Relationship between hospitalization stress and changes in sleep patterns in children aged 3-6 years in the Al-Fajar Room of Haji Hospital, Makassar

Abstract

Hospitalization is a crisis situation for children, when they are sick and treated in the hospital, they must adapt to the hospital environment. Based on the latest data from WHO in 2015, around 77,423 children worldwide experience several problems due to hospitalization. The purpose of this research was to determine the relationship between hospitalization stress and changes in sleep patterns in children aged 3-6 years at Haji Hospital, Makassar. The type of research is an analytic observational with a cross-sectional approach. The population was hospitalized children aged 3-6 years in the Al-Fajar Room/Child Care Room at Haji Hospital of Makassar, and the sample size was 45 children using accidental sampling. Data collection used observation sheets and analyzed using the Chi-Square test. The results showed that from 30 respondents experienced hospitalization stress, 16.7% did not experience a change in sleep patterns, and 83.3% experienced changes in sleep patterns. While the respondents who did not experience hospitalization stress were 15 respondents, where 53.3% did not experience changes in sleep patterns, and 46.7% experienced changes in sleep patterns.

“…The actual construction of the hippocampus is the focus of 2 of the articles-1 in healthy individuals [32], and 1 regarding patients with lesions [37]. The remaining 6 papers concentrated on the function the hippocampus was investigated to perform- [29,30,[33][34][35][36]. Although some of these studies also investigate the role of the hippocampus in relation to mice or rats, only the information of these studies pertaining to humans is noted, as it is only regarding humans that the relevance of personal narrative here is under consideration.…”

“…There were 6 papers that concentrated on hippocampal function, [29,30,[33][34][35][36]], These will be examined in order.…”

“…Investigating the relationship between hospitalization stress and changes in sleep patterns in children aged 3-6 years in the Al-Fajar Room of Haji Hospital, Makassar [35] found, in a sample size of 45 children using accidental sampling, that 83.3% experienced changes in sleep patterns. They conclude that the higher the hospitalization stress preschool-aged children experience, the more their sleep patterns tended to change, and that the higher the cortisol produced, the higher the disturbances in the hippocampal and neocortical systems.…”

“…Referring to a 2019 theory [53], it is proposed by the authors that contextual binding is a unified mechanism with the hippocampus playing a central role in item and context binding, where the hippocampus is sensitive to predictive mismatches [54]. Regarding mental health, 3 of the papers report on at least one specific mental diagnosis [24,28,31], while 3 are specifically concerned with structural integration [25,27,35], and 1 focuses on connection of brain activity [27]. The development of temporal/spatial mental maps is the concentration of 2 articles [32,34]; memory is highlighted in 4 studies [30,33,35,36]; and the ability to assume a particular point of view is examined in 2 publications [29,37].…”
