目的：这项定性研究的目的是向20位母亲了解她们在怀孕期间以及成为新妈妈后几个月的睡眠经历。这项研究是一项更大规模的随机临床试验的一部分，该试验旨在改善新妈妈的睡眠和健康。研究方法：进行了半结构化的录音采访，其中要求妇女描述整个怀孕和产后早期的睡眠体验的连续性，并描述他们发现有助于与婴儿建立睡眠模式的策略。采用叙事分析法解读其故事，数据采用Atlas.ti定性分析软件进行处理。结果和结论：睡眠障碍对所有的母亲来说都很常见，当她们适应了母亲的角色时，睡眠就成了一种协商行为。所有的母亲都对她们所经历的干扰和疲惫程度感到惊讶。策略包括招募伙伴来促进午睡，培养“睡眠意识”和同床共枕。美世的成为母亲的阶段被用来描述将睡眠变化融入她们生活的过程。
Objective: The purpose of this qualitative study was to learn from 20 mothers about their experience of sleep during pregnancy and the immediate months of becoming a new mother. The study was part of a larger randomized clinical trial on an intervention to improve sleep and well-being among new mothers. Methods: Semistructured, audiotaped interviews were conducted in which women were asked to describe the continuum of the sleep experience across the pregnancy and early postpartum and to describe strategies they found helpful as they established sleep patterns with their infant. Narrative analysis was used to interpret their stories, and data were managed with Atlas.ti qualitative software. Results and Conclusions: Sleep disturbances were common to all of the mothers, and sleep became a negotiated behavior as they adjusted to the mothering role. All of the mothers were surprised at the level of disturbance and exhaustion they experienced. Strategies included enlistment of partners to facilitate naps, development of a "sleep consciousness," and bed-sharing. Mercer's stages of becoming a mother are used to describe the process of incorporating sleep changes into their lives.
