Abstract
Introduction: Sleep is one of the basic human needs and plays a significant role in children's health. Its impact on children is often ignored, so the purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between sleep problems and aggression and social skills in preschool children in Yazd city in 1401-401
Method: The descriptive research method was correlation. The statistical population included all pre-school boys and girls aged 5 to 6 years in Yazd city in 56 schools under the supervision of Yazd education center, which were randomly selected using cluster random sampling method from different districts of Yazd city, District 1. was selected and 16 schools (8 boys' schools and 8 girls' schools) were randomly selected from among the 30 schools in district one. Then 192 female students and 192 male students were selected equally. The data were collected using the children's sleep habits questionnaire (parent form) by Owens, Spirito and McGuinen (2000), the preschool aggression questionnaire (parent form) by Vahedi et al. (2007) and Matson's social skills questionnaire (1983). They were collected and analyzed with the statistical method of simple linear regression, simultaneous multiple regression and Z test using SPSS-22 software.
Results: The results of simultaneous multiple regression analysis in the main hypothesis showed that aggression and social skills significantly explain 0.306 of the variance of sleep problems scores. Also, the results of simple linear regression analysis in the first sub-hypothesis indicated that aggression explains 0.313 of the variance of preschool children's sleep problems. In addition, the results of multiple regression analysis in a simultaneous way among the components of aggression, only the physical aggression component could predict 0.438 of the variance of sleep problems scores, but the components of verbal aggression, relational aggression and impulsive aggression The relationship was not significant and these components could not predict sleep problems. In the second sub-hypothesis, the results of simple linear regression analysis showed that 0.277 of the variance of preschool children's social skills is explained by sleep problems, and among the components of social skills, the component of appropriate social behavior, the component Antisocial behavior, and the peer relationship component predicted 0.382 of the variance of preschool children's sleep problem scores. However, the two components of aggression - impulsivity and high self-confidence in having a relationship were not significant and these components were not able to predict sleep problems. And in the third sub-hypothesis, the z-test analysis for comparing the relationship between social skills, aggression and sleep problems of preschool boys and girls showed that there is no significant difference. Thus, there was no difference between the relationship between social skills and aggression with sleep problems in boys and girls.
Discussion: The results indicate that the importance of paying attention to the sleeping habits of preschool children, especially children who have a background of aggression and lack of appropriate social skills, is highlighted for counselors in schools.
