量，评估儿童内化和外化症状、健康相关生活质量、行为优势和困难、父母睡眠、关系质量和心理健康症状的变化。使用改进的Brinley图和效应大小估计分析数据。结果表明，在儿童情绪和行为困难、与健康相关的生活质量、母亲焦虑和压力症状以及睡眠质量方面，有适度的附带益处。父母对儿童外化症状和身体健康相关生活质量、父母关系满意度和所有父亲结果测量的评分改善甚微。附带结果的变化与睡眠问题严重程度之间没有统计学上的显著关系。研究结果强调了改善睡眠的多种潜在益处，并强调了进一步优先考虑睡眠服务和RGNC研究的必要性。

期刊介绍： Advances in Neurodevelopmental Disorders publishes high-quality research in the broad area of neurodevelopmental disorders across the lifespan. Study participants may include individuals with:Intellectual and developmental disabilitiesGlobal developmental delayCommunication disordersLanguage disordersSpeech sound disordersChildhood-onset fluency disorders (e.g., stuttering)Social (e.g., pragmatic) communication disordersUnspecified communication disordersAutism spectrum disorder (ASD)Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), specified and unspecifiedSpecific learning disordersMotor disordersDevelopmental coordination disordersStereotypic movement disorderTic disorders, specified and unspecifiedOther neurodevelopmental disorders, specified and unspecifiedPapers may also include studies of participants with neurodegenerative disorders that lead to a decline in intellectual functioning, including Alzheimer’s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, vascular dementia, Lewy body dementia, frontotemporal dementia, corticobasal degeneration, Huntington’s disease, and progressive supranuclear palsy. The journal includes empirical, theoretical and review papers on a large variety of issues, populations, and domains, including but not limited to: diagnosis; incidence and prevalence; and educational, pharmacological, behavioral and cognitive behavioral, mindfulness, and psychosocial interventions across the life span. Animal models of basic research that inform the understanding and treatment of neurodevelopmental disorders are also welcomed. The journal is multidisciplinary and multi-theoretical, and encourages research from multiple specialties in the social sciences using quantitative and mixed-method research methodologies.
