Os problemas de sono tĂȘm vindo a ser associados a problemas e competĂȘncias nas crianças. O presente estudo teve como objetivo analisar a relação entre sono e competĂȘncias/problemas reportadas pelos professores, em crianças. A amostra foi constituĂda por um total de 38 alunos, com idades compreendidas entre os 6 e os 9 anos. Os dados de sono foram recolhidos com recurso a actĂgrafia (7 dias/noites) e a questionĂĄrios completados pelos pais (CSHQ). As medidas de competĂȘncias e problemas foram obtidas atravĂ©s do preenchimento de questionĂĄrios (TCRS) por parte dos professores. Observou-se que a Hora de deitar geral estĂĄ associada de forma negativa Ă Assertividade social; e que a Hora de levantar ao fim de semana estĂĄ associada de forma positiva com os Problemas de aprendizagem, e de forma negativa a Bom aluno/Orientação para tarefas. Os Problemas de despertares noturnos, reportados pelos pais, mostraram estar relacionados de forma negativa com a Assertividade social, as AptidĂ”es sociais com os pares e as CompetĂȘncias totais. Tendo em conta que os problemas de sono sĂŁo algo frequentes na população infantil portuguesa, e que os problemas e os hĂĄbitos de sono apresentam associaçÔes com as competĂȘncias/problemas, Ă© importante que estes sejam tidos em consideração e seja procurada a sua resolução e/ou melhoria dos hĂĄbitos de sono.
Sleep problems haven been associated with childrenâs problems and competences. The aim of the present study was to analyze the relationship between sleep and childrenâs problems/competences reported by teachers. Our sample was composed by 38 students, with ages between 6 and 9 years old. Sleep data were collect with actigraphs (used for 7 days/nights) and with parentsâ sleep questionnaires (CHSQ). Teacherâs reports (TCRS) were used to collect problems/competencesâ data. Bed time (general) is negatively associated with Social assertiveness; and Get up time on the weekends is positively associated with Learning problems, and negatively with Good student/Task orientation. Night wakingâs problems, reported by parents, showed to be related in a negative way with Social assertiveness, Peer sociability and Global competences. Considering that sleep problems are somewhat frequents in Portuguese children, and that sleep problems and habits showed to be associated with childrenâs competences /problems, it is important to take these problems/habits into account and to try to solve them and/or create better sleep habits.
