To describe sleep patterns and problems among institutionalized children.
In this cross-sectional study, the caregivers of 118 children, aged 4-12 years from six institutional care facilities completed the Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ).
The mean (±SD) of night bedtime was 21:05 ± 2:52, mean morning wake-up time was 06:58 ± 0:31, mean total sleep duration was 10 ± 1.1 h, and mean night-sleep duration was 9.5 ± 0.9 h. The percentage of children who took a daytime nap was 34.7% (n = 41) and the mean duration of nap was 0.5 ± 0.7 h. The most frequently reported sleep problems were bedtime resistance, daytime sleepiness and night awakening. Children with bedtime at or after 9 PM, night-sleep duration less than 10 h and daytime napping had more disturbed sleep.
Sleep problems are common among this sample of institutionalized children.
描述机构化儿童的睡眠模式和问题。
在这项横断面研究中,来自六家机构护理设施的 118 名 4-12 岁儿童的照顾者完成了儿童睡眠习惯问卷(CSHQ)。
夜间就寝时间的平均值(±SD)为 21:05 ± 2:52,早晨醒来时间的平均值为 06:58 ± 0:31,平均总睡眠时间为 10 ± 1.1 小时,夜间睡眠时间的平均值为 9.5 ± 0.9 小时。白天小睡的儿童百分比为 34.7%(n = 41),小睡的平均时间为 0.5 ± 0.7 小时。报告最多的睡眠问题是入睡困难、白天嗜睡和夜间觉醒。就寝时间为晚上 9 点或更晚、夜间睡眠时间少于 10 小时和白天小睡的儿童睡眠更不安。
睡眠问题在这个机构化儿童样本中很常见。
