DESCRIPTION: This longitudinal study utilizes a stress and coping framework to test an intervention to minimize the stress of sleep disruption and thereby improve the outcomes for new parents after the birth of their first infant. Data from the principal investigator's previous research and knowledge of sleep hygiene principles provide the basis for this proposal. The primary aim is to test the effects of an environmental-behavioral intervention on sleep, fatigue, well-being, and marital satisfaction. This intervention will be introduced prior to delivery to allow the couple to adapt to the equipment involved in the intervention. Hypotheses will be tested using repeated measures analysis of variance to determine mean group differences. It is expected that: 1) The experimental group of new mothers (n=60) and new fathers (n=60) will have significantly fewer awakenings, and higher sleep maintenance than control mothers (n=60) and fathers (n=60) at all 4 postpartum time points; 2) The experimental group of new mothers and new fathers will report significantly lower fatigue and higher well-being and marital satisfaction compared to controls at all four postpartum time points (2, 4, 8, and 12 weeks). A secondary aim is to describe the success by which new parents incorporate this intervention into their lifestyle and evaluate its feasibility for other first-time parents. Level of satisfaction with the intervention package will be ascertained for both experimental fathers and experimental mothers before and after mothers return to work. Results from this study will be useful in developing an educational intervention package for distribution to all adults preparing for parenthood.

描述：这项纵向研究利用压力和应对框架， 测试干预措施，以尽量减少睡眠中断的压力， 改善新父母在第一个婴儿出生后的结果。 主要研究者以前的研究数据和睡眠知识 卫生原则是这项建议的基础。主要目的是 测试环境行为干预对睡眠，疲劳， 幸福和婚姻满意度这一干预措施将被引入 在交付之前，允许夫妇适应涉及的设备， 干预将使用以下重复测量分析来检验假设： 方差，以确定平均组差异。预计：（1） 实验组的新母亲（n=60）和新父亲（n=60）将有 与对照组相比，觉醒次数明显减少，睡眠维持率更高 母亲（n=60）和父亲（n=60）在所有4个产后时间点; 2） 实验组的新妈妈和新爸爸将报告显着 较低的疲劳和较高的幸福感和婚姻满意度相比， 在所有四个产后时间点（2、4、8和12周）进行对照。一 第二个目的是描述新父母成功地将这一点纳入其中。 并评估其对其他人可行性 第一次当父母对干预方案的满意程度将是 在实验前和实验后， 妈妈们回到工作岗位后。这项研究的结果将有助于 制定一套教育干预措施，分发给所有成年人 准备当父母
