| Research Abstract |
The present study was implemented to investigate relationships between sleep problems in children with severe motor and intellectual disabilities and sleep quality and perceived burden of caregivers. The most common sleep problem was "Problems initiating and maintaining sleep", followed by "Problems with sleep-related movement". Perceived burden on caregivers (Japanese version of the Zarit Burden Interview (J-ZBI)) was significantly higher in caregivers of children with "Problems initiating and maintaining sleep". Sleep quality (Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI)) scores were significantly higher in caregivers of children with "Problems with sleep-related breathing" and "Problems with circadian rhythm". Increased focus on the sleep problems of disabled children is needed, particularly in relation to the sleep quality and perceived burden of caregivers.
