Correlation of early parent-child interaction and sleep time with emotional and behavioral problems in preschool children
Objective To explore the correlation of early parent-child interaction and sleep time with emotional and behavioral problems in preschool children,in order to provide evidence for promoting the development of children's mental health.Methods Children aged 3 years who underwent normal physical examination in Ma'anshan Maternal and Child Health Hospital from January 2019 to May 2020 were selected to collect information about parent-child interaction and sleep status through questionnaires.Emotional and behavioral problems were investigated in patients who came to the clinic for continued medical examination during the period of 5 to 7 years of age.A total of 399 valid questionnaires were collected.Pearson x2 test and Logistic regression were used to analyze the data.Results After adjusting for demographic information,lower score of early parent-child interaction was a risk factor for peer interaction(OR=2.30,95％ CI:1.16-4.58)and emotional and behavioral problems(OR=2.76,95％ CI:1.54-4.95).Children with total sleep time＜12h/d were more likely to have peer interaction(OR=2.26,95％ CI:1.22-4.20)and emotional and behavioral problems(OR=1.73,95％ CI:1.04-2.87).Combined effect showed that children with lower score of early parent-child interaction and sleep time＜12h/d had a higher risk of developing peer interaction(OR=5.30,95％ CI:1.53-18.27),emotional and behavioral abnormalities(OR=6.23,95％ CI:2.15-18.45).Conclusions Poor quality of early parent-child interaction and insufficient sleep time have adverse effects on preschool children's emotional and behavioral problems,which should be given more attention.
