Abstract:
Objective To investigate the status and influencing factors of sleep in preterm infants at 1 month corrected age.Methods 130 preterm infants admitted to the NICU of 3 tertiary hospitals in Hubei Province were recruited as participants during May 2021 and March 2022.Sleep assessment of preterm infants was conducted at 1 month corrected age.Infants'sleep was assessed using the Brief Infant Sleep Questionnaire(BISQ).Multivariate linear regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors of sleep status(sleep latency,night awakenings,nocturnal sleep duration,daytime sleep duration,24 h sleep duration)of preterm infants.Results A total of 124 preterm infants completed the follow-up at 1 month corrected age.Multiple linear regression analysis showed that feeding patterns and sleep initiation patterns affected the sleep latency;gestational age,mechanical ventilation duration,maternal education level,and sleep initiation patterns were influencing factors of night awakenings;nocturnal sleep duration was influenced by mechanical ventilation duration and feeding patterns;daytime sleep duration and 24 h sleep duration were influenced by feeding patterns and maternal educational level.Conclusion The preterm infant sleep is influenced by gestational age,duration of mechanical ventilation,feeding patterns,maternal education level,and sleep initiation patterns.Neonatology staff should focus on the preterm infants discharged from NICU and develop targeted intervention plans based on the determined influencing factors to improve the sleep status of preterm infants.
