Relationship Between Sleep Characteristics and Motor Development and Sensory Processing Skills in Late Premature Infants
In Brief
An observational study evaluating Brief Infant Sleep Questionnaire, Test of Sensory Function in Infants, and 1 other intervention for Late Preterm Infant and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 81 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Studies examining sleep and developmental parameters in infants have primarily focused on either term or extremely preterm infants. However, a review of the existing literature reveals a lack of research investigating sleep characteristics and their relationship with motor and sensory development in late preterm infants. Therefore, the present study aims to evaluate sleep characteristics and explore their association with motor development and sensory processing in late preterm infants, who are at higher risk for developmental delays compared to term infants.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
The Brief Infant Sleep Questionnaire will be used to assess sleep. Infant sleep problems are among the most common problems presented to healthcare professionals. The extended version of the "Brief Infant Sleep Questionnaire" is a questionnaire developed by Sadeh to assess sleep problems and their causes in early childhood. This questionnaire has been translated into Turkish and assessed sleep environment and sleep problems in infants. It consists of 33 items, is based on parent reports of infant or toddler sleep patterns and is used to validate the data. It is associated with daily records and parent reports of sleep. Its sensitivity in documenting developmental sleep trends is well established
It was planned to use the Test of Sensory Function in Infants to evaluate the sensory development of infants. Test of Sensory Function in Infants is frequently used to evaluate the sensory processing
It was planned to use the Peabody Motor Development Scale-2 to evaluate motor development. The Peabody Motor Development Scale-2 was designed to determine developmental delays in children aged 0-72 months.
