| Classification |
Exploratory: Spinal Cord Injury (SCI)-Pediatric (ages 12 to 18 years old)
|
| Short Description of Instrument |
This is a modified version of the Children's Sleep-Wake Scale, designed to test overall sleep quality among five behavioral dimensions:
Going to bed
Falling asleep
Maintaining sleep
Reinitiating sleep
Returning to wakefulness
The ASWS is associated with the Adolescent Sleep Hygiene Scale (ASHS) which measures sleep inhibiting and facilitating practices.
|
| Scoring |
6-point, Likert-type scale
28 questions, all are self-administered and reported using pencil and paper. 10–15 minutes required for testing.
|
| Rationale/Justification |
Strengths/Weaknesses: There have been many studies examining the psychometric properties of the ASWS in adolescents with and without health conditions. Future studies to assess the psychometric properties in SCI are warranted.
