Summary: | Objective: Currently, there is a need for research that examines
factors which affect physical activity (PA) participation in Obstructive
Sleep Apnea syndrome (OSAS) patients. The purpose of this study
was to investigate the relationship between the PA level and daytime
sleepiness, fatigue perception, quality of life, and psychological status
in patients with OSAS.
Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study involved 38
patients with OSAS between the ages of 30-60 years. The PA level was
determined using the Turkish version of the International Physical Activity
Questionnaire (IPAQ). Quality of life was evaluated by the Functional
Outcomes of Sleep Questionnaire and Nottingham Health Profile (NHP).
The Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) was used for evaluation of the
sleepiness status. The fatigue perception of the patients was evaluated
by the Fatigue Impact Scale (FIS) and the Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS).
Results: According to IPAQ classification, 44.7% of patients were
inactive. A marked correlation was observed between IPAQ-total score
with ESS score (r =-0.493, p=0.002), Hospital Anxiety and Depression
Scale-Anxiety score (r=-0.338, p=0.041), NHP-social isolation score
(r=-0.406, p=0.013), FIS-physical score (r=-0.404, p=0.013), and FISpsychosocial
score (r=-0.411, p=0.012).
Conclusion: This study showed that the total amount of PA in patients
with OSAS is closely related to excessive daytime sleepiness, anxiety
level, social isolation and effects of fatigue on physical and psychosocial
functions. |
