EVALUATION OF SLEEP QUALITY IN MOTHERS OF CHILDREN WITH BRONCHIOLITIS OBLITERANS Hasan Yüksel, Dilek Çiftdoğan, Özge Yılmaz, Ayhan Söğüt Celal Bayar University, School of Medicine, Departments of Pediatric Allergy and Pulmonology, Manisa, Turkey.
BRONCHİOLİTİS OBLİTERANS Bronchiolitis obliterans (BO) is an uncommon and severe form of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in children that results from an insult to the lower respiratory tract
ETİOLOGY • In many cases, the etiology is unknown • Known etiologies include mainly infection (adenovirus and mycoplasma pneumoniae) and others such as aspiration syndromes, toxic inhalation, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, lung transplantation, connective-tissue disorders etc less commonly.
SYMPTOMS • Typical symptoms include frequent chronic cough, recurrent wheezing complicated by respiratory distress and exercise intolerance etc. • Nocturnal symptoms as above are frequent and may impair sleep quality in their mothers.
OBJECTİVE • A child with a chronic disease can cause emotional distress and impaired sleep quality in his or her mother. • The aim of this study was to evaluate the quality of sleep in mothers of the children with bronchiolitis obliterans (BO).
METHODS • Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was applied to the mothers. • As the score increases in PSQI, sleep quality decreases. • Study group consisted of 36 mothers with a child who has BO and 62 mothers with healthy children.
RESULTS • The patient group comprised 36 children with a mean (SD) age of 3.57±2.58 years (range 1-12.1 years). • Mean following period of the children with BO was 3.7±2.1 years. • The control group comprised 62 healthy children with a mean (SD) age of 3.85±1.46 year (range 1-8 years).
RESULTS • Total PSQI scores in the mothers of children with BO was significantly higher than those in the mothers of healthy children (p=0.015). • Subjective sleep quality scores of the mothers in the BO group was significantly higher than those of the mothers of healthy children (p=0.015).
RESULTS • Among the mothers in the BO group, frequencies of healthy sleep, bad sleep and chronic sleep disorder were 13.9 %, 38.9 % and 47.2 % while those in the control group were 82.3 %, 14.5 % and 3.2 % respectively.
Pittsburgh sleep quality index scores of the mothers in BO and control groups Ф Pittsburg sleep quality index # Bronchiolitis obliterans * p value was statistically significant less than 0.05
CONCLUSION • In this study, it was found that mothers of children with BO have poor sleep quality. • Therefore, assessment may be needed for the requirement of support regarding sleep quality in them.
