Behavioural and emotional profiles of children and adolescents with disorders of arousal

<strong>This database includes</strong> the raw data linked with the paper “Behavioural and emotional profiles of children and adolescents with disorders of arousal” In this paper, we explored behavioural and emotional problems in a sample of adolescents with disorders of arousal and their relationship with the severity of episodes. <strong>Methods. </strong>The parents of 41 children/adolescents with a diagnosis of disorders of arousal and age- and gender-matched controls filled in the Child Behavior Checklist, the Sleep Disturbance Scale for Children and the Paris Arousal Disorders Severity Scale. <strong>Results. </strong>Thirty-four percent of the patients obtained pathological total scores, and 12% of them borderline scores. The severity of emotional/behavioural problems in the patient group positively correlated with the severity of the nocturnal episodes. Adolescents with disorders of arousal also obtained higher excessive daytime sleepiness and insomnia symptoms sub-scores at the Sleep Disturbance Scale for Children.本数据库收录了与论文《觉醒障碍儿童青少年的行为与情绪特征》（Behavioural and emotional profiles of children and adolescents with disorders of arousal）相关的原始研究数据。本研究探讨了觉醒障碍青少年样本的行为与情绪问题，及其与发作严重程度的关联。**方法**：本研究共纳入41名确诊为觉醒障碍的儿童/青少年，以及年龄与性别匹配的对照人群，由其家长填写儿童行为检查表（Child Behavior Checklist）、儿童睡眠障碍量表（Sleep Disturbance Scale for Children）与巴黎觉醒障碍严重程度量表（Paris Arousal Disorders Severity Scale）。**结果**：本研究中，34%的患者量表总得分达到病理性异常水平，另有12%的患者得分处于边界临界范围。患者组的情绪/行为问题严重程度与夜间发作严重程度呈正相关。觉醒障碍青少年在儿童睡眠障碍量表的日间过度嗜睡与失眠症状子量表中得分亦更高。
