OBJECTIVES: Assess the feasibility and staff experience of screening for behavioral sleep problems (BSP) and sleep disordered breathing (SDB) in early childhood education (ECE) settings; examine BSP/SDB prevalence and caregivers' knowledge/attitudes, perception of child sleep problems, and sleep health engagement in this sample. METHOD: Eight staff representatives from four ECE sites involved with sleep problem screening procedures within a larger RCT on ECE sleep health, discussed their experiences in a focus group; transcript content reviewed. A random subset of caregiver-child dyads (n = 59) from the four ECE sites completed sleep problem measures (BSP: Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire, Short form [SF-CSHQ], Tayside Children's Sleep Questionnaire [TCSQ-sleep disturbance and difficulty] and SDB: Pediatric Sleep Questionnaire [PSQ], in addition to RCT measures (Parent Knowledge/Attitude/Self-efficacy/Beliefs survey and sleep health goals). Caregiver sleep health engagement was measured by the sleep health goals set. RESULTS: ECE staff reported sleep problem screening as self-explanatory and doable but sometimes administratively burdensome. BSPs were identified in 44% (SF-CSHQ) to 63% (TCSQ-sleep disturbance) of children; SDBs in 13%. Only 11% of caregivers endorsed their child having a sleep "difficulty" (TCSQ). Sleep health goals were set by 85% of caregivers; 63% employed educational materials' language. CONCLUSION: Sleep problem screening in ECE is feasible, and problems are elicited. While caregivers readily engage in setting healthy sleep goals, few endorse sleep as difficult. ECE education could improve caregiver understanding/recognition of sleep problems.
目的:评估在幼儿教育(ECE)环境中筛查行为性睡眠问题(BSP)和睡眠呼吸障碍(SDB)的可行性及工作人员的经验;研究该样本中BSP/SDB的患病率、照顾者的知识/态度、对儿童睡眠问题的认知以及睡眠健康参与情况。 方法:来自四个ECE机构的八名工作人员代表参与了一项关于ECE睡眠健康的大型随机对照试验中的睡眠问题筛查程序,他们在一个焦点小组中讨论了自己的经验;对文字记录内容进行了审查。来自这四个ECE机构的一组随机抽取的照顾者-儿童二元组(n = 59)完成了睡眠问题测量(BSP:儿童睡眠习惯问卷简表[SF-CSHQ]、泰赛德儿童睡眠问卷[TCSQ-睡眠干扰和困难],以及SDB:儿科睡眠问卷[PSQ]),此外还完成了随机对照试验的测量(家长知识/态度/自我效能/信念调查和睡眠健康目标)。照顾者的睡眠健康参与情况通过设定的睡眠健康目标来衡量。 结果:ECE工作人员报告称,睡眠问题筛查一目了然且可行,但有时在行政方面负担较重。44%(SF-CSHQ)至63%(TCSQ-睡眠干扰)的儿童被确定存在BSP;13%的儿童存在SDB。只有11%的照顾者认可自己的孩子存在睡眠“困难”(TCSQ)。85%的照顾者设定了睡眠健康目标;63%采用了教育材料中的表述。 结论:在ECE中进行睡眠问题筛查是可行的,且能发现问题。虽然照顾者很乐意参与设定健康的睡眠目标,但很少有人认可孩子存在睡眠困难。ECE教育可以提高照顾者对睡眠问题的理解/认知。
