Obstructive sleep apnea and its association with sleep quality, daytime sleepiness, depression and attention span

| description | Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) has multiple physical and psychosocial effects
on individuals. Therefore, this study aims to determine the sleep quality, daytime
sleepiness, depression and attention span in patients with OSA. This was a
cross-sectional study among patients who were recently diagnosed with OSA
in a Malaysian hospital. The socio-demographic and clinical data, Epworth
Sleepiness Scale, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Patients Health Questionnaire
and Comprehensive Trail Making Test were used as instruments. Findings were
analysed and presented using Chi-Square, One-Way ANOVA and Independent-Sample T-test statistical analyses. Most of the respondents presented with poor
sleep quality and impaired attention span. Approximately, half of the respondents
had excessive daytime sleepiness. There were significant associations between
sleep quality and daytime sleepiness (p-value=0.051), daytime sleepiness with
depression (p-value=0.049) and severity of OSA with depression (p-value=0.026).
Daytime sleepiness was significantly associated with working status (p-value=0.009)
and driving status (p-value=0.033). In conclusion, most patients with OSA had
poor sleep quality, excessive daytime sleepiness, and impaired attention span.
Hence, OSA should be diagnosed and treated early, particularly in patients who
are still working and actively driving. |
