Aim: Aim of this study is to evaluate
depression and sleep quality in mothers with children with cerebral palsy and
to investigate relationships between these parameters and sleep problems
children with cerebral palsy.
Methods:
Characteristic
features of children with cerebral palsy, functional levels(gross motor function classification
system), spasticity (Modified Ashworth Scale) were determined. The Children's
Sleep Habits Questionnaire and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and Beck
Depression Inventory II of mothers were evaluated.
Results: Statistical
significant relationship between single mothers and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality
Index(5,61 ± 0,46/ 10,00 ± 2,52; p=0,05), (p: 9,03 ± 1,39/26,33 ± 7,22;
p=0,05), Beck Depression Inventory II and The Children's Sleep Habits
Questionnaire (46,73 ± 1,11/54,33 ± 2,18; p=0,02) were observed. Also, significant
correlations between Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and Beck Depression
Inventory II(r= 0,51, p=0,02), and The Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire
(r=0,45, p<0,01) were observed. Similarly, moderate significant correlation
was observed between Beck Depression Inventory II and The Children's Sleep
Habits Questionnaire.
Conclusion:
Our results indicated relationship between sleep problems of children with
cerebral palsy and mothers and as a consequences of this relationship
predisposition to the depression in mother might be possible. Also, our results
showed that not only sleep problems children with cerebral palsy, but also
sleep and depression mood of mother should be routinely assessed in
mothers .
