Description
Summary:To access publisher's full text version of this article click on the hyperlink below he main aim of this pilot study was to evaluate the benefit of the Better Sleep Better Well-being (BSBW) educational and training intervention programme regarding infants sleep problems for Community Health Care (CHC) nurses, on their perceptions on their family nursing practice skills and on their job demand, control and support. There were 6 CHC nurses who participated in the BSBW programme, and 26 nurses in the comparison group. The programme consisted of 4 sessions (8 hours per session) of lectures on the aetiology of infants sleep problems as well as on evidence-based and family relational practices and on 20 sessions of clinical cases, scenarios, discussions and reflections. The main finding indicated that the nurses in the intervention group reported significantly higher family nursing practices skills compared to the nurses in the comparison group. The findings are promising, since they offered additional resources to the CHC nurses, in their clinical practices.
