Hábitos e perturbações do sono em crianças em idade pré-escolar e escolar
| Resumo: | Introduction: Sleep is influenced by biopsychological factors and by the cultural, social and familiar environment. Inadequate sleep causes cognitive, behavioral and emotional problems in children. The aim was to compare sleep between preschool (PS) and school (S) aged children. Materials and Methods: The Children’s Sleep Habits Questionnaire-PT was applied to children aged three to ten years old. Descriptive and comparative statistics - SPSS® 21. Significance level of 5%. Results: 185 questionnaires. Calculated mean wakeup time, bedtime and sleep duration were similar to reference values from portuguese children. S children woke up 13 minutes earlier (p <0,01) and slept 14 minutes less (p <0,01) during the week. The prevalence of parent reported sleep problems was 14,3% in the PS group and 12,2% in the S group, in contrast with the obtained scores: 41% and 30,3%, respectively, presented a sleep disturbance index ≥ 48. The problems with the highest scores were: daytime sleepiness and bedtime resistance. Most sleep habits presented an higher prevalence in PS; bedtime resistance had significantly higher score in this age group (p <0,05). Conclusion: Parents have poor perception of sleep. Both age groups sleep less than recommended. Sleep problems are prevalent in children and should be actively investigated. It’s necessary to educate parents about healthy sleep. |
