Abstract:Objective To analyze the influence between perceived social support and self-health management level in patients with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) after uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP). Methods A total of 104 patients with OSAHS admitted to Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine from December 2018 to December 2020 were selected as the research subjects, all patients were treated with UPPP, the perceived social support scale (PSPP) and adult health self-management self-rating scale (AHSMSRS) were used to assess the perceived social support and self-health management level of patients one month after operation, and the baseline data of patients were collected, the self-health management ability of patients with different data characteristics was analyzed, the relationship between perceived social support and self-health management level of OSAHS patients after UPPP was mainly analyzed. Results In the PSPP score of 104 OSAHS patients after UPPP, the score of family support dimension was (16.05±4.55) points; the score of friends support dimension was (13.86±3.72) points; and the score of other support dimensions was (15.65±4.08) points; the self-health management level of 104 OSAHS patients after UPPP was general, the average score of AHSMSRS was (115.87±12.41) points, the AHSMSRS score of OSAHS patients with positive coping was higher than that of OSAHS patients with negative coping after UPPP (P < 0.05). Through multiple linear regression analysis, three factors [family support (X1), friend support (X2) and other support (X3)] may be the influencing factors leading to the average self-health management level of OSAHS patients after UPPP (P < 0.05). The equation was as follows: Y = 80.218+0.792X1+0.973X2+0.605X3 (F = 13.078, R2 = 0.282, adjusted R2 = 0.260). Conclusion The perceived social support of OSAHS patients after UPPP may have some influence on their self-health management level.
