Abstract Objective To investigate the current status and influencing factors of sleep disorders in school-age children with asthma, providing a scientific basis for improving sleep quality and quality of life of asthmatic children. Methods This study selected school-age children with asthma admitted to the Children's Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from March 2022 to March 2024 as subjects. A questionnaire was used to assess their sleep conditions, and based on the assessment results, the participants were divided into a sleep disorder group (106 children) and a non-sleep disorder group (181 children). Multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify the influencing factors of sleep disorders in asthmatic children. Results A total of 287 asthmatic children were included, of which 106 (36.9%) had sleep disorders. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that being older than 10 years, obesity, poor medication adherence, unhealthy family functioning, passive smoking, and participation in only some physical activities were all risk factors for sleep disorders in school-aged children with asthma (P<0.05). Conclusions The incidence of sleep disorders in school-age children with asthma is relatively high and influenced by multiple factors, including age, obesity, poor medication adherence, unhealthy family functioning, passive smoking, and limited participation in physical activities. To improve the sleep quality and quality of life of asthmatic children, corresponding intervention measures should be implemented targeting these influencing factors.
