Abstract

Purpose: We investigated sleep-related challenges and their association with family functioning in children and adolescents previously treated for craniopharyngioma.

Design: Quantitative approach using psychometrically validated measures.

Sample: Thirty-nine children and adolescents who had been treated for craniopharyngioma and their primary caregivers.

Methods: Caregivers and youth completed measures of family functioning, family routines, daytime sleepiness, and children's sleep patterns.

Findings: Children and adolescents with craniopharyngioma had significantly higher ratings of self-reported excessive daytime sleepiness, bedtime fears/worries, and restless legs symptoms compared to their relatively healthy peers. Lack of family routines and poor family functioning were related to poor sleep-related outcomes and increased excessive daytime sleepiness.

Implications for psychosocial providers: Providers should consider assessing sleep difficulties in pediatric brain tumor survivors from a family systems perspective. Intervening on family-related factors may help improve sleep and other health-related outcomes, whereas intervening on sleep may help improve family functioning.

曾接受过颅咽管瘤治疗的儿童和青少年的睡眠相关挑战和家庭功能。

目的：我们调查了曾接受过颅咽管瘤治疗的儿童和青少年的睡眠相关挑战及其与家庭功能的关系：样本：39 名接受过颅咽管瘤治疗的儿童和青少年：39名接受过颅咽管瘤治疗的儿童和青少年及其主要照顾者：照顾者和青少年填写了有关家庭功能、家庭常规、白天嗜睡和儿童睡眠模式的问卷：研究结果：与相对健康的同龄人相比，患有颅咽管瘤的儿童和青少年在自我报告的白天过度嗜睡、睡前恐惧/焦虑和双腿不安症状方面的评分明显更高。缺乏家庭常规和家庭功能低下与睡眠相关的不良结果和白天过度嗜睡的增加有关：医疗服务提供者应考虑从家庭系统的角度评估小儿脑肿瘤幸存者的睡眠障碍。对家庭相关因素进行干预可能有助于改善睡眠和其他健康相关结果，而对睡眠进行干预可能有助于改善家庭功能。

期刊介绍： Here is your single source of integrated information on providing the best psychosocial care possible from the knowledge available from many disciplines.The Journal of Psychosocial Oncology is an essential source for up-to-date clinical and research material geared toward health professionals who provide psychosocial services to cancer patients, their families, and their caregivers. The journal—the first interdisciplinary resource of its kind—is in its third decade of examining exploratory and hypothesis testing and presenting program evaluation research on critical areas, including: the stigma of cancer; employment and personal problems facing cancer patients; patient education.
