Abstract:

Objective: To analyze the sleep quality status and influencing factors of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients within one month postoperative. Methods: The convenience sampling method was used for survey questionnaire (including general information questionnaire and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)) in 163 NSCLC patients who underwent thoracoscopic surgery from the Department of Thoracic Surgery of Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital, from January to February 2022. Univariate and multivariate logistic regressions were used to analyze the influencing factors of sleep quality in postoperative patients with NSCLC. Results: Excluding 8 questionnaires that did not meet the inclusion criteria, 155 patients were finally included as the study subjects in the analysis. The results revealed that the score (M(Q1,Q3)) of sleep quality was 8.00 (5.00, 12.00). The prevalence of sleep disturbances was 56.8% (88/155), mainly included frequent nighttime cough (>3 episodes per week)(44.5% (69/155)) and frequent nighttime awakeners (>3 episodes per week)(40.0% (62/155)). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that female, postoperative pain, >7d retention of chest tube were more susceptible to cause sleep disturbance during the postoperative period (OR (95%CI)=2.786 (1.201-6.460), 4.731 (1.881-11.898), and 4.855 (1.010-23.348); P=0.017, 0.001 and 0.049, respectively). Lung segmentectomy appeared to be a protective factor associated with better sleep quality (OR (95%CI)=0.305 (0.101-0.922), P=0.035). Conclusion: Poor sleep quality was prevalent among participants with NSCLC patients within 1 month after surgery. Patients of middle-aged and older female received lobectomy, with >7d retention of chest tube, and suffered postoperative pain had poorer sleep quality, and they should be paid more attention. Individualized nursing measures and health education programs based on patients’ demography characteristics and symptom groups could reduce the incidence of postoperative sleep disorders and improve the prognosis of NSCLC patients.
