Children and adolescents get fewer than the recommended hours of sleep. The Child and Adolescent Sleep Checklist for parents (CASC-P) was designed to identify sleep habits and screen for sleep problems in junior high school students in Japan. This study aimed to validate the Japanese version of the CASC-P for junior high school students and determine its internal consistency.
We used confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and Cronbach's α to validate the scale and examine reliability. The analysis involved 218 parents of students aged 12-15 years.
Cronbach's α for the overall scale was 0.771. The prevalence of sleep problems was 15.6%. Factorial construct validity was assessed using the four-factor model used in the original CASC-P. Almost all items loaded meaningfully on their designated factors, and standardized factor-loading values ranged from 0.278 to 0.878 (except for items 1, 2, 9, 16, and 21).
: The CASC-P is a suitable questionnaire for assessing parents' perspectives on adolescent sleep behavior.
儿童和青少年的睡眠时间少于推荐时长。家长版儿童和青少年睡眠清单(CASC-P)旨在识别日本初中生的睡眠习惯并筛查睡眠问题。本研究旨在验证日本版CASC-P在初中生中的有效性,并确定其内部一致性。
我们使用验证性因子分析(CFA)和克朗巴哈α系数来验证该量表并检验其信度。分析涉及218名12至15岁学生的家长。
整个量表的克朗巴哈α系数为0.771。睡眠问题的患病率为15.6%。使用原始CASC-P中的四因素模型评估因子结构效度。几乎所有项目都在其指定因子上有有意义的载荷,标准化因子载荷值范围为0.278至0.878(项目1、2、9、16和21除外)。
CASC-P是一份适用于评估家长对青少年睡眠行为看法的问卷。
