ABSTRACT
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVES:
We aimed to assess the feasibility and acceptability of mobile ecological momentary assessment (mEMA) for youth with craniopharyngioma and evaluate daily associations among family functioning, affect, and sleep difficulties. DESIGN/RESEARCHAPPROACH:
Youth completed two mEMA diaries per day for one week. SAMPLE/PARTICIPANTS:
Thirty-nine youth who underwent surgery and proton radiotherapy (when indicated) for craniopharyngioma. METHODS/METHODOLOGICALAPPROACH:
Descriptive statistics and multi-level modeling were used to examine feasibility and acceptability of mEMA and daily associations among family functioning, affect, and sleep.FINDINGS:
Youth reported satisfaction and minimal burden from completing daily mEMA diaries. Poorer family functioning was not related to lower sleep efficiency. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION:
mEMA is an acceptable and feasible method for evaluating sleep and related variables in children and adolescents with craniopharyngioma. IMPLICATIONS FOR PSYCHOSOCIAL PROVIDERS OR POLICY Results highlight the utility of gathering mEMA data in youth at elevated risk for sleep difficulties as a function of their illness/treatment.Palavras-chave
