Parents of chi ldren aged 4-16 years attending the paediatric clinic, USM Hospital from December 2005 to February 2008 were requested to complete the SDSC while awaiting consultation Among 684 children from 8 sub-specialty clinics who completed the SDSC, there were 361 (52.8%) boys. The number(%) of children in each age group was as follows: 6-12 years old (462, 67.5%), 4-5 years old (86, 12.6%), more than 12 years old (136, 19.9%). Sixty-three (9.2%; 95% Cl 7.3% to 11.6%) children had a significant total sleep problem score. The proportion of children with specific sleep disorders were as follows: 64 (9.4%) DIMS, 55 (8.0%) SBD, 31 (4.5%) SWTD, 27 (3.9%) SHY, 31 (4.5%) DA, and 57 (8.3%) DOES. Regression analysis revealed that the frequency of SBD (p=0.01) and SWTD (p=0.03) was significantly different among subspecialty clinics, and children aged more than12 years had a significantly higher prevalence of DOES (p=0.03) than other age groups. No significant gender differences were observed Sleep disorders were relatively high among children attending the paediatric clinic in USM Hospital. Given the impact of sleep disorders on children and families, there is a need for increased awareness of children 's sleep problems in the clinics and community. 2008 Thesis http://eprints.usm.my/52309/ http://eprints.usm.my/52309/1/DR.%20NAZZLIN%20DIZANA%20DIN%20-%2024%20pages.pdf application/pdf en public masters Universiti Sains Malaysia Pusat Pengajian Sains Perubatan
