The Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ) is a parent-report questionnaire used to examine sleep behavior in children. Linguistic adaptation of CSHQ into several languages and/or psychometric analysis of reliability have been published.
Our aim was to translate the original 33-items CSHQ from English to Italian and to examine its reliability for use in 4-10 years-old children of Italy. After translation and back-translation procedure of the original CSHQ, the Italian CSHQ (CSHQ-IT) was administered to 69 mothers of healthy children. Reliability of CSHQ-IT was examined by the internal consistency of the scale (using the Cronbach's alpha coefficient), and by the test-retest analysis obtained by asking mothers who had completed the CSHQ-IT at baseline to re-complete it after a two-week interval (measured with the Lin's Concordance Correlation Coefficient, CCC). The CSHQ-IT showed adequate internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha = 0.81 for the total scale). The total CSHQ-IT score showed a strong correlation in retests (CCC 0.87; 95% Confidence Interval, 0.80; 0.92).
CSHQ-IT is a valuable tool for evaluating sleep behavior in children 4-10 years-old in Italy. Future research should be implemented to provide definitive validity of CSHQ-IT in children with sleep-disordered breathing.
儿童睡眠习惯问卷（CSHQ）是一种家长报告问卷，用于检查儿童的睡眠行为。CSHQ 已被翻译成多种语言，并进行了信度的心理测量学分析。
我们的目的是将原始的 33 项 CSHQ 从英文翻译成意大利文，并检验其在意大利 4-10 岁儿童中的可靠性。在对原始 CSHQ 进行翻译和回译程序后，意大利 CSHQ（CSHQ-IT）被用于 69 名健康儿童的母亲。CSHQ-IT 的可靠性通过量表的内部一致性（使用 Cronbach's alpha 系数）以及通过要求在基线时完成 CSHQ-IT 的母亲在两周后再次完成的测试-重测分析来检验（用 Lin's 一致性相关系数，CCC）。CSHQ-IT 显示出足够的内部一致性（总量表的 Cronbach's alpha 为 0.81）。CSHQ-IT 的总分在重测中具有很强的相关性（CCC 0.87；95%置信区间，0.80；0.92）。
CSHQ-IT 是评估意大利 4-10 岁儿童睡眠行为的有用工具。应进行未来的研究，以提供 CSHQ-IT 在睡眠障碍呼吸儿童中的明确有效性。
