Brief Summary

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Behavioral insomnia of childhood not only affects children's health but also has impacts on parental mental health and family functioning. Most studies on early childhood sleep problems rely on maternal report. However, both parents are affected by children's sleep problem. It is therefore essential for pediatric healthcare professional to understand both mothers' and fathers' perception and interpretation of their children's sleep and sleep problems in the context of family and culture to suggest culturally appropriate intervention according to the family's needs.
This study is designed to thematically analyze maternal and paternal perspectives of their child's sleep and sleep problems in early childhood.
Parents of children aged 6-36 months with and without sleep problems will be invited to participate into the study. Both parents of 10-15 children applying for sleep problems to Sleep Outpatient Clinic and both parents of 10-15 children followed up in Well Child Clinic without sleep problems will be included from October 2021 to June 2022. Semi-structured individual in depth interviews will be conducted with both mothers and fathers but in different sessions separately to explore parental views and perception of their child's sleep and sleep problems. The interviews are expected to last between 30-45 minutes and will be audio-recorded and transcribed for thematic analysis. Through these interviews the investigators will learn what kind of differences are present between the parents' perspectives of infants with and without sleep problems.
Sleep of all children will be evaluated by Turkish version of the expanded brief infant sleep questionnaire, actigraphy and sleep diary. Sociodemographic information will be collected. Parents in patient and control group will be assessed for the confounding factors by Patient Health Questionnaire-9, Generalized Anxiety Scale-7 test, Relationship Satisfaction Scale, Marital Life Satisfaction Scale and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index.
