Evaluation of Inpatient Sleep and Activity Following Childbirth

Completed
Conditions
Sleep
Interventions
Procedure: planned or unplanned Cesarean, operative, or non operative delivery
Registration Number
NCT05065203
Lead Sponsor
Stanford University
Brief Summary

Sleep is critical to mental and physical health following childbirth. However, patients who are hospitalized for labor and delivery may be admitted for days with significant impacts on sleep levels. Little is known about sleep and activity levels in inpatients during nighttime and daytime following childbirth and how this may affect their mental and physical health and wellbeing. If abnormalities are identified, targeted interventions may be possible to optimize recovery following delivery.

NameTimeMethod
Association between inpatient actigraphy data and patient demographic, medical, obstetric, psychiatric, neonatal and anesthetic factorsDuring inpatient stay and outpatient follow up (up to 7 days)

Participants will wear an acitgraphy watch during their inpatient stay to measure physical activity and sleep.

Association between actigraphy data with inpatient and outpatient postpartum Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs)Day 1-7, 6 and 12 weeks

Measurement of postpartum actigraphy data to associate with patient reported outcome measures (PROM) (ObsQoR-10, Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Score, WHO-QOL-BREF and Bergen Insomnia Scale Score) given by face to face then remote interview

Association between outpatient sleep data with patient demographic, medical, obstetric, psychiatric, neonatal and anesthetic factors6 and 12 weeks

Participants will be interviewed at 6 and 12 weeks with PROM questions and sleep diaries to assess for association with demographic, medical obstetric, psychiatric neonatal and anaesthetic factors.

Association between objective (artigraphy) and subjective sleep assessment using diaries and PROMsDay 1-7, 6 and 12 weeks

Participants will wear an acitgraphy watch during their inpatient stay to measure physical activity and sleep. PROM survey data during inpatient day 1-7 and outpatient 6- 12 week interview.

Determine population norms of objective and subjective sleep measures in the postpartum population.Day 1-7, 6 and 12 weeks

Participants will wear an acitgraphy watch during their inpatient stay to measure physical activity and sleep. PROM survey data during inpatient day 1-7 and outpatient 6 and 12 week interview.

Association between inpatient sleep and physical activity, PROMs and peripartum course with longer term outpatient sleep measuresDay 1-7, 6 and 12 weeks
