Abstract

Aim: Children and adolescents get fewer than the recommended hours of sleep. The Child and Adolescent Sleep Checklist for parents (CASC-P) was designed to identify sleep habits and screen for sleep problems in junior high school students in Japan. This study aimed to validate the Japanese version of the CASC-P for junior high school students and determine its internal consistency.

Methods: We used confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and Cronbach's α to validate the scale and examine reliability. The analysis involved 218 parents of students aged 12-15 years.

Results: Cronbach's α for the overall scale was 0.771. The prevalence of sleep problems was 15.6%. Factorial construct validity was assessed using the four-factor model used in the original CASC-P. Almost all items loaded meaningfully on their designated factors, and standardized factor-loading values ranged from 0.278 to 0.878 (except for items 1, 2, 9, 16, and 21).

Conclusion: : The CASC-P is a suitable questionnaire for assessing parents' perspectives on adolescent sleep behavior.

社区初中生家长儿童青少年睡眠问卷的编制与实地检验。

目的：儿童和青少年的睡眠时间少于建议的时间。儿童和青少年家长睡眠检查表（CASC-P）旨在识别日本初中生的睡眠习惯并筛查睡眠问题。本研究旨在验证日文版初中生CASC-P，并确定其内部一致性。方法：采用验证性因子分析（CFA）和Cronbach’s α对量表进行验证和信度检验。这项分析涉及218名12-15岁学生的家长。结果：总体量表的Cronbach’s α为0.771。睡眠问题患病率为15.6%。因子结构效度评估使用四因素模型在原来的CASC-P。几乎所有的项目都对其指定的因素进行了有意义的加载，标准化的因素加载值在0.278到0.878之间（除了项目1、2、9、16和21）。结论：CASC-P问卷适用于评估家长对青少年睡眠行为的看法。
