2RESEARCH LITERACY FOR HEALTH PRACTICEIntroduction: Nocturnal awakening and frequent crying episode in young children gives majorchallenges to parents while caring for their children. Bed time problem and night awakeningaffect about 20 to 30% of infants and toddlers. This problem initiating in infancy often persist inschool age too. This is found to have deleterious effect on children such as poor cognitivedevelopment, mood problems, aggressive behavior and attention deficit. All this consequentlyhas an impact on health and quality of life of children too. In case of parents, crying episodes andnocturnal awakening in children increases their distress level due to fatigue and lack of sleep(Honaker and Meltzer 2014) Hence, there is a need to find strategies or intervention to managebedtime tantrums of children. The research by Rickert and Johnson (1988) identified theintervention of scheduled awakening as an effective strategy to reduce and gradually eliminatethe crying episodes and night awakening in young children.

Thescheduled awakening intervention is the process of waking and consoling a child 15 to 30 minutebefore nocturnal awakening to assist in sleep consolidation. The maturation in sleep pattern wasanalysed by means including a no treatment group without the intervention too. This reportcritically analysed the research study by comparing it with recent literature on the same issue toassess whether such intervention should be funded or not. Hence, the decision for funding theintervention depends on its critical appraisal by means of relevant CASP tool Search strategy: To analyse the effectiveness of scheduled awakening in reducing nocturnal awakening inyoung children, there is a need to review recent research literatures related to the topic to find out

3RESEARCH LITERACY FOR HEALTH PRACTICEwhether same strategies or other interventions has been proposed for addressing the researchproblem. The main strategy for searching the research article is to include only those articleswhich have been published between 2007 and 2017. The other inclusion criteria for articlesincludes they must be peer reviewed journal articles written in English and they must cover thestrategies to manage nocturnal awakening in young children. The relevant research articles wereretrieved from the databases like CINAHL, PubMed, Cochrane library and the search enginecalled Google Scholar. The key search term used in searching the articles included ‘nocturnalawakening and crying episodes in young children, ‘intervention for nocturnal awakening ininfants’ and strategies to address nocturnal awakening issues in children’. The inclusion criteriaand specific search term can help to review current studies and evaluate current interventionsproposed for the same issue.
