摘要：
Nasal septum deviation (NSD) can result in sleep disorders. One of the strategies to treat the problem is to perform a nasal operation. The purpose of the present study was to determine and compare NSD patients’ sleep quality and experiences of sleepiness and insomnia before and after surgery. This study was a cross-sectional research design. We recruited and interviewed 110 NSD patients for this study. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), and the Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS) were used to measure sleep quality, sleepiness, and insomnia, respectively. The results demonstrated that the NSD patients had poor sleep quality and that the average PSQI score was 7.26±3.54 (0–21) before the operation. The patients also experienced insomnia, with an average AIS score of 7.55±4.70 (0–24). The mean ESS score, on the other hand, was 8.92±4.24 (0–24). The NSD patients showed significantly improved sleep quality and reduced sleepiness and insomnia after a nasal operation. NSD patients experience poor sleep quality, and insomnia. The results suggest that nasal surgery can improve NSD symptoms that interfere with sleeping, thus helping patients get more quality sleep and reducing their sleepiness and improving insomnia.
