ObjectiveThis research aimed to identify factors influencing infant sleep quality including mother-infant bonding, infant stress, parity, and maternal depression and anxiety, and to analyze possible associations between these variables.MethodA cross-sectional design was adopted to analyze data from mothers and their infants (0–36 months of age) using consecutive sampling. Mothers completed two of several questionnaires in the Indonesian language, including the Mother-Infant Bonding Scale, the Brief Infant Sleep Questionnaire, the Symptoms Checklist-90, and an infant stress questionnaire that was specifically designed for this study. The chi-squared test for bivariate analysis and logistic regression were applied to obtain odds ratios for the predictor variables using SPSS version 21 (IBM Corporation, Armonk, NY, USA) for Mac (Apple Inc, Cupertino, CA, USA).ResultsFindings indicated that the proportion of infants with problematic sleep quality was 33.30%. Three predictors were significantly associated with problematic infant sleep quality: mother-infant bonding; infant stress; and parity. However, logistic regression analysis demonstrated that only mother-infant bonding (odds ratio [OR] 1.66 [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.15–6.12]) and infant stress (OR 1.29 [95% CI 1.07–2.68]) predicted a 38.7% risk for problematic infant sleep quality.ConclusionResults of the present study indicated that early detection of mother-infant bonding levels and infant stress is very important. It may be valuable to screen sleep habits for better prognosis among infants because good sleep quality is crucial for optimal growth and development. Results of this study will raise awareness of the importance of mother-infant bonding, infant stress, and problematic infant sleep quality. |
