The objective of this study was to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of a school-based sleep education program aimed at improving the sleep and academic performance of school-age children.
Using a community-based participatory research approach, we created a school-based sleep education program, "Sleep for Success"™ (SFS), composed of four distinct modules that addressed the children, their family and community, the school staff, and decision makers within the school setting. Implementation was carried out in three elementary schools. Seventy-one students participated in the evaluation of the program. The effectiveness of the SFS program was evaluated using non-randomized controlled before-and-after study groups (intervention and control) assessed over two time points (pre- and post-program implementation). Before (baseline) and after implementation, sleep and academic performance were measured using actigraphy and report card marks, respectively.
In the intervention group, true sleep was extended by 18.2 min per night, sleep efficiency improved by 2.3%, and sleep latency was shortened by 2.3 min, and report card grades in mathematics and English improved significantly. No changes were noted in the control group.
Participation in the sleep education program was associated with significant improvements in children's sleep and academic performance.
本研究的目的是开发并评估一项以学校为基础的睡眠教育项目的有效性，该项目旨在改善学龄儿童的睡眠和学业成绩。
采用基于社区的参与性研究方法，我们创建了一个以学校为基础的睡眠教育项目“成功睡眠”™（SFS），它由四个不同的模块组成，分别针对儿童、他们的家庭和社区、学校工作人员以及学校环境中的决策者。该项目在三所小学实施。71名学生参与了对该项目的评估。SFS项目的有效性通过非随机对照前后研究组（干预组和对照组）在两个时间点（项目实施前和实施后）进行评估。在实施前（基线）和实施后，分别使用活动记录仪和成绩单分数来测量睡眠和学业成绩。
在干预组中，每晚的实际睡眠时间延长了18.2分钟，睡眠效率提高了2.3%，入睡潜伏期缩短了2.3分钟，数学和英语的成绩单成绩显著提高。对照组未发现变化。
参与睡眠教育项目与儿童睡眠和学业成绩的显著改善有关。
