Abstract

Abstract

Objective To investigate the correlation of emotional and behavioral problems with sleep problems in children with cerebral palsy, so as to provide reference for intervention of emotional and behavioral problems in children. Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted, and 402 children aged 6-18 with cerebral palsy who were adopted by social welfare institutions in Guangzhou City from January 2023 to January 2024 were selected to investigate their full-time nurses. The Parents' Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) was used to assess the emotional and behavioral problems of children with cerebral palsy, and the Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ) was used to assess sleep problems. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to analyze the correlation between the sleep problem of children with cerebral palsy and the emotional and behavioral problems. Results The prevalence of emotional and behavioral difficulties among children with cerebral palsy was 15.7%. The median sleep problem score of children with emotional and behavioral problems [37.0(36.0, 41.0)] was significantly higher than that of children without emotional and behavioral [35.0(34.0, 36.0)] (Z=-5.74, P < 0.01). The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that after adjusting covariables such as age, gender, cerebral palsy classification, language retardation, visual impairment and epilepsy, the total sleep problem score of children with cerebral palsy was positively correlated with the total difficulty score (β=0.28, 95%CI=0.17-0.34, P < 0.05). Conclusions Sleep problems in children with cerebral palsy are associated with emotional and behavioral difficulties. Understanding of the management of sleep problems in children with cerebral palsy should be enhanced to reduce the incidence of emotional and behavioral problems in children with cerebral palsy.
