Hábitos de sueño de la población infantil del Grau de Gandía. Un estudio descriptivo / Sleep habits of the children in the Grau de Gandia. A descriptive study

El insomnio es es trastorno de sueño infantil más frecuente y puede aparecer en la edad lactante o en la etapa preescolar, siendo de utilidad para la detección precoz el uso de cuestionarios de sueño, como la versión española del Pediatric Sleep Questionnaire (PSQ). Nos planteamos conocer la prevalencia de los trastornos de sueño en una población de 3 a 6 años del Grau de Gandía, utilizando para ello la versión española del PSQ mediante una encuesta autocumplimentada por los padres de los alumnos de los diferentes colegios. Se ha realizado un estudio descriptivo de corte transversal, recogiéndose 144 encuestas válidas, realizándose la entrada de los datos en una base de datos EXCEL para su posterior descripción. Un 23,4% de los niños presentan insomnio en función de las respuestas dadas, siendo importante la presencia de otras parasomnias como somniloquias (70%), ronquidos (7.2%), bruxismo (22.3%), trastornos por movimientos rítmicos (7.1%) y un 4.1% de los niños presentan síntomas desatencionales independientemente de que se presente o no síntomas de hiperactividad, un 2.08% de las encuestas respondían a un TDHA combinado y un 6.25% sintomatología de hiperactividad-impulsividad. Nuestro estudio proporcióna datos similares a otros estudios poblacionales realizados en el medio escolar, tanto en este rango de edad como en superiores, respecto al insomnio, parasomnias, hábitos de sueño y los TDHA, siendo la etiología más frecuente la falta de educación del hábito de sueño, por lo que el papel de la enfermera es fundamental en la orientación y formación a los padres (AU)

Insomnia is the most common sleep disorder in chilhood and it may occur to unweaned babies or during the infant period. In order to be able to detect as early as possible this disease, it is useful to make sleep questionnaires, such as the Spanish Version of the Pediatric Sleep Questionnaire (PSQ). We considered to know the prevalence of sleep disorders in a population from 3 to 6 years old from the "Grau de Gandia", using de Spanish Version of PSQ by means of an autofilled survey answered by the parents of the students from the different schools. We performed a cross sectional study, collecting 144 valid surveys, performing data entry in a EXCEL database for further description. A 23.4% of the children have insomnia based on the responses and it is significant the presence of other parasomnias such as somniloquy (70%), snoring (7.2%), bruxism (22.3%), rhythmic movement disorders (7.1% ) and a 4.1% of the children have symptoms of attention deficit regardless of havingr or not symptoms of hyperactivity. A 2.08% of the survey responded to a combined ADHD and a 6.25% of the children had symptoms of hyperactivity-impulsivity. Our study provides similar data to other population studies carried out at schools at this age range and also in higher, with regard to insomnia, parasomnias, sleep habits and ADHD, being the lack of education of the habit of sleep the most common etiology, so the role of the nurse is fundamental in the orientation and training for parents (AU)
