P079 A new lens on preschool sleep: Using wearable cameras to capture pre-bedtime activities

Abstract Introduction While bedtime routines are often recommended to address behavioural sleep problems in young children, these recommendations based on parental subjective assessment of behaviours which may not be accurate. The aim this study was establish the feasibility using wearable cameras objectively measure and pre-bedtime screen use preschool-aged children. Methods Sixteen children aged 3-4 years wore a GoPro video camera for two hours prior three consecutive evenings. Subsequent parameters were monitored seven nights by actigraphy. Standardised questionnaires diary provided traditional measures child behaviours. Feasibility determined adherence protocol ability develop reliable coding scheme from data. Acceptability through feedback exit interviews. Results Participant families found acceptable, with majority parents agreeing easy (94%) keep their (81%). Parents felt that wearing did change how they parented (88%), or child’s A incorporating self-care activities, nutrition, reading, physical contact (time, device type, media content) successfully developed interrater reliability established independent coders (kappa >0.8). Conclusions Wearable provide feasible acceptable method This appears is first activities age-group.
