To screen psychological problems of patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) by utilizing the psychological symptom screening test Symptom Checklist-90-Revised (SCL-90-R) and to evaluate the effect of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment. The SCL-90-R and Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) test were applied to 66 patients with Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI ≥ 30/h) using CPAP device and 20 healthy individuals; the test results were compared. The age of the patients ranged from 28 to 67 years, and the patient group comprised 54 males (81.8%) and 12 females (18.2%). The AHI scores ranged from 30.05 to 99.80, with a mean of 49.34 ± 21.40. Significant improvement was seen in 6 of the 11 SCL-90-R scores in CPAP-treated patients. The authors conclude that the SCL-90-R test may be appropriate for evaluating the response to CPAP treatment in OSAS patients and monitoring the psychosocial effects of treatment.
