Abstract
ABSTRACT
This study was conducted to examine the relationship between parenting practices and sleep habits in school-age children. A cross-sectional, descriptive study was conducted between June - August 2021, with parents who have children 6–12 years old. The research group consisted of 352 parents. The study data was collected using a Personal Information Form, the Parenting Practices Scale, and the Children's Sleep Habits Scale. The average age of the parents was 35.95±5.99, and 71.9% were female. The average age of the children was 8.61±2.07, and 51.4% were girls. Parents scored a total of 164.98±16.03 points from the Parenting Practices Scale and 44.64±7.55 points from the Children's Sleep Habits Scale. A statistically significant, and negative correlation existed between the scores for the Parenting Practices and the Children's Sleep Habits (r:-0.409; p<0.01). As negative parenting practices increased, children's sleep problems increased. Nurses should educate parents regarding positive and negative parenting practices and their effects on children’s sleep habits.
