Objective: to test the psychometric validity of an instrument to assess family effectiveness strategies and its reliability for use with Brazilian families. Method: this is a methodological study, content validation, construct, criterion, which used exploratory and Confirmatory Factor Analysis and reliability. The sample consisted of 100 families. Data were collected from October 2017 to March 2018. Results: the percentage of agreement among family health experts was 100%, with a perfect Content Validity Index and reliability (1.00). For the target audience (pre-test), 89.3% of agreement and Content Validity Index of 0.89 were obtained. Construct validity had a total explained variance of 73.8%. The concurrent criterion validity presented a correlation coefficient (ρ) of 0.75 (p = 0.004). Reliability had a Cronbach’s α coefficient of 0.82 for the full scale and a range of 0.62 to 0.82 in the instrument’s goals. Conclusion: the instrument proved to be valid and reliable to assess the effectiveness of the functioning of Brazilian families.

Study Objectives The current review aims to examine factors that influence pediatric inpatient sleep and determine the effectiveness of sleep promotion interventions among hospitalized children. Methods A systematic literature search was conducted across PubMed, PsycINFO, CINAHL, Cochrane Central, Web of Science, Embase, and Scopus databases. Studies included children with a mean age between 1 and 18 years old that either described factors affecting the sleep of children who are hospitalized on a non-intensive care unit or reported on sleep-related intervention outcomes. We conducted separate narrative reviews for each of the two aims and then synthesized findings from quantitative and qualitative studies across both aims. Results Forty-five articles were included for review. Despite most sleep disturbances being attributed to environmental disruptions (e.g. noise, staff interruptions), most interventions targeted the child level using relaxation techniques. Although the majority of interventions were small pilot studies, preliminary findings appear to positively impact sleep duration. The Pediatric Inpatient Sleep Model was proposed to illustrate connections between sleep disturbances, factors influencing sleep, and existing intervention components. Conclusions Replication studies are needed, including larger-scale sleep promotion interventions among hospitalized children. Given the identification of environmental factors as the main cause of night wakings, environmental modifications are crucial. Additional research examining contributors to intraindividual variability in disrupted sleep patterns during hospitalizations as well as the consequences of these disturbances is warranted.
