Abstract:
Objective To study the sleep quality of the parents whose children with cerebral palsy (CP).Methods The Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) as an investigative tool was used to investigate 36 cases of parents with CP children and 36 cases of parents with normal children.Results The sleep problem report rate was 34.72％ in parents with CP children,and 19.44％ in parents with normal children,their difference was statistically significant (x2 =4.255,P ＜0.05).Score of PSQI(5.72 ±3.54 vs 3.19±2.76,t =3.380,P ＜0.01),sleep quality(1.33 ±0.83 vs 0.78 ±0.34,t =3.371,P ＜0.01),fall asleep time (1.28 ± 0.88 vs 0.72 ± 0.36,t =3.027,P ＜ 0.01),hours of sleep (1.16 ± 0.72 vs 1.01 ±0.62,t =2.278,P ＜ 0.05),and insomnia(1.23 ± 0.56 vs 0.75 ± 0.28,t =2.949,P ＜ 0.01) of parents with CP children were significantly different from the parents with normal children.Score of PSQI (6.21±0.85 vs4.32 ±0.73,t =3.380,P ＜0.01),sleep quality(1.14 ±0.73 vs 0.89 ±0.66,t =2.986,P＜ 0.01),fall asleep time (1.22 ± 0.81 vs 0.96 ± 0.83,t =2.853,P ＜ 0.01),hours of sleep (1.09 ± 0.66vs 0.85 ± 0.71,t =2.136,P ＜ 0.05),insomnia (1.15 ± 0.63 vs 0.83 ± 0.62,t =2.513,P ＜ 0.01)and daytime function(1.19 ± 0.43 vs 0.88 ± 0.62,t =2.586,P ＜ 0.01) of mothers with CP children were significantly different from fathers with CP children.Conclusions The sleep quality of parents of CP children are worthy of attention.
