Abstract(s)
Este estudo descritivo transversal teve como objetivo estudar a relação entre os padrões de
sono e a sintomatologia depressiva numa amostra de crianças com obesidade, utentes do
Hospital Santa Maria Maior, EPE Barcelos. A amostra foi constituída por 15 crianças com
obesidade com idades compreendidas entre os oito e os dez anos de idade. Os instrumentos de
avaliação utilizados foram o Questionário sobre o Padrão Sono-Vigília de Crianças (PSCV) e
o Inventário de Depressão para crianças (CDI). Os resultados não evidenciaram uma
prevalência de sintomatologia depressiva na amostra total, como seria esperado. Na amostra
clinica, constituída por 15 participantes sendo que quatro eram do sexo masculino, não se
verificou uma maior prevalência de sintomatologia depressiva no género masculino em
relação ao género feminino como seria de esperar e se apurou junto da revisão bibliográfica.
Não se apurou associação entre a gravidade dos sintomas depressivos nas crianças que
apresentavam problemas de sono. Não se conseguiu apurar relativamente à obesidade, se as
crianças que apresentavam piores padrões de sono, apresentavam também maior
predominância de sintomas depressivos.
This descriptive study aimed to investigate the relationship between sleep patterns and depressive symptoms in a sample of children with obesity from the Hospital Santa Maria Maior, EPE Barcelos. The sample consisted in fifteen children aged between eight and ten years old. The assessment instruments used were the Portuguese Standard questionnaire on the Sleep-Wake of Children’s (PSCV) and the Children´s Depression Inventory (CDI). The results did not show a prevalence of depressive symptomatology of the total sample, as expected. In the clinical sample, consisting of 15 participants, of which four were male, there was not a higher prevalence of depressive symptoms in males compared to females as expected and were found with the literature review. The severity of depressive symptoms was not greater in children who had sleep problems. We were also unable to determine with regard to obesity, whether children who had worse sleep patterns, also presented a higher prevalence of depressive symptoms.
