Abstract：Objective:To explore the influence of health behavior intervention on patients with sleep apnea syndrome(SAS). Methods:62 newly diagnosed patients with moderate and severe SAS(without treatment of continuous positive - pressure ventilation)were randomly divided into the control group(n = 30)and the observation group(n = 32). The patients in the control group were given routine nursing intervention and the patients in the observation group were provided health behavior intervention,the patients′body weight,snoring,drowsi-ness,treatment compliance and quality of sleep were observed in the two groups after 3 months of the intervention. Results:There were sta-tistically significant differences in the comparison of the weight loss,improvement of snoring and sleep quality and treatment compliance of the patients between the two groups(P < 0. 05). Conclusion:The health behavior intervention can reduce the weight of patients with mod-erate and severe SAS and improve their treatment compliance and sleep quality.
