Abstract

Objectives: To describe the sleep characteristics of children undergoing maintenance treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Methods: A survey research on 71 children between the ages of 2 and 10 undergoing maintenance treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia, at the Cancer Center of National Children’s Hospital, using the Sleep Habits

Questionnaire (CSHQ) for children aged 5 to 10, and the Short Form Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire (SF-CSHQ) for children aged 2 to 4. Results: 95.8% of children undergoing maintenance treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia had sleep problems. Common problems reported by parents included bedtime resistance, sleep onset delay, insufficient sleep duration, sleep anxiety, and excessive daytime sleepiness. Additionally, almost half of the children (49.3%) had a bedtime routine of watching iPads or phones, with an average screen time of 2.4 ± 0.78 hours. The children also had shorter sleep duration and bedtimes that were later than recommended for their age-related sleep needs. Conclusion: The children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in the maintenance phase face a high prevalence of sleep problems. Therefore, it is crucial to assess and manage sleep issues when treating children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia during the maintenance phase
