The relationship between sensory processing factors and the sleep habits and patterns of typically developing children ages 8-12 yr was investigated.
Forty-five typically developing children and their parents or caregivers took part. Parents completed the Sensory Processing Measure-Home Form, Children's Sleep Hygiene Scale, and Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire, and the children completed the Children's Report of Sleep Patterns. Spearman ρ correlation and linear regression analyses were completed with the children's sleep habits and patterns as the dependent variables and the sensory processing factors as the independent variables.
Sensory processing factors were significantly associated with the children's sleep habits and patterns, as reported by parents and children. Predictive relationships were established between the children's sensory processing factors and sleep habits and patterns.
Occupational therapy practitioners should consider sensory processing factors when working with children who present with suspected sleep problems.
研究感觉统合因素与8至12岁发育正常儿童的睡眠习惯及模式之间的关系。
45名发育正常的儿童及其父母或照料者参与了研究。父母完成了《感觉统合测量-家庭版》《儿童睡眠卫生量表》和《儿童睡眠习惯问卷》，儿童完成了《儿童睡眠模式报告》。以儿童的睡眠习惯及模式作为因变量，感觉统合因素作为自变量，完成了斯皮尔曼ρ相关分析和线性回归分析。
父母和儿童报告称，感觉统合因素与儿童的睡眠习惯及模式显著相关。在儿童的感觉统合因素与睡眠习惯及模式之间建立了预测关系。
职业治疗从业者在为疑似有睡眠问题的儿童提供服务时应考虑感觉统合因素。
