國立中山大學護理系副教授陳嬿今研究睡眠中心症可能高度與心理上的恐懼、焦慮有關,該研究成果刊登於國際期刊。

持續正壓呼吸器(CPAP)是中重度阻塞性睡眠呼吸中止症第一線的治療方式,但近4成患者在治療初期便放棄使用,其中「窒息感」是主要障礙,國立中山大學護理系副教授陳嬿今研究發現,窒息感不一定源自生理問題,也可能高度與心理上的恐懼、焦慮有關,該研究成果刊登於國際期刊《護理研究與實務》(Nursing Research and Practice)。

陳嬿今表示,全球約有9.36億人受睡眠呼吸中止症困擾,持續正壓呼吸器CPAP可維持上呼吸道暢通,減少睡眠期間呼吸中止及缺氧,儘管療效良好,患者能否長期持續使用,始終是睡眠醫學面臨的挑戰。

研究團隊於2021年8月至2025年2月間,追蹤121名首次使用CPAP的中重度阻塞性睡眠呼吸中止症患者,進行前瞻性混合方法研究,並在兩週試用期間至少進行3次電話訪談,了解患者的使用情況及身心感受,結果顯示,73人(60.3%)達到建議的使用標準,每晚使用至少4小時,每週至少70%的晚上符合此標準,另有48人(39.7%)未達標準。

研究發現當鼻罩、面罩覆蓋口鼻、氣流持續輸入,但患者尚未習慣呼吸時的正壓輔助的感受,或鼻子不通塞住,一旦呼吸不順會引發焦慮與窒息感等不舒適的感受,並進一步影響實際使用行為,可能因擔心呼吸不順,而難以入睡、反覆醒來,忽略影響患者持續使用的重要心理因素。

該研究成果已應用於臨床照護,團隊在個案管理師的照護手冊中,增列治療初期心理狀態的關懷與評估,並提供相應的緩解方法,協助患者逐步適應CPAP治療,有助於協助患者跨越治療初期的適應門檻,讓有效的治療真正融入日常生活。

Crack the code of cancer king’s transformation! Scientists inhibit 1 gene to reverse malignant pancreatic cancer cells

An American research team found that the MYC gene may be an important factor in maintaining the high malignancy of some pancreatic cancer cells. Experiments show that after inhibiting MYC activity, the more aggressive basal cancer cells can transform into the less aggressive classic cancer cells, providing new directions for future treatment strategies.

Health coins give rise to cheers! The number of influenza vaccinations reaches a six-year high, and the number of COVID-19 vaccines also increases by 30%

Director of Disease Control and Prevention Luo Yijun pointed out that this year's "Health Coin" policy has successfully driven an upsurge in publicly funded influenza and COVID-19 vaccinations, reaching a six-year high, and the pneumococcal vaccination rate among the elderly has reached the target two months ahead of schedule. In the second phase, vaccination will be open to adults over 50 years old on November 2.
