Although the mean score of the Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ) differs between countries, there are no normative data for the CSHQ of Japanese preschoolers based on a community sample. The aims of this study were therefore to present normative data for the CSHQ and determine the prevalence and characteristics of sleep problems in Japanese preschoolers. Parents or the primary caregiver of 482 preschoolers aged 4-5 years completed the CSHQ and the Strength and Difficulties Questionnaire. Approximately 80% of preschoolers scored above the cut-off for sleep disturbance on the CSHQ. In addition, co-sleeping was prevalent in Japanese preschoolers but the habit of co-sleeping contributed little to behavioral and emotional problems. Sleep problems appear to be prevalent in Japanese preschoolers based on the CSHQ, and could be associated with the Japanese sleep habit of co-sleeping.
尽管儿童睡眠习惯问卷(CSHQ)的平均得分在不同国家之间存在差异,但基于社区样本的日本学龄前儿童CSHQ的常模数据尚未建立。因此,本研究的目的是提供CSHQ的常模数据,并确定日本学龄前儿童睡眠问题的患病率和特征。482名4至5岁学龄前儿童的父母或主要照顾者完成了CSHQ和长处与困难问卷。约80%的学龄前儿童在CSHQ上的得分高于睡眠障碍的临界值。此外,同睡在日本学龄前儿童中很普遍,但同睡习惯对行为和情绪问题的影响很小。基于CSHQ,睡眠问题在日本学龄前儿童中似乎很普遍,并且可能与日本同睡的睡眠习惯有关。
