Erken Çocukluk Döneminde Uykudan Ağlayarak Uyanma

Amaç: Erken çocukluk döneminde uykudan geceleri ağlayarak uyanma (SRNC) ile ilgili az sayıda çalışma bulunmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, 3 ila 36 aylık çocuklarda SRNC prevalansını belirlemek ve etkileyen faktörleri araştırmaktır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çocuk Sağlığı İzlem Polikliniğine devam eden 3-36 aylık çocukların ebeveynlerine anket uygulandı. Çocukların sosyodemografik özellikleri ve uyku özellikleri değerlendirildi. Çocuklar dört yaş grubuna ayrıldı; Grup 1= 3-5 ay, Grup 2=6-11 ay, Grup 3=12-24 ay ve Grup 4=25-36 aylık çocuklardan oluşturuldu. Bulgular: Tüm grupta SRNC prevalansı %32.8 iken, Grup-1 ve Grup-2’de yaygın olduğu görülmüştür. SRNC’li çocuğu olan ailelerin %43.4’ü bunu “sorun” olarak tanımlamıştır. Grup-1’de emzik kullananlarda, Grup-2’de pijama giyenlerde ve Grup-3’te ebeveynleri ile aynı yatağı paylaşan çocuklarda SRNC anlamlı olarak daha düşüktür. Sonuç: SRNC erken çocukluk döneminde sık görülebilmektedir. Eşlik eden faktörler çocuğun yaşına göre değişmekte ve SRNC iki yaşından sonra önemli ölçüde azalmaktadır.

Sleep Related Nighttime Crying in Early Childhood

Objective: There are few studies about sleep-related nighttime crying in early childhood (SRNC). The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of SRNC and to investigate factors influencing it among 3 to 36-month-old children. Material and Methods: A questionnaire was administered to the parents of 3-36-month-old children visiting a well-child unit. Sociodemographic features and sleep characteristics of the children were evaluated. Children were divided into four age groups: Group 1=3-5 months, Group 2=6-11 months, Group 3=12-24 months, and Group 4=25-36 months. Results: The prevalence of SRNC was 32.8% in the overall group; it was most common in Group-1 and Group-2. Of the families of children with SRNC, 43.4% described it as a “problem.” SRNC was significantly lower among pacifier users in Group-1, children who wore pajamas in Group-2, and children who bedshared with parents in Group-3. Conclusion: SRNC is common in early childhood. Concomitant factors change according to the age of the child, and SRNC significantly decreases after two years of age.
