The Relationship between Sleep Disturbance, Quality of Life and Psychosocial Functioning in Pediatric Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Keywords:
Sleep disturbance, Inflammatory bowel disease, Quality of life, Psychosocial functioning and childrenAbstract
Background: Pediatric patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are at risk for psychiatric symptoms that impact quality of life (QoL) and psychosocial functioning. Sleep disturbance has been reported to impose adverse effects on host defense mechanisms by affecting the magnitude and characteristics of the inflammatory response. The current study sought to assess the relationships among sleep disturbance, QoL, and psychosocial functioning in children with IBD. Methods: Pediatric IBD patients completed multiple measures of sleep and daytime functioning as well as measures of QoL and psychosocial functioning. The parents completed complementary measures of sleep, QoL, and psychosocial functioning. The HRQOL results for subjects with IBD were compared to a healthy control group. Results: Fifty-three children with pediatric IBD and their parents were enrolled in the study. QoL was positively associated with sleep quality, based on significant negative correlations between QoL and both sleep quality and daytime sleepiness scales (r = -0.62, -0.57; p value <0.001, respectively). Patients with CD reported significantly better QoL and psychosocial functioning than patients with UC. The QoL was similar between IBD patients and healthy controls. Conclusions: The present study suggests that a positive association exists between sleep functioning and QoL in pediatric patients with IBD. Patients with pediatric IBD should be screened for sleep disturbance, QoL and psychosocial functioning. Prevention and intervention strategies of sleep disturbance aimed at improving QoL and psychosocial functioning in children with IBD should be developed and evaluated.
