Abstract

Objective To investigate the prevalence of sleep disorders and associated factors among preschoolers in Shijizhuang urban area. Method A total of 445 preschoolers from 6 kindergartens were surveyed with the Children Sleep Habit Questionnaire (CSHQ) and self-made checklist. Results According to CSHQ cut-offs, the global prevalence rate of sleep disorders was 76.3%, with their specific type occurring in 12.1% (sleep disordered breathing) to 67.7% (sleep onset resistance).Generally, those with higher school grade, higher education level of the parents, lager living room, sleep alone and consistent parenting attitude scored lower on sleep disorders (P<0.05 or <0.01).Additionally, the current sample scored higher than parallel peers abroad (P<0.05 or <0.01). Conclusions The prevalence rate of sleep disorders is comparatively high among preschoolers in urban area of Shijiazhuang and that of the specific sleep disorders varies significantly.School grade, parent education degree, sleeping environment and parenting are associated with sleep disorders.
