ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the sleep pattern of children and adolescents with chronic conditions during hospitalization and correlate it with resilience, quality of life, clinical and sociodemographic data. METHOD: Quantitative, descriptive and cross-sectional study. Data collection took place between May 2022 and January 2023, with children and adolescents with chronic conditions from two hospitals in Rio de Janeiro. The instruments used were the Actigraph, Sandra Prince-Embury's Resilience Scale for Children and Adolescents and the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory. Data analysis involved descriptive statistics and correlation tests. RESULTS: 40 hospitalized children and adolescents between the ages of nine and 18 took part. The results showed compromised sleep, especially in terms of duration and time awake after sleep onset. Quality of life scores were low and resilience levels were classified as medium to high. Correlations were found between resilience and sleep. In addition, sleep was influenced by diagnosis and treatment. CONCLUSION: Children and adolescents hospitalized with chronic conditions experience significant sleep disturbances and have a low quality of life, but have satisfactory levels of resilience.

Sleep is of vital necessity for health, and it has a restorative and protective function for children and adolescents with chronic conditions and their families. The purpose of this study was to identify the scientific production on sleep patterns in children and adolescents with chronic conditions and their families. This integrative review was conducted between March and June 2022 using the databases of MEDLINE, Web of Science, CINAHL and PsycINFO. The articles included were original papers published between January 2007 and mid-2022. Excluded were review studies that did not evaluate sleep and whose participants did not have chronic conditions or were not children, adolescents and/or their families. The searches returned 814 abstracts. After exclusions, 47 studies were selected to be read in full; of these, 29 were selected and were grouped empirically into four categories: major alterations in the sleep patterns of children and adolescents with chronic conditions; the relationship between sleep disorders and symptoms in children and adolescents with chronic conditions; the impaired sleep patterns of families of children and adolescents with chronic conditions; and sleep alterations and their relationship with other problems in families of children and adolescents with chronic conditions. All studies showed sleep pattern impairment in children and adolescents with chronic conditions as well as their families.

RESUMEN Objetivo: Evaluar el patrón de sueño de niños y adolescentes con enfermedades crónicas durante la hospitalización y correlacionarlo con la resiliencia, la calidad de vida y los datos clínicos y sociodemográficos. Método: Estudio cuantitativo, descriptivo y transversal. La recolección de datos se realizó entre mayo de 2022 y enero de 2023, con niños y adolescentes con condiciones crónicas de dos hospitales de Río de Janeiro. Los instrumentos utilizados fueron el Actigraph, la Escala de Resiliencia para Niños y Adolescentes de Sandra Prince-Embury y el Inventario Pediátrico de Calidad de Vida. El análisis de los datos incluyó estadística descriptiva y pruebas de correlación. Resultados: Participaron 40 niños y adolescentes hospitalizados de entre 9 y 18 años. Los resultados mostraron un sueño comprometido, especialmente en términos de duración y tiempo despierto tras el inicio del sueño. Las puntuaciones de calidad de vida fueron bajas y los niveles de resiliencia se clasificaron entre medios y altos. Se hallaron correlaciones entre la resiliencia y el sueño. Además, el diagnóstico y el tratamiento influyeron en el sueño. Conclusión: Los niños y adolescentes hospitalizados con enfermedades crónicas experimentan alteraciones significativas del sueño y tienen una baja calidad de vida, pero presentan niveles satisfactorios de resiliencia.
RESUMO Objetivo: Avaliar o padrão de sono de crianças e adolescentes com condições crônicas durante a hospitalização e correlacioná-lo com resiliência, qualidade de vida, dados clínicos e sociodemográficos. Método: Estudo quantitativo, descrito e transversal. A coleta de dados ocorreu entre maio de 2022 e janeiro de 2023, com crianças e adolescentes com condições crônicas de dois hospitais do Rio de Janeiro. Os instrumentos utilizados foram o Actigraph, Escala de Resiliência para Crianças e Adolescentes de Sandra Prince-Embury e Inventário Pediátrico de Qualidade de Vida. A análise dos dados envolveu estatística descritiva e teste de correlação. Resultados: Participaram 40 crianças e adolescentes hospitalizados entre nove e 18 anos. Os resultados mostraram sono comprometido, principalmente nos quesitos duração e tempo acordado após início do sono. Os escores para qualidade de vida foram baixos e níveis de resiliência classificados entre médio e alto. Foram encontradas correlações entre resiliência e sono. Além disso, o sono foi influenciado pelo diagnóstico e pelo tratamento. Conclusão: Crianças e adolescentes hospitalizados com condições crônicas vivenciam importantes distúrbios do sono e possuem baixa qualidade de vida, mas apresentam níveis satisfatórios de resiliência.
