Introduction: Patients in intensive care units (ICUs) may transition into an end-of-life phase during treatment. Advance care planning (ACP) for this population has not been studied comprehensively, and support for its implementation is insufficient.
Objective: This study aims to clarify the ACP support needs among critical perioperative patients.
Aim: This scoping review aims to elucidate the effectiveness of advance care planning interventions for patients entering the intensive care unit and their families.
Design: Scoping review of relevant literature from January 2000-March 2020.
Methods: This review includes studies undertaken in intensive care units that focus on patients older than 18 years or their families.
Objective: To examine the effectiveness of a simple behavioral intervention with an educational booklet on the modification of parenting behaviors and the prevention of sleep disturbance in 4-month-old infants.
Design: A prospective cohort design with cluster sampling controls in a primary care setting.
Participants: A total of 136 mothers with 4-month-old infants who visited a local health check-up clinic and responded to the 3-month follow-up survey.

Previous studies indicated that infant's sleep problems are affected by particular parenting behaviour (hereinafter referred to as parenting). However, the relation between maternal sleep and infant's sleep has been unclear and there is only limited information on the interaction between parenting, infant's sleep, maternal sleep, and maternal health.
