The authors developed a questionnaire in Italian for investigating sleep problems in infants and toddlers. Applying the questionnaire, they conducted an exploratory investigation into the sleep behaviour of a sample of normal children during their first three years of life in order to gather preliminary data regarding the ease of use of the instrument. The questionnaire and the results of its first application (in an Italian sample of 50 healthy children aged 10-39 months) are presented. The results provide interesting information on the sleep behaviour of the young children in our sample and prompt reflections in relation to the instrument employed. The sleep behaviour questionnaire emerged, above all, as easy to use and readily comprehensible to those participating in this research study. Furthermore, it provided parents with an opportunity to reflect upon their child and his/her rhythms (in particular sleep-wake rhythms) and upon their own ability to manage these rhythms. This instrument seems, on the basis of these preliminary data, to allow the tracing of a well-defined and complete picture of the sleep behaviour of the healthy child in the first years of life.
作者编制了一份意大利语问卷，用于调查婴幼儿的睡眠问题。他们运用该问卷，对一组正常儿童在其生命最初三年的睡眠行为进行了探索性调查，以便收集有关该工具易用性的初步数据。本文展示了该问卷及其首次应用的结果（针对50名年龄在10至39个月的意大利健康儿童样本）。研究结果为我们样本中幼儿的睡眠行为提供了有趣的信息，并引发了对所使用工具的思考。睡眠行为问卷首先表现出易于使用，且参与本研究的人员易于理解。此外，它为家长提供了一个机会，让他们反思自己的孩子及其节奏（尤其是睡眠 - 觉醒节奏），以及自己管理这些节奏的能力。基于这些初步数据，该工具似乎能够描绘出健康儿童在生命最初几年明确而完整的睡眠行为图景。
