Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This multi-phase, prospective observational project first translates and culturally adapts the Sleep Screening Tool for Children and Adolescents with Complex Chronic Conditions (SCAC) into Turkish using forward/backward translation, expert review, caregiver interviews, and a pilot. Psychometric testing will include exploratory factor analysis, internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha), and test-retest reliability. In a second phase, children admitted to participating PICUs will have continuous actigraphy and bedside light/noise monitoring during hospitalization, with follow-up monitoring at home to compare sleep patterns. The study will also quantify types of sleep problems and relate them to diagnosis, age, sex, medications, devices, and environmental factors within a family-centered framework.
