Brief summary

The overarching goal is to utilize a randomized control design to examine acceptability, feasibility, and adherence of mindfulness-based stress reduction plus prenatal sleep supplement (MBSR+PS) compared to treatment as usual among pregnant people with poor sleep quality (n=50).

Detailed description

Poor sleep quality is highly prevalent during pregnancy, with important implications for maternal and infant health and well-being. Despite this, there is limited research on interventions to improve prenatal sleep, and prior research did not target the specific factors contributing to poor sleep quality in this population. Specifically, pregnant people report that physical symptoms, including discomfort and pain, disturb their sleep. In non-pregnant populations, this pain-sleep relationship is bidirectional, and maladaptive psychological responses to pain further exacerbate poor sleep. Theory and empirical evidence indicate that mindfulness-based interventions may be effective for targeting these psychological responses. The overarching goal is to utilize a randomized control design to examine acceptability, feasibility, and adherence of mindfulness-based stress reduction plus prenatal sleep supplement (MBSR+PS) compared to treatment as usual among pregnant people with poor sleep quality (n=50). Participants will be recruited to complete study questionnaires at two timepoints during pregnancy. Participants randomized to MBSR+PS will receive usual care, will be asked to attend 8 weekly group MBSR sessions (in addition to the MBSR orientation session, 1:1 interview with the instructor, and daylong retreat) and 6-8 PS sessions individually or in small groups, and will complete daily sleep and home practice diaries. Participants randomized to treatment as usual will receive usual care. The specific aims are: 1. To determine acceptability of MBSR+PS. 2. To determine feasibility of MBSR+PS. 3. To determine adherence to MBSR+PS. 4. To explore evidence of change in psychological mediators. 5. To explore between-group differences in sleep. 6. To explore group differences in other critical clinical outcomes (e.g. depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, stress). There is strong conceptual basis to predict the potential benefit of this approach for pregnant people. Targeting psychological responses to poor sleep during pregnancy may have significant public health benefits.

Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Plus Prenatal Sleep Supplement (MBSR+PS)
The study intervention is standard mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), which will be delivered through 8 weekly 2.5-hour sessions via video conferencing to groups of 20-30 pregnant and non-pregnant people. MBSR also consists of a 2.5-hour orientation session, a 30-minute private interview with the instructor, and an all-day retreat, all conducted via video conferencing. The supplemental prenatal sleep content will be delivered through 6-8 30-minute sessions via video conferencing either individually or to small groups, and draws material from mindfulness-based therapy for insomnia, mindfulness-based childbirth and parenting program, and cognitive behavior therapy for prenatal insomnia.

Number of Participants With a Total Score Greater Than or Equal to 24 on the 8-item Client Satisfaction Questionnaire (CSQ-8) at 12 Weeks

The Client Satisfaction Questionnaire (CSQ-8) score ranges from 8 to 32, with high scores indicating greater satisfaction. The CSQ-8 score of participants randomized to MBSR+PS will be reported; participants randomized to TAU will not complete the CSQ-8 as the questions pertain to the MBSR+PS program.

Time frame: Post-intervention, an average of 12 weeks

Population: The overall number of participants analyzed (n=23) is one lower than reported in the participant flow module because one participant skipped the items for this measure but completed the majority of the other endpoint surveys.
