Abstract：Objective To investigate the situation of sleeping hygiene and unhealthy behavioral habits among primary school students in Baoan District of Shenzhen City, to explore their mutual correlation so as to provide a basis for implementing future interventions. Methods A multi-stage sampling method was used to select 1 class from each grade in 20 of 107 primary schools in Baoan District of Shenzhen City, and then mothers of all qualified students of 100 classes were interviewed face to face by questionnaires. The Children’s Sleep Hygiene Scale (CSHS) and the Conners’ Parent Rating Scales-Revised (CPRS-R) were respectively applied to evaluating sleep disorders and unhealthy behavioral habits of the pupils. Results A total of 4,088 pupils were surveyed, and 3,814 valid questionnaires retrieved, with the effective questionnaire rate being 93.29%. There were 2,084 (54.64%) boys and 1,730 (45.36%) girls, and their average age was (8.21±1.37) years. Among the 3,814 pupils, the average scores of sleeping hygiene and unhealthy behavioral habits were (73.18±15.03) and (87.39±28.16) respectively. The score of sleeping hygiene was negatively correlated with that of unhealthy behavioral habits (rp=0.41, P<0.01). The physiology, psychology and cognition of sleeping hygiene were significantly negatively correlated with the 11, 8 and 6 dimensions of unhealthy behavioral habits respectively (all P<0.01); meanwhile, the bedtime routine and sleep stability were significantly negatively correlated with the 4 and 2 dimensions of unhealthy behavioral habits respectively (both P<0.01). Conclusion The sleeping hygiene is negatively correlated with unhealthy behavioral habits among the pupils in Baoan District of Shenzhen City. The poorer the pupils’ sleep quality, the higher the possibility of unhealthy behavioral habits. We suggest that the parents should cooperate with teachers and social organization to cultivate the pupils’ good sleeping habits and improve their sleeping qualities so as to avoid unhealthy behavioral habits and promote their physical and psychological health and growth.
