“…Nine studies were finally included: 4 on drugs, 14,19-21 4 on behavioral treatments (1 also with a booklet component), 8,10,15,22 and 1 on a general nondirective educational approach (delivered by booklet). 23 It would have been inappropriate to perform a meta-analysis because of the heterogeneity of the subjects, treatments, and outcome measures.…”

ⅷ Objective To assess the efficacy of treatment of settling problems and night waking in young children. ⅷ Design A systematic review of randomized controlled trials of interventions. ⅷ Setting Electronic bibliographic databases and references on identified papers, hand searches, and personal contact with specialists. ⅷ Subjects Children aged 5 years or younger who had established settling problems or night waking. ⅷ Interventions Interventions had to be described and a placebo, waiting list, or another intervention needed to have been used as a comparison. Interventions comprised drug trials or nondrug trials. ⅷ Main outcome measures Number of wakes at night, time to settle, or number of nights in which these problems occurred. ⅷ Results Drugs seemed to be effective in treating night waking in the short term, but long-term efficacy was questionable. In contrast, specific behavioral interventions showed both short-term efficacy and possible longer term effects for dealing with settling problems and night waking. ⅷ Conclusions Given the prevalence and persistence of childhood sleep problems and the effects they can have on children and families, treatments that offer long-lasting benefits are more appealing, and these are likely to be behavioral interventions.

“…Die Belastung der Eltern ist unterdessen ebenfalls gravierend. So berichten hauptsächlich Mütter schlafgestör-ter Kinder im Kindergarten-und Schulalter über einen ebenfalls beeinträchtigten Schlaf, größere Tagesmüdigkeit und hö-heren Stress sowie ausgeprägtere depressive Stimmung als Mütter, deren Kinder ein gesundes Schlafverhalten aufweisen [2,6,14,16,19,20,32].…”

“…Das Maximum auf der 5-stufigen Skala ist 4. Diese hohe Beeinträchtigung der Eltern, typischerweise insbesondere der Mütter, lässt sich in Übereinstimmung mit bisherigen Studien feststellen [2,6,14,16,19,20,32]. Berücksichtigt man die gegenwärtige Literatur, so ist davon auszugehen, dass die hohe elterliche Belastung durch die Schlafstörung des Kindes aufrechterhalten wird, sofern keine adäquate Behandlung erfolgt [14].…”

“…Several reports have provided strong evidence that education using behavioral booklets is an effective strategy for reducing ITSD incidence. 3,13,15,16 There have been several studies on the effects of education as an early intervention strategy during the neonatal 15 and pregnancy 17,18 stages of parenthood. In many of these studies, outcome measures related to infant sleep and maternal distress have been evaluated.…”
