目的：在一个低收入家庭的样本中，调查亲子互动的质量是否在育儿与儿童睡眠之间起到中介作用，以及这种关联是否受到父母焦虑的调节。父母填写了调查问卷，评估父母的教养、父母的焦虑、孩子的睡眠时间和睡眠问题。结果：学龄前儿童的睡眠时间与父亲因素无关，而与母亲因素有关。具体地说，配对通过对母子互动质量的影响来预测儿童的睡眠时间，但只适用于母亲临床焦虑的二元体。学龄前儿童的睡眠问题与父母的教养方式、母子、父子互动的质量、母亲的焦虑而不是父亲的焦虑有关。结论：父母在儿童睡眠中起着互补作用。同样，研究发现不同的途径和相互作用与睡眠持续时间和问题有关，强调了家庭因素和睡眠过程之间联系的复杂性。总体而言，这项研究有助于在低收入家庭的样本中澄清父母特征和学龄前儿童睡眠之间的一些联系。(C)2019爱思唯尔B.V.保留所有权利。
Objective: To investigate in a sample of low-income families whether the quality of parent-child interactions mediated the association between coparenting and child sleep, and if this association was moderated by parents' anxiety.Method: In sum, 81 two-parent families with a preschool child (aged 3 to 5 years) and receiving social security benefits were recruited. Mothers and fathers completed questionnaires assessing coparenting, parental anxiety, and child sleep duration and sleep problems. Quality of mother-child and father-child interactions was evaluated by independent observers from videotaped free play sequences in the home environment.Results: Results showed that preschoolers' sleep duration was unrelated to paternal factors but associated with maternal factors. Specifically, coparenting predicted children's sleep duration through its effect on the quality of mother-child interactions, but only for dyads in which mothers were clinically anxious. Preschoolers' sleep problems were related to coparenting, quality of mother-child and father-child interactions, and mothers' but not fathers' anxiety.Conclusion: The current results suggest that both parents play a complementary role in children's sleep. Likewise, different pathways and interactions were found in relation to sleep duration and problems, emphasizing the complexity of the links between family factors and sleep processes. Overall, this study helps to clarify some of the associations between parental characteristics and preschoolers' sleep within a sample of low-income families. (C) 2019 Elsevier B.V.
