对 901 名健康学龄儿童的同睡患病率和预测因素进行了调查。家长关于儿童睡眠习惯问卷和儿童行为检查表的报告用于评估儿童的睡眠和行为问题。在我们的样本中,有 5% 的人存在定期、持久的同床共眠的情况。与独睡者相比,合睡者在儿童睡眠习惯问卷总分以及就寝阻力、睡眠焦虑、夜醒和异态睡眠分量表上的得分更高。合睡者没有发现明显的行为问题。回归结果显示,社会经济地位低、父母一方轮班、单亲家庭、童年时同睡的父母、长时间母乳喂养以及以前和当前的睡眠问题显着预测同睡。父母报告儿童时期同床共枕的高发生率也表明了生活方式的选择。由此看来,同睡似乎反映了父母应对睡眠问题的方式,而这种做法的长期持续可能与家庭的生活方式有关。
The prevalence and predictors of cosleeping were investigated in 901 healthy school-aged children. Parent reports on the Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire and Child Behavior Checklist were used to assess children's sleep and behavioral problems. Regular, long-lasting cosleeping was present in 5% of our sample. Cosleepers rated higher on the Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire total score and Bedtime Resistance, Sleep Anxiety, Nightwakings, and Parasomnias subscales than solitary sleepers. No significant behavioral problems were found in cosleepers. Regression results showed that low socioeconomic status, one parent who is a shiftworker, one-parent families, one parent who coslept as a child, prolonged breastfeeding, and previous and current sleep problems significantly predicted cosleeping. The high incidence of parents reporting having coslept as a child also suggested a lifestyle choice. Thus, cosleeping seems to reflect a parent's way to cope with sleep problems, and the long persistence of this practice may be related to the lifestyle of families.
