Abstract(s)
Problema: A investigação das perturbações do sono na PHDA ainda não é considerada
avançada, assim como o estudo qualitativo das mesmas, motivo pelo qual deve ser explorado.
A relação entre a PHDA e as Parassónias é uma área ainda pouco desenvolvida actualmente.
Objectivo: estudar as relações entre as perturbações do Sono e a PHDA em crianças entre os 6 e
os 10 anos, previamente diagnosticadas com PHDA por uma Pediatra do Desenvolvimento,
segundo os critérios do DSM-V. Método: Participaram neste estudo pais e mães de 20 (N=20)
crianças entre os 6 e os 10 anos idade que se dirigiram às consultas de Pediatria do
Desenvolvimento e Psicologia da Unidade de Neurodesenvolvimento e Comportamento da
Criança e do Adolescente do Hospital da Luz. Foram utilizados dois instrumentos, as Escalas de
Conners para Pais e o Questionário de Hábitos de Sono (CSHQ), ambos adaptados para a
população portuguesa. Resultados: existe uma forte relação entre as Parassónias e a PHDA e
entre a PHDA e os Distúrbios Respiratórios. Conclusão: o aumento da frequência das
Parassónias (sejam elas Pesadelos, Despertares Confusionais, Bruxismo, Pesadelos, Terrores
Nocturnos, etc.,) reduz os comportamentos de oposição e de hiperatividade; a existência de
Parassónias diminui a instabilidade afectiva e o perfeccionismo nas crianças.
ABSTRACT: Problem: The sleep disorder investigation in ADHD is not considered advanced, along with its qualitative results, therefore this is a reason why it should be explored. The relationship between ADHD and parasomnias is an area currently underdeveloped. Objective: Study the relationship between sleep disorders and ADHD in children aged 6 to 10, previously diagnosed with ADHD by a Developmental Pediatrician, according to the DSM - V. Method: The sample consisted of 20 parents (N = 20) of children between 6 and 10 years old who addressed the queries of Pediatrics and Developmental Psychology Unit of Neurodevelopment and Behavior of Children and Adolescents in Hospital da Luz . Two instruments were used: the Conners Parent Rating Scales and Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ) , both adapted to the Portuguese population . Results: There is a strong relationship between ADHD and parasomnias, as well as ADHD and Respiratory Disorder. Conclusion: increased frequency in parasomnias (whether Nightmares, Confusional Arousals, bruxism, nightmares, night terrors, etc.) reduces oppositional behavior and hyperactivity; the existence of parasomnias decreases affective instability and perfectionism in children.
