Abstract

Objective To investigate sleep arrangement,influencing factors,and effects on sleep outcomes among Chinese infants. Methods According to the Hospital of Province-Cite-County sampling technical route from 2012 to 2013,a total of 1 304 healthy full-term children at the age of 0~35 months were sampled by stratified cluster random sampling method from 8 provinces in China. Parents filled out the Brief Infant Sleep Questionnaire (BISQ) and a self-designed Children′s Personal and Family Socio-demographic Environment Questionnaire to assess sleep arrangements,sleep patterns and socio-demographic factors. Results The average age of infants was (12±10) months,with boys accounting for 53.8%.The percentage of bed-sharing was 84.8％,the room-sharing was 13.2%,and the solitary sleep was 2.0%. Compared with infants under 6 months old,the proportion of bed-sharing for infants aged 6 months or older was significantly higher,room-sharing was significantly lower(all P<0.05),and no significant difference in solitary sleep existed(P>0.05). Multivariable Logistic regression analysis showed the risk factors of bed-sharing were infants aged 6 months or older,family per capita monthly income ≤3 000 yuan and residential suburb. General linear regression analysis showed the predictive effects of bed-sharing on any sleep parameters were not statistically significant(all P＞0.05). Conclusions Bed-sharing is common in Chinese infants aged 0~35 months,with much higher incidence rate than western compartments. Although bed-sharing is associated with infants′age and socioeconomic status,it is not recognized to have direct effects on sleep outcomes.
