Abstract

Objectives: Survivors of childhood cancer are at risk of sleep disturbances, an often, neglected aspect of holistic health. This study was carried out to determine the prevalence of sleep disturbances in survivors of pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and to identify any risk factors for the same.

Methods: Survivors of ALL aged 6-18 years, who had completed their treatment, at least two or more years ago, were enrolled. The Child Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ) was used to assess the sleep problems.

Results: Out of 89 childhood survivors of ALL, 42.7% had sleep disturbances. Fears during treatment, painful memories during treatment, younger age at enrolment, and shorter interval from treatment completion were significantly more in patients having sleep problems.

Conclusions: Approximately half of childhood ALL survivors had sleep problems. Fears during chemotherapy and shorter post-completion interval were significant risk factors for sleep problems in childhood cancer survivors.

儿童急性淋巴细胞白血病幸存者的睡眠障碍：一项横断面研究

目的：儿童癌症幸存者面临睡眠障碍的风险，这是整体健康的一个经常被忽视的方面。本研究旨在确定儿童急性淋巴细胞白血病（ALL）幸存者中睡眠障碍的患病率，并确定其任何危险因素。方法：年龄6-18岁的ALL幸存者，至少在两年或两年以上前完成了治疗。采用儿童睡眠习惯问卷（CSHQ）评估睡眠问题。结果：89例急性淋巴细胞白血病儿童幸存者中，42.7%有睡眠障碍。在有睡眠问题的患者中，治疗期间的恐惧、治疗期间的痛苦记忆、更年轻的入组年龄和更短的治疗间隔明显更多。结论：大约一半的儿童ALL幸存者有睡眠问题。化疗期间的恐惧和化疗结束后较短的间隔时间是儿童癌症幸存者睡眠问题的重要危险因素。
