“…Sleep Problems Scale for Children . This instrument was previously designed and validated for the study population (Moo‐Estrella et al, 2018), based on the indicators of the International Classification of Sleep Disorders. The scale includes six factors: (1) difficulty initiating sleep, (2) nightmares, (3) nocturnal awakenings, (4) daytime sleepiness, (5) difficulty waking up, and (6) sleepwalking.…”

“…The scale includes six factors: (1) difficulty initiating sleep, (2) nightmares, (3) nocturnal awakenings, (4) daytime sleepiness, (5) difficulty waking up, and (6) sleepwalking. According to the used version of the sleep problems scale (Moo‐Estrella et al, 2018), each factor includes three to five questions. The questions cover five response options: 1 (none), 2 few (1–2 days), 3 some (3–4 days), 4 almost all (5–6 days), and 5 daily (7 days), to indicate the number of days they had sleep problems.…”

“…In this sense, complaints of sleep problems in children are very frequent (Lofthouse et al, 2007), up to 69% can have a sleep complaint in a week. (Moo‐Estrella et al, 2018; National Sleep Foundation, 2004). Sleep disturbances present in children include: daytime sleepiness present between 10% and 65% (Muluk et al, 2015; Owens et al, 2000), complaints associated with parasomnias such as enuresis (8.7%), sleep‐talking (20.9%), sleepwalking (3.2%), teeth grinding (15.4%) and night terrors (8.4%), occur frequently in children (R. Gupta et al, 2016).…”

Problem Sleep disturbance is a characteristic symptom of depression, but it is also a problem in itself related to the severity of this illness. Hence, the objective of this study was to examine sleep habits and sleep problems associated with increased depressive symptoms in children. Methods The sample included 524 children equally distributed by gender (51.1% female), with an average age of 10.29 (SD = 1.34) years. The administered instruments were the Children's Depression Inventory (CDI; Cronbach α = 0.82) and a Sleep Habits and Sleep Problems Questionnaire (α = 0.91). Findings The mean score for the CDI was 12.51 (SD = 6.74) and 20% presented symptoms of depression. The linear regression model showed that sleep habits associated with the increase in symptoms of depression were: little sleep, hours of sleep during the week, and wake‐up time on weekdays. In the same model, the associated sleep problems were: nocturnal awakenings, nightmares, and difficulty waking up. The presence of these sleep habits and sleep problems increased the score from 2.07 to 13.50 points on the CDI scale. Conclusions Depressive symptoms increase with the presence of sleep habits related to sleep deprivation and sleep problems related to parasomnias in school‐age children.

Since a thorough review in 2011 by Spruyt, into the integral pitfalls of pediatric questionnaires in sleep, sleep researchers worldwide have further evaluated many existing tools. This systematic review aims to comprehensively evaluate and summarize the tools currently in circulation and provide recommendations for potential evolving avenues of pediatric sleep interest. 144 "tool"-studies (70 tools) have been published aiming at investigating sleep in primarily 6-18 years old per parental report. Although 27 new tools were discovered, most of the studies translated or evaluated the psychometric properties of existing tools. Some form of normative values has been established in 18 studies. More than half of the tools queried general sleep problems. Extra efforts in tool development are still needed for tools that assess children outside the 6-to-12-year-old age range, as well as for tools examining sleep-related aspects beyond sleep problems/disorders. Especially assessing the validity of tools has been pursued vis-à-vis fulfillment of psychometric criteria. While the Spruyt et al. review provided a rigorous step-by-step guide into the development and validation of such tools, a pattern of steps continue to be overlooked. As these instruments are potentially valuable in assisting in the development of a clinical diagnosis into pediatric sleep pathologies, it is required that while they are primary subjective measures, they behave as objective measures. More tools for specific populations (e.g., in terms of ages, developmental disabilities, and sleep pathologies) are still needed.

Spánek je velmi důležitý pro normální vývoj a každodenní fungování adolescenta. Cíl: Cílem příspěvku je popsat, analyzovat a porovnat hodnoticí nástroje užívané k hodnocení spánku u adolescentů. Metody: Design: Přehledová studie -literární přehled. Pro získání dat byly použity elektronické databáze (Bibliographia Medica Čechoslovaca, MEDLINE, Web of Science, PubMed a Scopus). Z analýzy byly vyloučeny měřicí nástroje hodnotící spánek v jiném než českém, slovenském nebo anglickém jazyce a škály nevhodné k měření spánku u adolescentů. Výsledky: Mezi odbornou veřejností se objevuje mnoho studií věnujících se problematice hodnocení spánku u dětí a adolescentů. U námi vyhledaných hodnoticích škál (19) nadále dochází k testování psychometrických vlastností, překladům do jiných jazyků a dalším modifikacím. Bylo by vhodné vytvořit jednotný, systematický, screeningový nástroj pro hodnocení spánku u dětí a adolescentů. Závěr: Problémy se spánkem mohou vyústit v poruchy chování, depresivní projevy, zhoršení vztahu mezi dítětem a rodičem, hyperaktivitu, zhoršení školního prospěchu, úzkostné stavy v dospělosti apod. Proto je nezbytné správně posoudit spánek již v dětském věku či adolescenci, např. v ordinaci praktického lékaře pro děti a dorost, prostřednictvím nejčastěji užívané škály Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ).
