“…The SDSC assesses sleep disturbances based on the intensity or frequency of each of the following categories: score 1 for never, score 2 for infrequent (≤1–2 times/month), score 3 for occasional (1–2 times/week), 4 for often (3–5 times/week), and 5 for always (every day). The cut-off point of the total score was 39, then sleep disturbance was diagnosed should the total score was more than 39 [ 23 , 24 ]. The Indonesian version of SDSC was declared valid and reliable [ 24 ] with α = 0.81 [ 25 ].…”

Background Chronic rhinosinusitis allergy (CRA) is a disease that is commonly found in children and is mostly caused by allergy to house dust mites (HDM). The use of HDM immunotherapy can be considered in children with allergies. Objectives Analyzing the impact of mite immunotherapy on disease burden in Indonesian children with CRA. Methods A randomized control trial study was conducted to participants in 2 groups, namely the immunotherapy group (n = 25) and the non-immunotherapy group (n = 25). Participants were given HDM immunotherapy for 14 weeks, which was given once per week. Participants during therapy were evaluated for rhinosinusitis symptoms and measured their immunity status (specific IgE), sleep quality (SDSC), quality of life (SN5), and family coping (F-COPES) pre-post therapy. Statistical analysis used in this study included paired t-test, Wilcoxon test, independent t-test, or Mann Whitney test with p < 0.05. Results The value of specific IgE in the immunotherapy group was 4.12 ± 7.75 kU/l (pre-test) and 1.52 ± 2.42 kU/l (post-test; p < 0.001), while in the non-immunotherapy group was 1.47 ± 3.28 kU/l (pre-test) and 1.18 ± 2.81 kU/l (post-test; p = 0.317). The SDSC value in the immunotherapy group was 42.16 ± 2.75 (pre-test) and 30.32 ± 3.22 (post-test; p < 0.001), while in the non-immunotherapy group was 41.92 ± 2.75 (pre-test) and 41.84 ± 2.87 (post-test; p = 0.987). The F-COPES value in the immunotherapy group was 101.56 ± 5.78 (pre-test) and 105.20 ± 4.31 (post-test; p = 0.015), while in the non-immunotherapy group was 100.36 ± 9.63 (pre-test) and 99.96 ± 9.98 (post-test; p = 0.224). The SN-5 value in the immunotherapy group was 30.04 ± 2.78 (pre-test) and 11.00 ± 2.33 (post-test; p < 0.001), while in the non-immunotherapy group was 30.04 ± 2.78 (pre-test) and 30.04 ± 2.78 (post-test; p = 0.767). There was a significant comparison between the immunotherapy group and the non-immunotherapy group on the specific IgE ( p = 0.013), SDSC ( p < 0.001), and SN-5 ( p < 0.001) values. Meanwhile, there was no significant difference in the F-COPES value ( p = 0.129). Conclusions The administration of HDM immunotherapy can improve the participant's immunity, quality of life, and sleep disorder.

“…In addition to a total sleep score, it provides six groups of common sleep disorders, including disorders of initiating and maintaining sleep (DIMS), sleep breathing disorders (SBD), disorders of arousal (DA), sleep–wake transition disorders (SWTD), disorders of excessive somnolence (DOES), and sleep hyperhidrosis (SHY). The SDSC has been recognised as a useful screening tool in several languages, e.g., Italian (Romeo et al, 2013), Portuguese (Ferreira et al, 2009), French (Lecuelle et al, 2020; Putois et al, 2017), Flemish (Spruyt et al, 2004), Finnish (Simola et al, 2010), Turkish (Ağca et al, 2021), Persian (Saffari et al, 2014), Chinese (Huang et al, 2014), Malay (Ong et al, 2010), Indonesian (Herwanto et al, 2018), and Australian (Marriner et al, 2017). However, to the best of our knowledge, it has not been validated yet for a Spanish‐speaking population.…”

