Abstract(s)
O sono, é comum a todas as espécies animais, sendo um dos fatores que permitiu a sua sobrevivência ao longo dos séculos. Dado o grande impacto do sono em vários domínios, este tem sido um tema cada vez mais a alvo de estudo na comunidade científica.
Os objetivos principais que se pretende atingir neste estudo são: (i) avaliar a prevalência dos problemas do sono na perspetiva dos pais que recorreram à consulta de pediatria e serviço de urgência de um hospital privado da região norte; (ii) determinar o índice de perturbação do sono dos participantes que recorreram à consulta de pediatria e serviço de urgência de um hospital privado da região norte; (iii) comparar os hábitos de sono dos filhos de profissionais de saúde a exercer a sua função no hospital selecionado com os filhos de outros profissionais que recorrem à consulta de pediatria e serviço de urgência do mesmo hospital.
Este estudo insere-se no paradigma de investigação quantitativa e é do tipo descritivo com corte transversal. A colheita de dados decorreu num hospital privado da região norte de 1 de fevereiro a 31 de abril de 2022. O instrumento de colheita de dados utilizado foi o Children ́s Sleep Habits Questionnaire, já traduzido e validado para a cultura portuguesa. A amostra de conveniência é constituída por 34 pais de crianças com idades compreendidas entre os dois e os oito anos, sendo Enfermeiros/as a exercerem a sua atividade profissional na instituição ou pais que recorram à Consulta de Pediatria ou ao Serviço de Urgência do referido Hospital.
Os resultados mostram que existe uma baixa prevalência de problemas de sono identificados pelos pais (24%.), um Índice de Perturbação do Sono das crianças de 50,03%, com maior incidência na faixa etária dos dois aos três anos, a duração do tempo de sono das crianças vai diminuindo conforme a idade, sendo que a média de sono noturno encontrada de aproximadamente 10 horas.
Conclui-se que a amostra em estudo apresenta uma elevada prevalência de distúrbios de sono, resultados estes superiores a outros já publicados em Portugal.
Sleep is common to all animal species, being one of the factors that allowed their survival throughout the centuries. Given the great impact of sleep in several domains, this has been a topic that has been increasingly the target of study in the scientific community. The main objectives that this study aims to achieve are: (i) to evaluate the prevalence of sleep problems from the perspective of parents who used the pediatric consultation and emergency department of a private hospital in the selected northern region; (ii) to determine the sleep disturbance index of the participants who used the pediatric consultation and emergency department of a private hospital in the selected northern region; (iii) to compare the sleep habits of the children of health professionals working in the selected hospital with the children of other professionals who used the pediatric consultation and emergency department of the same hospital. This study is part of the quantitative research paradigm and is a descriptive cross-sectional study. Data were collected in a private hospital in the northern region of Portugal from February 1 to April 31, 2022. The data collection instrument used was the Children ́s Sleep Habits Questionnaire, already translated and validated for the Portuguese culture. The convenience sample was composed of 34 parents of children aged between two and eight years old, being Nurses working at the institution or parents who used the Pediatric Consultation or the Emergency Department of the mentioned Hospital. The results show that there is a low prevalence of sleep problems identified by parents (24%), a Sleep Disordered Sleep Index of 50.03%, with a higher incidence in the two to three year old age group, the duration of the children's sleep time decreases with age, with an average of approximately 10 hours of sleep at night. We conclude that the sample under study presents a high prevalence of sleep disorders, results that are higher than others already published in Portugal.
