Abstract

Sleep-related fears (i.e. fears related to sleep, nighttime and/or occurring before sleep) are linked to the development of anxiety and sleep problems in children. Parent- and child-report measurement tools are key to increasing understanding and facilitating better identification for treatment to prevent disorder development. We conducted a systematic review with the aim of identifying the breadth of parent- and child-report measures that include an assessment of sleep-related fears in children from 7 to 12 years old (stage 1) and reviewing the psychometric properties of measures that more comprehensively assess sleep-related fears (i.e. 3 or more items) using the COSMIN checklist (stage 2) to provide recommendations for measures (stage 3). A systematic search was performed using MEDLINE, EMBASE, ERIC and PsycINFO in accordance with PRISMA guidelines. At stage 1, we retrieved 14,495 records. Of these, 66 papers met eligibility and included 43 distinct measures. At stage 2, 11 out of the 43 measures met criteria for more comprehensive measurement of sleep-related fears. Findings demonstrated mixed and incomplete data and very little high-quality evidence. No measures met criteria for recommendation and the majority of measures require further validation studies.

儿童睡眠相关恐惧的测量：使用COSMIN对心理测量特性的系统回顾。

与睡眠有关的恐惧（即与睡眠、夜间和/或睡前有关的恐惧）与儿童焦虑和睡眠问题的发展有关。家长和儿童报告的测量工具是增进了解和促进更好地确定治疗以预防障碍发展的关键。我们进行了一项系统回顾，目的是确定父母和儿童报告措施的广度，包括对7至12岁儿童睡眠相关恐惧的评估（第一阶段），并使用COSMIN清单（第二阶段）审查更全面评估睡眠相关恐惧（即3个或更多项目）的措施的心理测量特性，以提供措施建议（第三阶段）。按照PRISMA指南，使用MEDLINE、EMBASE、ERIC和PsycINFO进行系统检索。在阶段1，我们检索了14,495条记录。其中，66篇论文符合资格，包括43项不同的指标。在第二阶段，43项测量中有11项符合更全面测量睡眠相关恐惧的标准。研究结果显示数据混杂且不完整，高质量证据很少。没有措施符合推荐标准，大多数措施需要进一步的验证研究。
