About 40% of children between 0 and 3 years have problems regarding sleep that can affect their development. The aim of this study was to investigate the contribution of the brief family strength-oriented therapeutic conversation intervention to early-childhood sleep health. Data were collected in 2020-2021 from 57 primary caregivers of young children with moderate or severe sleep difficulties. The intervention was delivered through (a) a one 60-min face-to-face family educational and support session and (b) one to six 20- to 40-min telephone sessions based on the families' needs. After the intervention, primary caregivers reported greater family support, more helpful beliefs about their infant's/child sleep patterns, better family quality of life (QOL), better self-regulation regarding learning to fall and staying asleep among infants, and longer sleep periods at night in infants. These findings may prevent infants sleep difficulties from increasing and becoming more serious.</p>","PeriodicalId":50193,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Family Nursing","volume":" ","pages":"45-57"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11843801/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143416080","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Family caregivers experienced various positive psychological changes, such as becoming compassionate/tolerant and resilient, stronger family bonds, change in perspective on life and hope, acquisition of knowledge and coping strategies, and leveraging their experiences and appreciation by others, following various struggles and negative changes. Some indicators of benefit finding and growth, such as positive personal traits, positive reappraisal, good relationships with patients, and social support, were also revealed.
