Association of Parent-Adolescent Involvement and Sleep Problems among Youth Presenting with Clinical Sleep Concerns

Key Points

To explore the relationship between parent-adolescent involvement and sleep problems in youth with clinical sleep issues.
Assess youth presenting with sleep disturbances
Evaluate levels of caregiver communication and parental monitoring
Analyze associations between these factors and sleep outcomes
Open communication with caregivers correlates with improved sleep outcomes
Higher parental monitoring is linked to worsening specific sleep aspects
Findings suggest the importance of family dynamics in clinical interventions for sleep issues

Abstract

Findings indicate that in youth presenting with sleep disturbances, more open communication with caregivers as reported by adolescents is associated with better sleep outcomes, while parental monitoring showed inverse associations with specific aspects of sleep. As these findings emerged in a sample experiencing clinical sleep problems, family communication and monitoring should continue to be explored in clinical samples to determine their relevance in clinical interventions.
