Abstract

Objective To analyze the relationship between family parenting style and children's sleep, and to determine the beneficial parenting style for children's sleep, so as to provide reference for improving children's sleep quality. Methods A total of 214 children aged 6 - 12 who underwent physical examination in the Sun Simiao Hospital of Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from September to to December 2021 were collected as the study subjects. Egna Minnen Betrffende Uppfostran for Children (EMBU-C) and Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ) were used to evaluate the parenting style and children's sleep status, then the association between the two was analyzed. Results There were statistically significant differences in CSHQ total score in different age (t=6.45, P＜0.001), co-sleeping (F=11.82, P＜0.001) and screen time groups (F=5.13, P=0.007). Significant correlations were found between parental EMBU-C and multiple dimensions of CSHQ (P<0.05). Multivariate linear regression analysis indicated that CSHQ total score of children significantly decreased from co-sleeping with caregivers to sleeping alone in a separate room (β=-1.81). Maternal emotional warm in each dimension of parental EMBU-C was negatively related to CSHQ total score of children (β=-0.50). However, screen time of children was positively correlated with CSHQ total score (β=1.89). The three factors together explained 18% of the variance (ΔR²=0.18). Conclusions Children's sleep status is related to age and family parenting style. Co-sleeping and excessive screen time in family parenting environment can reduce children's sleep quality, while maternal emotional warmth has a certain significance in improving children's sleep.
