La nueva enfermedad provocada por el virus SARS-CoV-2 ha generado en el mundo un confinamiento cuyo fin es ralentizar el número de contagios y proteger así la vida de las personas; sin embargo, tal aislamiento y el cambio de hábitos han producido considerables efectos en su salud mental. Por consiguiente, el presente estudio tuvo como objetivo determinar los problemas en los hábitos de sueño y su relación con algunas características generadas por la reclusión en una muestra de 259 niños colombianos de 5 a 12 años de edad, residentes en la ciudad de Pasto (Colombia), a través de la aplicación a sus padres del cuestionario Children’s Sleep Habits Questionnaire y de un cuestionario ad hoc para evaluar los cambios en las rutinas diarias, el uso de la tecnología y la emocionalidad en los niños. A este efecto, se hicieron análisis descriptivos de los instrumentos, una prueba de X2 para determinar la influencia de las variables de sexo y nivel socioeconómico, y pruebas de correlación rho de Spearman entre las escalas y subescalas de dichos instrumentos. Entre los resultados más relevantes se halló que 45.5% de los niños mostraban algunos problemas del sueño, siendo las parasomnias y la somnolencia diurna los de mayor prevalencia. Además, se encontraron correlaciones positivas entre los puntajes de las escalas, identificándose también relaciones entre el uso de la tecnología y los cambios emocionales con dificultades del sueño, por lo que se concluye que han ocurrido alteraciones en los hábitos de sueño debidos al confinamiento.

Objective: ADHD affects 11% of children in the United States and is associated with significant levels of anxiety. Although the literature supports mindfulness-based interventions as a promising strategy for managing anxiety, it falls short in the feasibility of digital mindfulness interventions. Method: This study investigated the usefulness of the pediatric version of Headspace, a digital mindfulness program, for reducing stress in 18 children with ADHD. We conducted a 4-week pilot study to evaluate the Headspace digital mindfulness application for children ages 6 to 12 with ADHD. Parents completed the Beck Anxiety Inventory and the Children’s Sleep Habits Questionnaire at baseline and endpoint. Results: Participants had an average age of 9.2 years and were 78% male. The Headspace intervention significantly reduced anxiety and sleep problems in children with ADHD. Conclusion: Children with ADHD and comorbid anxiety and/or sleep problems could benefit from a digitally based meditation application. (J. of Att. Dis. XXXX; XX(X) XX-XX)

Introduction: The Portuguese version of the Children’s Sleep Habits Questionnaire showed adequate psychometric properties in a community sample but the American cut-off seemed inadequate. This study aimed to validate this questionnaire in clinical populations of children with sleep disorders and with attention deficit/ hyperactivity disorder.Material and Methods: The study sample included 148 Portuguese children aged 2 to 10 years old that where divided in 3 groups: 1. Clinical group with sleep disorders (behavioral insomnias, parasomnias or sleep-related breathing disorders); 2. Clinical group with attention deficit/ hyperactivity disorder; 3. Control group. The sleep habits and sleep problems were evaluated using the Children’s Sleep Habits Questionnaire. Sleep-related disorders were confirmed by polysomnography.Results: The questionnaire’s internal consistency (Cronbach α) in the clinical sample (sleep disorders and attention deficit/ hyperactivity disorder) was 0.75 and ranged from 0.55 to 0.85 for the subscales. Children with sleep disorders and attention deficit/  hyperactivity disorder had a higher sleep disturbance index (full scale score) compared to the control group. The subscales presented significant differences between the subgroups with different sleep disorders showing discriminative validity. The receiver operating characteristic analysis of the sleep disturbance index comparing the sleep disorder and control sample determined a cut-off of 48 (sensibility 0.83;specificity 0.69).Discussion: Children with sleep disorders and attention deficit/ hyperactivity disorder evidenced higher Sleep Disturbance Index (full scale score) comparing to the control group. The subscales presented significative differences between the subgroups with different sleep disorders showing discriminative validityConclusion: The Portuguese version of the Children’s Sleep Habits Questionnaire showed adequate psychometric properties for children with sleep disorders and/or attention deficit/ hyperactivity disorder. The cut-off value 48 is better adjusted for the Portuguese population.
