Detailed Description
The coronavirus epidemic reached France in January 2020 and the WHO declared the COVID-19 outbreak was a pandemic on 11 March 2020. In response to this pandemic the French government announced national containment starting on 17 March 2020. Some recent studies suggest that a containment duration of more than 10 days and an extension beyond the originally announced duration would increase the psychological impact of it.
Sleep is a vital function that contributes to the proper neurophysiological and psychological development of human beings especially children. Sleep disorders can have a major impact on a child's behavior, mood, cognitive performance and metabolism. Sleep disorders are often associated with depression, anxiety and cognitive changes. Chronic sleep disorders are also risk factors for mental illness To our knowledge, no study targeting the quality of sleep in children who usually receive psychiatric care is underway or has been published. It is essential to ask what the quality of sleep in children with a psychiatric diagnosis who suddenly lose their bearings and their usual daily routine (school, therapeutic groups, day hospitals, etc.) after several weeks of containment.
This study is designed to assess different parameters in the 2 groups of children (healthy volunteers and Child with follow-up in child psychiatry) :
-
the sleep quality,
-
the depression level,
-
the anxiety level,
-
if socio-demographic factors have an influence on sleep disorders,
-
if there is a correlation between children's sleep quality, and anxiety level / sleep quality in their parents.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Comparison of sleep quality during COVID-19 containment between children usually followed in child psychiatry and children without follow-up [An average of 1 day]
Sleep quality is assessed in both groups with the Sleep Disturbance Scale for Children (SDSC scale). A score ≥ 45/125 is considered as pathological.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Assessment of child depression in both groups [An average of 1 day]
Child depression is measured using Child Depression Inventory Scale (CDI scale). For each item the score is graded by severity from 0 (normal behavior) to 2 (severe).
- Assessment of child anxiety in both groups [An average of 1 day]
Child anxiety is measured using Revised Children's Manifest Anxiety Scale (RCMAS). For each item, child answer by Yes or No. The total score is interpreted using the correspondence tables in function of sex and age
- Assessment of the influence of socio-demographic factors on sleep in both groups [An average of 1 day]
Sleep quality is assessed with the Sleep Disturbance Scale for Children (SDSC scale). The score obtained is interpreted in function of socio-demographic factors (age, sex, lifestyle, couple status, profession and socio-professional category, education)
- Measure of the correlation between child sleep quality and parents sleep quality (anxiety level) in both groups [An average of 1 day]
Sleep quality is assessed with the Sleep Disturbance Scale for Children (SDSC scale). For their parents, sleep quality and anxiety level are measured with a numerical scale between 0 and 10. For sleep quality, 0 correspond to a very poor quality and 10 to a very good quality. For anxiety level, 0 correspond to no anxiety and 10 to a severe anxiety. The score obtained for child is interpreted in function of their parents score.
- Assessment of sleep disturbance based on psychiatry diagnoses in the group of children usually followed in child psychiatry [An average of 1 day]

The score obtained is interpreted in function of child psychiatry diagnoses coded with Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5)
