Turkish Adaptation of a Sleep Screening Tool for Pediatric Complex Chronic Conditions
Recruiting now
Conditions studied: Chronic Conditions, Pediatric Intensive Care, Sleep Disorder (Disorder), Sleep
In brief
This study aims to adapt the Sleep Screening Scale for Children and Adolescents with Complex Chronic Conditions (SCAC) into Turkish and test its reliability and validity for this population. Children and adolescents with complex chronic conditions (CCC) often have ongoing and multiple health problems. These children often face a high risk of sleep problems, but there are no screening tools in Turkish designed specifically for them. The main goal is to confirm that the Turkish version of the SCAC is accurate and reliable. The study will also look at how common different types of sleep problems are in children with CCC, and how these problems are related to factors such as diagnosis, age, sex, and other medical conditions. Another goal is to compare children's sleep at home with their sleep during a stay in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). The study will also examine how environmental factors (such as light and noise) and medical factors (such as pain, medications, and devices) affect sleep in the hospital. After discharge, sleep recovery will be followed for up to 3 months using sleep diaries and actigraphy (a wearable device that measures movement during sleep).