Summary The present research aimed to investigate, for the first time, the validity and reliability of the Sleep Disturbance Scale for Children (SDSC) in a sample of 2733 Spanish children aged 6–16 years. We also described the prevalence and sociodemographic correlates of sleep disorder symptoms among young people, which had never been studied in Spain. Confirmatory factor analysis supported the original six‐factor model and Cronbach's alpha for the total questionnaire was 0.82, which indicated good reliability. Moreover, all the SDSC subscales correlated positively and significantly with the total score (range = 0.41–0.70), thus showing convergent validity. Considering T‐scores >70 as pathological, we identified at least one sleep disorder in 116 participants (4.24%), including disorders of excessive somnolence (DOES; 5.82%), sleep–wake transition disorders (SWTD; 5.27%), and disorders of initiating and maintaining sleep (DIMS; 5.09%) among the most common problems. Students in secondary education and those from families with a low socioeconomic status were more likely to have DIMS, disorders of arousal, and DOES. Subjects with clinically elevated levels of sleep breathing disorders were more frequently of foreign origin and from disadvantaged families. Boys and primary school students were more prone to sleep hyperhidrosis, while SWTD were overrepresented among children with a low socioeconomic status. According to our results, the Spanish version of the SDSC seems to be a good instrument for assessing sleep disturbances in school‐age children and adolescents, which is essential to prevent the significant implications of poor sleeping on the overall welfare of young people.

“…Despite that the studies on children's sleep in mainland China have gradually increased over the past 20 years, valid assessment tools for pediatric sleep problems are few, and rates of screening and management are low. The SDSC was a parent-report scale for screening sleep disturbances within the preceding 6 months, but it now has been validated and adapted in sleep studies in different languages such as Australian (11), Persian (12), Indonesian (13), Flemish (14), Brazilian Portuguese (15), Portuguese (16), Finnish (17), Malay (18), and Turkish (19). In 2017, the "Guideline for Sleep Hygiene among Children Aged 0-5 Years" was published in mainland China (20), recommending the "Brief Infant Sleep (23).…”

The sleep disturbance scale for children (SDSC) has been validated in the population of Chinese children (aged 5–16 years) and has good psychometric properties. However, valid assessment tools for sleep problems in the population of infants and young children from mainland China are relatively scarce, and rates of screening and management for pediatric sleep problems are low.ObjectiveThis study is to evaluate the reliability and validity of SDSC among infants (aged 6–36 months), and to provide a reference for expanding the application of the SDSC for Chinese infants (SDSC-I).Materials and methodsFrom April to November 2021, parents of infants from Fuzhou, Quanzhou, Longyan, Sanming, and Nanping cities in Fujian Province, China completed the SDSC-I. Several factor analyses were performed to evaluate the reliability and validity of the scale.ResultsOf note, 432 out of 469 samples were valid. After item selections and exploratory factor analyses, the SDSC-I concluded six dimensions (disorders of initiating sleep, disorders of maintaining sleep, sleep hyperhidrosis, sleep breathing disorders, parasomnias, and non-restorative sleep and excessive somnolence) with 23 items. The Cronbach’s α coefficient of the scale was 0.863, and those for the six dimensions were within 0.576–0.835. The values of parameters for content validity of the scale were: IR = 0.87, I-CVI > 0.78, Kappa value > 0.74, S-CVI/UA = 0.87, S-CVI/Ave = 0.98. Principal component analysis revealed that the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) value was 0.84, and the factor loading of items ranged from 0.328 to 0.849, with six factors of eigenvalue more than one, which could explain 58.274% of the total variance. The confirmatory factor analysis results showed that χ2/DF was 3.556, root-mean-square error of approximation (RMSEA) was 0.077, comparative fit index (CFI) was 0.809, and standardized RMR (SRMR) was 0.070.ConclusionOur study provides evidence that the SDSC-I is reliable and valid, and it is effective for the screening and management of sleep disturbances among infants (aged 6–36 months). Compared with other questionnaires such as the Brief Infant Sleep Questionnaire (BISQ), it is worthy of popularization and application in pediatric primary care.
