1068 Parenting Stress Partially Mediates the Relationship Between Child and Parental Sleep Quality
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Introduction Sleep is crucial for parents of young children, especially given its influence on parental sensitivity. Yet, parents’ sleep has been shown to be influenced by child sleep disturbances, which remain common during toddlerhood and the preschool years. Furthermore, child sleep disturbances have been linked to parenting stress, which is in turn associated with parental sleep. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the potential mediating effect of parenting stress on the association between child sleep disturbances and parental sleep quality. Methods Participants included 68 parents (91.2% mothers, age M = 34.07, SD = 5.37) of children aged between 29 and 72 months. Child sleep quality, parental sleep quality and parenting stress were measured using the Children’s Sleep Habits Questionnaire, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and the short form of the Parenting Stress Index respectively. For all measures, higher scores represent more difficulties in the corresponding component (i.e., worse sleep and more stress). A multiple regression analysis was conducted to assess the mediating effect of parenting stress on the relationship between child and parent sleep quality, while controlling for parent age, education and ethnicity. Results The model with all predictors was significant F(5, 62)=7.76, p <.001 and explained 38.50% of the variance in parental sleep quality. Results suggest a significant indirect pathway from child sleep quality to parenting stress to parental sleep quality (b =.05, 95% CI [.005,.103]). Conclusion These results suggests that the relationship between child and parent sleep quality are partially explained by its effect on parenting stress. While child sleep quality remains the strongest predictor of parental sleep quality, parenting stress can partly explain how child sleep disturbances contribute to parental sleep quality by accentuating its influence. Therefore, parenting stress should be considered when adressing parent and child sleep. Support (if any)

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
