Abstract :Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of face mask usage on the sleep quality of patients with nasal septal deviation. Material and Method: Thirty-four patients with unilateral nasal septum deviation insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Group 1); and 27 healthy subjects without septum deviation insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Group 2, control); were included in the study. Mask usage time per day insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(hours); in the last week, weight, length and BMI values, smoking, and alcohol habits were asked. In both groups, the sleep quality of the patients was evaluated by Mini Sleep Questionnaire insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(MSQ);. Sleep delay insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(SD);, sleep awakenings insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(SA);, sleep medications insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(SM);, daytime sleep insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(DS);, morning fatigue insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(MF);, habitual snoring insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(HS);, morning awakening insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(MA);, morning headache insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(MH);, chronic fatigue insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CF);, and restless sleep insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(RS);; and total MSQ items were evaluated. Results: All subjects used surgical masks. In the nasal septal deviation group, the right-sided deviation was detected in 15 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(44.1%); patients and left-sided deviation was detected in 19 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(55.9%); patients. Deviation located was anterior deviation in 12 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(35.3%); patients, posterior deviation in 13 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(38.2%); patients and antero-posterior deviation in 9 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(26.5%); patients. Sleep Medications insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(SM); and Morning Headache insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(MH); values of the deviation group insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Group 1); were significantly lower than those in the control group insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p 0.05);. In older patients with septal deviation, Sleep Awakenings insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(SA);, Habitual Snoring insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(HS);, Morning Awakening insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(MA);, and Total MSQ scores increased insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0.05); Conclusion: Facial mask usage did not cause sleep disorders in patients with nasal septal deviation. However, aging may cause disturbed sleep quality.
