Abstract

Purpose: OSAHS patients' quality of life is significantly impacted by poor sleep. This study examines the mediating role of depression in the relationship between sleep quality and life quality among OSAHS patients.

Patients and methods: Convenience sampling was applied to gather participants at a Chongqing tertiary hospital. Participants filled out questionnaires measuring their quality of life, depression, and sleep quality. Sleep quality was gauged by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), depression was assessed by the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), and quality of life was assessed by the Quebec Sleep Questionnaire (QSQ). Mediation analysis was performed via SPSS PROCESS.

Results: The study found that depressive symptoms (r=-0.705, p<0.01) and sleep quality (r=-0.578, p<0.01) were adversely associated with quality of life in OSAHS patients. Depressive symptoms were found to significantly mediate the relationship between sleep quality and quality of life in OSAHS patients (Bootstrap 95% CI -0.0992, -0.0483), with 49.55% of the effect size attributable to the pathway from sleep quality to depression to quality of life.

Conclusion: Sleep quality and depressive symptoms are important indicators of quality of life in OSAHS patients. Depression serves as a partial mediator (In this study, the mediating factor refers to the element that controls the association between quality of life and sleep quality) in the relationship between sleep quality and quality of life. Interventions aimed at enhancing sleep quality and alleviating depressive symptoms may lead to an improved quality of life for OSAHS patients.

抑郁症在OSAHS患者睡眠质量和生活质量之间的关系

目的：睡眠不良显著影响OSAHS患者的生活质量。本研究旨在探讨抑郁症在OSAHS患者睡眠质量与生活质量关系中的中介作用。患者与方法：在重庆市某三级医院采用方便抽样方法进行调查。参与者填写了调查问卷，测量他们的生活质量、抑郁程度和睡眠质量。采用匹兹堡睡眠质量指数（PSQI）评估睡眠质量，采用患者健康问卷（PHQ-9）评估抑郁程度，采用魁北克睡眠问卷（QSQ）评估生活质量。采用SPSS PROCESS进行中介分析。结果：研究发现抑郁症状（r=-0.705, p）。结论：睡眠质量和抑郁症状是OSAHS患者生活质量的重要指标。在睡眠质量与生活质量的关系中，抑郁起到部分中介作用（本研究中，中介因子是指控制生活质量与睡眠质量关联的因素）。旨在提高睡眠质量和减轻抑郁症状的干预措施可能会改善OSAHS患者的生活质量。
