Associations between parental relationship dissolution and child sleep: A systematic review - 04/08/23
Handling Editor: M Vitello
Abstract |
Parental relationship dissolution is considered one of the most common adverse childhood experiences. Although sleep is crucial for healthy development of children and very sensitive to environmental changes, it is poorly studied in the context of parental relationship dissolution. The aim of the current study was to systematically review and critically assess the existing literature on the associations between parental relationship dissolution and child sleep (0–18 years old; registered on PROSPERO (CRD42021272720)). PsycInfo, MEDLINE, Scopus, ProQuest Dissertations and Theses Global, Social Work abstracts, and Web of Science Core Collection were searched. Published empirical quantitative studies were included if they reported statistics regarding the association between parental relationship dissolution and any child sleep variable. Out of the 358 articles screened, 14 articles met inclusion criteria and reported on several sleep dimensions: sleep quality, dreams and nightmares, and sleep disorders (enuresis, night terrors, and bruxism). Out of the 14 articles, six were longitudinal studies and eight were cross-sectional studies. While most studies found that parental relationship dissolution was associated with some indices of poorer child sleep, studies were generally of low to moderate quality. Health professionals should assess child sleep in the context of a parental relationship dissolution.

Plan
| ☆ | The following electronic databases were used for the search: PsycInfo, MEDLINE, Scopus, ProQuest Dissertations and Theses Global, Social Work abstracts, and Web of Science Core Collection (limited to conference proceedings). No time limit was applied except for a five-year time limit on ProQuest Dissertations. The search for this database was also limited to “anywhere but full text”. The search on Scopus was limited to abstract, title and keywords to increase specificity. A total of 358 articles were identified through all the databases searched and one record was identified through other sources. Considering this relatively low number of articles, we consulted again with Dr. Poitras. However, even if many keywords (and synonyms) were added to make the search as sensitive as possible, new searches yielded the same articles that were already included, and no new article was identified. The final search (using the finalized search strategy) was conducted on July 8th, 2021. An updated search, identical to the first, was done on May 27th, 2022, to identify any articles published since our first search. This yielded three additional studies [32, 33, 34] that fit our inclusion criteria. |
