Abstract:
ObjectiveTo investigate the status of sleep insufficiency in children and adolescents with mental disorders and related influencing factors. MethodsA total of 131 children and adolescents who were admitted to the Third People's Hospital of Fuyang from February to June 2021 and met the diagnostic criteria of International Classification of Diseases, tenth edition (ICD-10) for schizophrenia, depression or childhood-onset mood disorders were selected as the research subjects. A self-compiled questionnaire was used to collect the general demographic information, sleep status, lifestyle habits, family and school status of the selected individuals. The demographic information was compared between sleep sufficiency group and sleep insufficiency group. Spearman rank correlation was used to screen the influencing factors. Results① Among 131 children and adolescents with mental disorders, 93 cases (71.0%) had sleep insufficiency. There were significant differences between sleep insufficiency group and sleep sufficiency group in terms of disease types (χ2=8.798, P=0.012), experience of being beaten in recent 6 months (χ2=3.427, P=0.035), being scolded in recent 6 months (χ2=4.145, P=0.031), and cyberbullying over the past year (χ2=4.187, P=0.041). ② Among patients with sleep insufficiency, 77 cases (82.8%) reported difficulty in falling asleep and 69 cases (74.2%) reported nocturnal awakenings. ③ Sleep insufficiency in children and adolescents with mental disorders was positively correlated with the experience of being scolded (r=0.210, P=0.037) or beaten (r=0.145, P=0.023) over the past 6 months and cyberbullying over the past year (r=0.179, P=0.041). ConclusionChildren and adolescents with mental disorders suffer a high risk of sleep insufficiency, and is closely associated with depressive disorder, experience of being scolded or beaten over the past 6 months, and cyberbullying over the past year.
