简要总结
The aims of this study is to primarily investigate fatigue and sleep and to secondarily examine possible relationships between disease activity, pain and functional ability in Turkish children and adolescents with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA).
详细描述
Children with JIA become fatigued easily, experience joint inflammation, pain, limited mobility and report poor sleep quality and daytime sleepiness . It is reported in the literature that children with JIA suffer from poor sleep, parasomnias, daytime sleepiness, sleep fragmentation, cyclic alternating patterns increase, and sleep-disordered breathing compared to healthy children. Sleep was disturbed in almost half of the patients with both JIA and juvenile dermatomyositis, and that sleep disturbance and fatigue were both correlated with disease activity. Increased pain is associated with more sleep disturbance and more fatigue, and these appear to negatively influence quality of life.
So, in this study, fatigue and sleep in Turkish patients with JIA will be investigated by using specific surveys and also secondarily it will be examined possible relationships between disease activity, pain and functional ability in children and adolescents with JIA.

结局指标
主要结局
Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory-Multidimensional Fatigue Scale
时间窗: baseline
Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory-Multidimensional Fatigue Scale" (PedsQL-F) is a valid and reliable tool, and can be used to measure symptom-specific fatigue among patients with JIA . Fatigue symptoms will be assessed by the PedsQL-F which is an 18-item questionnaire and is designed to measure child and parent's perception of fatigue in pediatric patients and comprises the general fatigue scale (6 items), sleep/rest fatigue scale (6 items) and cognitive fatigue scale (6 items). Higher scores indicate higher quality of life.
Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index
时间窗: baseline
Sleep quality will be evaluated with Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). PSQI is a 23 item questionnaire that generates scales reflecting daytime dysfunction, sleep latency, disturbance, duration, quality and efficiency. As the score increases, sleep quality decreases and daytime dysfunction due to sleep quality disorder increases. PSQI is composed of three main scores: total PSQI score, PSQI sub-scores and sleep quality status score. Each component is scored from 0 to 3, leading to a global PSQI score between 0 and 21, with higher scores indicating lower quality of sleep.
