Summary Hospitalization decreased self-evaluated sleep quality of the participants with difficulty falling asleep. The sleep of the participants at home was disturbed compared to that of healthy children. Hospitalization, patient characteristics, disease-related, and some psychosocial factors were associated with sleep variables. The medical professionals should develop favorable environments for falling asleep in hospital for individual children. The children with cancer in the early period of hospitalization should be paid attention to. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
