Introdução: Este relatório integra a experiência prática e teórica desenvolvida ao longo do Mestrado em Enfermagem em Saúde Infantil e Pediátrica, realizada em três contextos clínicos: Urgência Pediátrica, Internamento de Pediatria e Unidade de Cuidados Intermédios Neonatais e Pediátricos, numa Unidade Local de Saúde. Inclui ainda uma componente de investigação que aborda a perceção dos pais/cuidadores acerca da higiene do sono em crianças pré-escolares (dos três aos cinco anos).
Objetivos: Descrever os contextos da prática clínica e as atividades desenvolvidas nos ensinos clínicos, refletindo criticamente sobre o seu contributo para o desenvolvimento de competências comuns e específicas do enfermeiro especialista em Saúde Infantil e Pediátrica. Caracterizar os hábitos do sono e a higiene do sono em crianças em idade pré-escolar, bem como a perceção dos pais/cuidadores relativamente à qualidade do sono infantil.
Metodologia: Primeiramente realizou-se uma reflexão crítica dos ensinos clínicos realizados. Em seguida desenvolveu-se um estudo quantitativo, descritivo e transversal, para caracterizar hábitos e perceções dos pais/cuidadores acerca da higiene do sono das suas crianças. A recolha de dados foi efetuada através do Children‘s Sleep Habits Questionnaire – Portuguese version e Brief Infant Sleep Questionnaire – Revised.
Resultados: Verificou-se maior regularidade do ritmo sono-vigilância entre os três e os cinco anos, associada a rotinas de sono consistentes. Contrariamente ao consenso científico, não é evidente a perceção de uma correlação entre o uso de ecrãs e dificuldades em adormecer, perda de qualidade e/ou continuidade de sono. Crianças cujos cuidadores conhecem o conceito de higiene do sono apresentam melhor qualidade de sono, embora mais de metade dos inquiridos refira que o tema raramente foi abordado nas consultas de saúde infantil.
Conclusão: É fundamental reforçar a educação parental acerca do conceito de higiene do sono, direcionando estes esforços para agregados familiares com menor grau de escolaridade, que apresentam menor familiaridade com este conceito.

Abstract Introduction: This report integrates the theoretical and practical experience acquired throughout the Master's Degree in Child and Paediatric Health Nursing, encompassing three clinical contexts: Paediatric Emergency, Paediatric Intensive Care and Neonatology in Local Health Unit. It also includes a research component addressing caregivers’ perception of sleep hygiene in preschool-aged children (three to five years old). Objectives: Describe the clinical practice settings and the activities developed during clinical placements, critically reflecting on their contribution to the development of common and specific competencies of the nurse specialist in Child Health and Paediatric Nursing. Characterise sleep habits and sleep hygiene in preschool-aged children, as well as the perceptions of parents/caregivers regarding the quality of children's sleep. Methodology: Firstly, a critical reflexion on the three clinical contexts was carried out. Then, a quantitative, descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted with the aim of characterizing parents’/caregivers’ habits and perceptions regarding their children’s sleep hygiene. Data were collected using the Children’s Sleep Habits Questionnaire – Portuguese version and the Brief Infant Sleep Questionnaire – Revised. Results: Greater regularity in the sleep–wake rhythm was observed between the ages of three and five years, associated with consistent sleep routines. Contrary to scientific consensus, there is no evident perception of a correlation between screen use and difficulties in falling asleep, or in the quality and/or continuity of sleep. Children whose caregivers are familiar with the concept of sleep hygiene exhibit better sleep quality, although more than half of respondents reported that the topic is rarely addressed during child health consultations. Conclusion: Strengthening parental education and awareness regarding the concept of sleep hygiene is essential. These efforts should be particularly targeted at families with lower levels of educational attainment, as they are the least familiar with this concept.
