Few studies have examined self-reported sleepwalking in older adolescents. The aim of this study was to examine the prevalence rates of sleepwalking in a one-month self-report period in Australian adolescents.
Participants were 532 Australian adolescents in their final two years of secondary school.
The prevalence of sleepwalking in the one-month self-report period was 2.9% (95% confidence interval (CI) 1.47-4.33) in this sample-1% reported sleepwalking at least once a week in the previous month. A significant proportion (17.5%) of the participants was unsure if they had sleepwalked.
The results provide data on the self-reported prevalence rate of sleepwalking in older adolescents. Compared with the population data, this rate falls within the confidence intervals of child and adult prevalence rates of sleepwalking and is consistent with a decline in sleepwalking from childhood and adulthood. Further research is needed to explore how adolescents know they sleepwalk to understand the reliability of self-report measures.
很少有研究调查大龄青少年中自我报告的梦游情况。本研究的目的是调查澳大利亚青少年在为期一个月的自我报告期内梦游的患病率。
参与者为532名澳大利亚处于中学最后两年的青少年。
在该样本中，为期一个月的自我报告期内梦游的患病率为2.9%（95%置信区间[CI] 1.47 - 4.33）——1%的人报告在前一个月每周至少梦游一次。相当一部分参与者（17.5%）不确定自己是否梦游过。
研究结果提供了大龄青少年中自我报告的梦游患病率数据。与总体数据相比，该患病率落在儿童和成人梦游患病率的置信区间内，并且与从儿童期到成年期梦游现象的减少相一致。需要进一步研究以探索青少年如何知晓自己梦游，从而了解自我报告测量方法的可靠性。
