Background It is possible to define sleep disorders as any disturbance in sleep timing, quality, or quantity that results in daytime distress and impairment in functioning that, in turn, affects the baseline functional status of an individual. Our study aimed to describe how sleep disorders might affect pediatric inpatients at King Abdulaziz University Hospital (KAUH) as well as estimate their prevalence (2021-2022). We assessed the sleep habits using questionnaires and analyzed and combined these data to create rankings to compare the different issues affecting sleep habits in pediatric patients. Methodology Two scoring systems were used in this study, namely (a) the Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ) and (b) the Pediatric Sleep Questionnaire. Analyses of the data were conducted using SPSS version 23 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA) and GraphPad Prism version 8 (GraphPad Software, Inc., San Diego, CA, USA). Results The prevalence of sleep disorders and their correlations were evaluated among 98 pediatric inpatients at KAUH, Saudi Arabia, between 2021 and 2022. The average duration of hospital stay was 11.97 ± 11.0 days (N = 78), and the average number of previous admissions was 2.85 ± 3.7 (N = 93). Conclusions According to the domain of the CSHQ, most children woke up sweating, screaming, and inconsolable during the night. Furthermore, bedtime resistance and sleep anxiety were the most prevalent sleep disturbances observed in the study population.
背景 睡眠障碍可定义为睡眠时间、质量或数量上的任何干扰，这些干扰会导致日间困扰和功能受损，进而影响个体的基线功能状态。我们的研究旨在描述睡眠障碍如何影响阿卜杜勒阿齐兹国王大学医院（KAUH）的儿科住院患者，并估计其患病率（2021 - 2022年）。我们使用问卷评估睡眠习惯，并分析和整合这些数据以创建排名，比较影响儿科患者睡眠习惯的不同问题。方法 本研究使用了两种评分系统，即（a）儿童睡眠习惯问卷（CSHQ）和（b）儿科睡眠问卷。使用SPSS 23版（美国纽约州阿蒙克市IBM公司）和GraphPad Prism 8版（美国加利福尼亚州圣地亚哥市GraphPad软件公司）对数据进行分析。结果 2021年至2022年期间，对沙特阿拉伯KAUH的98名儿科住院患者的睡眠障碍患病率及其相关性进行了评估。平均住院时间为11.97 ± 11.0天（N = 78），既往平均住院次数为2.85 ± 3.7次（N = 93）。结论 根据CSHQ的领域，大多数儿童夜间醒来时出汗、尖叫且无法安抚。此外，就寝时间抗拒和睡眠焦虑是研究人群中最普遍的睡眠障碍。
