Abstract: Few qualitative studies on parental perceptions of sleep interventions have been conducted, and little is known about parents' subjective well-being in this context. This study explored parental experiences of subjective well-being when implementing child sleep interventions. Ten parents who approached a sleep consultancy for assistance with their children's sleep problems participated in this qualitative study. Data was collected through in-depth interviews and results were analysed thematically. Three key themes were identified: (1) parents as experts, (2) sleep interventions as a team effort, and (3) improvements in well-being are multifaceted. Findings indicate that parental well-being during sleep interventions may be influenced by their knowledge and beliefs, and participants highlighted a need for additional support, including peer support. Parent's perceptions of subjective well-being in the context of behavioural sleep interventions may influence program adherence and completion. Parents may experience improvements in well-being after the intervention, attributable to enhanced routine, child well-being and improved sleep. The findings from this study may assist practitioners to develop more tailored interventions, subsequently minimizing parental distress during intervention implementation. Highlights: This qualitative study explored parental experiences of subjective well-being when implementing child sleep interventions. Parental experiences of subjective well-being during interventions may be influenced by parents' knowledge and beliefs. Parents desire more information and support when implementing sleep interventions, especially in community settings. Facets other than child sleep may influence perceived improvements in parental well-being after interventions. Implications for practice include developing sleep interventions with parents as active contributors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
