This study aimed to translate and validate the Japanese Sleep Questionnaire for Preschoolers (JSQ-P) into a Thai version and to evaluate factors associated with sleep problems in preschoolers.
The cross-cultural adaptation of JSQ-P into Thai version of JSQ-P (TH-JSQ-P) was performed including forward translation, reconciliation, backward translation, and final approval by the original creator. Children aged 2-6 years from community and clinical settings were enrolled. The TH-JSQ-P was completed by parents of preschool children twice within 10-14 days to assess its reliability and validity. Six validity tests including face validity, content validity, structural validity, construct validity, criterion validity and predictive validity were assessed. Demographic data, Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS), medical and behavior problems, and socioeconomic status were collected for analysis.
A total of 2613 participants completed the TH-JSQ-P, with 1207 completing it twice to assess test-retest reliability. The TH-JSQ-P had good internal consistency reliability and test-retest ability with Cronbach's alpha value of 0.898 and intraclass correlation coefficient of 0.814. The content validity was acceptable. The ESS had correlation with sleep problems in almost all subscales except for sleep habit.
The TH-JSQ-P is a valid and reliable instrument for evaluating sleep problems in preschool children in Thailand. It has the potential to be extensively utilized to screen for sleep problems, thereby enabling healthcare professionals to identify them early and implement prompt management.
本研究旨在将日本学龄前儿童睡眠问卷（JSQ-P）翻译并验证为泰文版本，并评估与学龄前儿童睡眠问题相关的因素。
通过正向翻译、协调、反向翻译和原作者最终批准，对 JSQ-P 进行跨文化改编，形成泰文版的 JSQ-P（TH-JSQ-P）。招募了来自社区和临床环境的 2-6 岁儿童。由学龄前儿童的父母两次在 10-14 天内填写 TH-JSQ-P，以评估其可靠性和有效性。评估了六项有效性测试，包括表面有效性、内容有效性、结构有效性、构念有效性、标准有效性和预测有效性。收集了人口统计学数据、嗜睡量表（ESS）、医疗和行为问题以及社会经济状况进行分析。
共有 2613 名参与者完成了 TH-JSQ-P，其中 1207 名参与者完成了两次以评估测试-重测信度。TH-JSQ-P 具有良好的内部一致性可靠性和重测能力，Cronbach's alpha 值为 0.898，组内相关系数为 0.814。内容有效性可接受。ESS 与除睡眠习惯外几乎所有子量表的睡眠问题均相关。
TH-JSQ-P 是一种有效且可靠的评估泰国学龄前儿童睡眠问题的工具。它有可能被广泛用于筛查睡眠问题，从而使医疗保健专业人员能够及早发现并实施及时的管理。
