Sleep issues occur at higher rates in children with neurodevelopmental disorders than in the typical population. Little is known about the impact of COVID-19 on sleep issues in this population METHOD: This integrative review aimed to characterize studies during the COVID-19 pandemic (2020-2022) addressing the prevalence and management of sleep issues in children and youth with neurodevelopmental disorders.Comprehensive database searches were used to identify articles, and 31 studies were considered suitable for this review.
Most studies reported worsening sleep disturbances during COVID-19 restrictions. All studies were conducted when clinics were closed; only two studies addressed treatment options such as music therapy and sleep hygiene education and found improvement in sleep issues.
Future research needs to concentrate on developing interventions to assist families remotely and empower families with a toolkit of preparedness in times of crisis.
与普通人群相比,患有神经发育障碍的儿童出现睡眠问题的比率更高。关于 COVID-19 对该人群睡眠问题的影响知之甚少。
本综述旨在描述 2020-2022 年 COVID-19 大流行期间的研究,这些研究针对神经发育障碍儿童和青少年的睡眠问题的流行率和管理。使用综合数据库搜索来确定文章,有 31 项研究适合本综述。
大多数研究报告称,在 COVID-19 限制期间,睡眠障碍恶化。所有研究都是在诊所关闭时进行的;只有两项研究探讨了音乐疗法和睡眠卫生教育等治疗选择,并发现睡眠问题有所改善。
未来的研究需要集中精力开发干预措施,以便远程协助家庭,并在危机时期为家庭提供一套应对准备工具包。
