Adaptive living skills, sleep problems, and mental health disorders in adults with 22q11.21 deletion syndrome.
Research in Developmental Disabilities 2023 March 24
BACKGROUND: 22q11.21 deletion syndrome (22q11DS) is a neurodevelopmental syndrome caused by a microdeletion of genes at the 22q11.21 locus. It has a prevalence of 1:2000. This study investigated the prevalence of adaptive living skills, sleep problems, and mental health disorders in adults with 22q11DS and examined the relationship between these factors.
METHODS: Parents with an adult son or daughter with 22q11DS completed the following: A bespoke Demographic Information Questionnaire, Sleep Questionnaire (SQ-SP), Psychopathology in Autism Checklist (PAC), and Activities of Daily Living (ADL) scale. Descriptive statistics, correlations, and one-way between groups analysis of variance (ANOVA) were conducted.
RESULTS: Mental health difficulties, sleep problems, and low levels of adaptive living skills are prevalent in adults with 22q11DS. Strong positive correlations were identified between sleep problems, depression, and anxiety subscale scores and moderate negative correlations between depression, psychosis, and activities of daily living skills.
CONCLUSION: Adults with 22q11DS need screening and treatment for mental health and sleep problems.
