A usability study of an internet-delivered behavioural intervention tailored for children with residual insomnia symptoms after obstructive sleep apnea treatment.

ABSTRACT: Better Nights, Better Days (BNBD) is a 5-session online intervention designed to treat insomnia in 1-10-year-old children (Corkum et al. 2016). Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and insomnia commonly occur in children and, after surgical treatment for OSA, it is estimated that up to 50% of children may continue to suffer from insomnia symptoms. Access to insomnia interventions following OSA treatment is limited as there are few programs available, few trained practitioners to deliver these programs, and limited recognition that these problems exist. The current study involved the usability testing of an internet-based parent-directed session of BNBD tailored towards the needs of children (ages 4-10 years) who experience residual insomnia symptoms after treatment of OSA.
