这项研究调查了有年幼孩子的家庭中的独睡和共眠安排。数据来自两个独立样本的问卷调查，一个是学龄前儿童的母亲(N=100)，一个是父亲(N=38)。家庭睡眠安排的类型包括从小睡在自己房间里的儿童，从婴儿时期就与父母同床的儿童，以及在一段时间的单独睡眠后重新与人同床的儿童。父母描述了家庭睡眠安排的原因，对睡眠安排的态度，对睡眠安排的满意度，以及对儿童睡眠相关问题的看法。调查问题还涉及婚姻关系、育儿和幸福感。结果表明，母亲和父亲支持他们家庭睡眠安排的相似原因，尽管原因因睡眠安排的类型而不同。对于态度与实际睡眠习惯一致的父母来说，他们更有可能对睡眠安排感到满意。在孩子的睡眠行为方面遇到更多问题的父母也报告了在婚姻和育儿方面的不和谐。因此，研究发现，对母亲和父亲来说，“夜间育儿”都与家庭生活的其他重要领域有关。版权所有(C)2007 John Wiley&Sons，Ltd.
This study examined solitary sleeping and co-sleeping arrangements in families with a young child. Data were obtained from questionnaires completed by two independent samples, one of mothers (N=100) and one of fathers (N=38) of preschool-aged children. Types of family sleep arrangements included children who slept in their own room from infancy, children who shared the parental bed from infancy, and children who returned to bedsharing following a period of solitary sleeping. Mothers and fathers described reasons for family sleep arrangements, attitudes towards sleep arrangements, satisfaction - with sleep arrangements, and perceptions of children's sleep-related problems. Survey questions also addressed marital relations, parenting, and well-being. Results indicated that mothers and fathers endorsed similar reasons for their families' sleep arrangements, although reasons differed by the type of sleep arrangement. Satisfaction with sleep arrangements was more likely for mothers and fathers whose attitudes coincided with their actual sleep practices. Parents who experienced more problems with their child's sleep behaviours also reported disharmony in marital and parenting domains. Thus, 'nighttime parenting' was found to be associated with other important domains of family life for both mothers and fathers. Copyright (c) 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
