本研究旨在瞭解台中市幼兒睡眠習慣與睡眠品質之情形,並探討睡眠習慣與睡眠品質之間的關聯性。採用問卷調查法,以隨機抽樣法抽取816名3至6歲幼兒為樣本,並使用自編「幼兒睡眠習慣及睡眠品質調查問卷」為研究工具。結果:(一)台中市幼兒睡眠困擾的發生率由高至低依序為夢囈、磨牙、單純打鼾、夢魘、夜尿、夜驚、夢遊、睡眠呼吸中止症。(二)有25.4%的幼兒夜間睡眠會中斷1次,幼兒平均夜間睡眠時間為9小時31分鐘,只有11.1%於9點前就寢。(三)不同睡眠姿勢的幼兒在夢囈、夢魘、磨牙困擾和夜間睡眠時數上達顯著差異。(四)不同親子共眠習慣的幼兒在夜尿困擾、起床時間和夜間睡眠時數上達顯著差異。(五)不同床邊安撫習慣的幼兒在夢魘、夜尿、磨牙困擾、單純打鼾和睡眠潛伏期上達顯著差異。台中市幼兒平均夜間睡眠時間不足10小時、只有一成的幼兒於9點前就寢,且幼兒睡眠習慣與睡眠困擾、夜間睡眠時數和睡眠潛伏期有顯著關聯,此結果應受相關單位重視。
