Latar BelakangKesulitan makan dan gangguan tidur merupakan hal yang umum dijumpai pada anak usia muda yang sehat. Meskipun terdapat kesamaan dalam etiologi, prevalensi dan distribusi usia, hubungan antara keduanya masih sangat jarangditeliti.
TujuanUntuk mengetahui hubungan antara kesulitan makan dengan gangguan tidur pada anak bawah lima tahun (balita) dan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara tingkat pendidikan ibu dengan kesulitan makan.
MetodeStudi cross-sectional dilaksanakan pada bulan April 2013 di 10 sekolah Pendidikan Anak Usia Dini di Kota Medan. Sampel adalah anak balita yang mengalami kesulitan makan berdasarkan kuesioner The Montreal Children’s Hospital Feeding Scale (MCH-Feeding Scale). Anak balita yang tidak mengalami kesulitan makan diambil sebagai pembanding. Kedua kelompok diwawancarai dengan menggunakan kuesioner The Tayside children’s sleep questionnaire (TCSQ) untuk mendeteksi adanya gangguan tidur pada anak. Data dianalisa dengan menggunakan uji chi-squaredan fisher’s exact test.
Hasil 140 anak disertakan dalam penelitian ini, 70 anak dengan kesulitan makan dan 70 anak tanpa kesulitan makan. Gangguan tidur lebih banyak dijumpai pada kelompok kesulitan makan (47.1% vs 27.1%). Hasil analisa chi-square menunjukkan hubungan bermakna antara kesulitan makan dengan gangguan tidur pada anak balita (P= 0.014). Tidak dijumpai hubungan antara kesulitan makan dengan tingkat pendidikan ibu (P> 0.05).
KesimpulanTerdapat hubungan antara kesulitan makan dengan gangguan tidur pada anak balita. Tidak dijumpai hubungan antara tingkat pendidikan ibu dengan kesulitan makan pada anak balita.

Sleep disturbance was found higher in the group with feeding difficulties (47.1% vs. 27.1%).
