Sleep health practices and sleep knowledge among healthcare professionals in Dutch paediatric rehabilitation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Sleep disorders are highly prevalent in children with neurodisabilities, yet they seem under-recognized in paediatric rehabilitation settings. The aim of this study was to assess among two groups of healthcare professionals (HCPs) working in paediatric rehabilitation: (1) sleep health practices and (2) knowledge about sleep physiology, sleep disorders and sleep hygiene.

Methods

We performed a cross-sectional sleep survey among medical and non-medical HCPs and the general population. Participants (30 rehabilitation physicians [RPs], 54 allied health professionals [AHPs] and 63 controls) received an anonymous 30-item survey consisting of three domains: (1) general information, (2) application of sleep health practices and (3) sleep knowledge.
