Introduction: Sleep is an integral part in a child’s health and development. During different stages of development, there are aberrations in normal physiology of sleep which make children more susceptible to various types of sleep problems. This study was conducted to identify sleep pattern and sleep problems in Nepalese children using Nepali translation of Brief Infant Sleep Questionnaire (BISQ) screening tool.Materials and Methods: This was a descriptive cross-sectional study. Data were collected from parents of children aged 6 to 36 months attending paediatric out-patient clinic for general health check-up from July 2013 to December 2013. Nepali translation of the BISQ was used as a screening tool for sleep problems in this study.Results: The study included 553 children (52.4% boys). Mothers completed the questionnaire in 92% of children. Mean total duration of sleep in 24 hours was 11.7 ±1.7 hours. Respondents reported sleep problem in 16.9% of children whereas 20.3% of children had sleep problems according to BISQ criteria. As per this criteria, 2.7% of children had total sleep duration less than 9 hours, 5.9% of children had total night awakening duration of more than one hour, 13.9% of children had night waking >3 times. These BISQ sleep parameters differed significantly in children with and without sleep problems (p<0.001). In addition, children with sleep problem took longer time to sleep than children without sleep problems (p<0.001).Conclusion: Sleep problems are common in Nepalese infants and toddlers according to the BISQ. Screening for sleep problems is highly recommended during health care visits given the prevalence of sleep problems identified by this study to reduce their potential adverse impact.J Nepal Paediatr Soc 2015;35(1):24-30

The decrease of the active presence of toddlers at the posyandu has become a problem for health workers in monitoring the health and development of infants and toddlers in their working areas. This is due to several reasons, one of which is from the mothers who are lazy and do not know what is the benefits they will get when they are taken to the posyandu. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of health education to the active presence of mothers to take their toddlers to posyandu. Methods: This study used a "Pre-Experimental" design. The sample was 30 respondents taken by using purposive sampling technique. The independent variable was health education and the dependent variable was active presence of mother to take their toddler to posyandu. The instrument used health education materials and observations on the respondent's attendance book in the last 8 months. Result: the sattistical Wilcoxon rankTest showed p value = 0.05. This meant that health education affected the active presence of mothers in bringing their toddlers to join the posyandu at Polindes Semen, Gandusari District. Based on the result, it is expected to all mothers to be active in joining Posyandu so that they can get education on how to stimulate and check their children's growth and development. For health workers, the results of this study can be used as an input so that they can improve the provision of counseling during posyandu activities and the target of achieving the presence of infants and toddlers in the areas can be achieved.
