Abstract

Objective To evaluate the relationship between sleep problems and psychopathologies in Brazilian preschool children. Materials and Methods The present is a cross-sectional study with162 children: 81 with sleep problems referred for treatment (mean age: 3.67 years), matched by gender/age with 81 participants without sleep problems. Sleep problems were identified through a clinical interview with a specialist. Psychopathologies were evaluated using the Child Behavior Checklist for Ages 1.5-5 (CBCL/1.5-5). Results Having sleep problems was a predictor of all forms of psychopathologies on the CBCL scales, except for the withdrawn scale. Aggressive behavior, depression/anxiety, affective problems, and oppositional defiant disorder were associated with presence of sleep problems. Conclusion Given the probable bidirectionality of the association between sleep problems and psychopathologies in children, it is suggested that regular assessments of both phenomena should be performed in children referred for treatment of sleep problems and mental health problems in general.

学龄前儿童睡眠问题与心理病理学之间的关系：巴西横断面研究

目的评估巴西学龄前儿童睡眠问题与心理病理学之间的关系。材料与方法本研究是一项横断面研究，共涉及 162 名儿童：81 名有睡眠问题的转诊儿童（平均年龄为 3.67 岁）和 81 名无睡眠问题的儿童（按性别/年龄配对）。睡眠问题是通过与专科医生的临床面谈确定的。心理病理学采用 1.5-5 岁儿童行为检查表（CBCL/1.5-5）进行评估。结果在 CBCL 量表中，除孤僻量表外，睡眠问题可预测所有形式的心理病态。攻击行为、抑郁/焦虑、情感问题和对立违抗障碍与睡眠问题有关。结论鉴于儿童睡眠问题与精神病理学之间可能存在双向关联，建议对因睡眠问题和一般精神健康问题而转诊治疗的儿童定期进行这两种现象的评估。
