Participants of this study were selected from 2 elementary schools in Taichung city. In these two schools, sleep specialist gave a lecture course on sleep disorder health education for schoolteachers and parents. Parents of theses children were filling in the child behavior checklists and the children’s sleep state checklist, and the checklist of Teacher’s report form were being done by the children’s home room teachers. The purpose for filling these checklists were to understand children’s sleep statement, behavior and academic performance. Parental informed consent to participant the sleep examination, and these data which collected by polysomngraphic were compared with children’s behavior.
In this study, 1757 were returned the child sleep state checklist, 1677 were returned the child behavior checklist by parents and 1831 were returned the teacher’s report form by children’s home room teachers. Comparison between the before one-first and after one-first score showed significant difference in children’s sleep breathing problems, snoring, bruxism, roll, sleepwalking, scream, morning headache and daytime sleepiness. In clinic, 138 voluntary children come to the sleep center for an overnight polysomngraphic assessment in a central Taiwan university affiliate hospital. Compared with the non-sleep disordered breathing (SDB)(AHI≦5) and moderate/ sever SDB (AHI≧15) showed significant difference in sleep stage 3 of total sleep times, slow wave sleep, leg movement index (LMI) and desaturation index (DI). Children with moderate/ sever SDB compared non-SDB, the result showed significant difference in withdraw behavior, somatic complain, anxiety/depression, social problem, attention problem and internal behavior. Comparison with forward part of the four-first and posterior part of the four-first child’s academic performance score and snoring, we find that children’s sleep snoring are in association with their society and nature and science technology academic performance.
This research result show that SDB and children’s behavior are in positive correlation but no significant difference in children’s academic performance. For this reason, we hope the findings of this study will promote society and relevant units at schools concerned these problems and get proper treatment.
