The present study aimed to evaluate whether patients undergoing an operation for septum deviation exhibited a change in affective status. The temperament evaluation of the Memphis, Pisa, Paris, and San Diego Autoquestionnaire (TEMPS-A) was administered to all patients at the pre-operative and post-operative periods. The mean age of the patients was 32.46 ± 11.22 years. Of the patients, 34 (65.4%) were males and 18 (34.6%) were females. A significant difference was found between pre- and post-operative scores of the patients on all TEMPS-A subscales (p < 0.05). Patients with symptoms of upper airway obstruction may have mood disorders due to the decrease in blood oxygen levels. This condition can be corrected with septoplasty procedure. In the present study, it was demonstrated that patients had a better affective status post-operatively as compared to the pre-operative period.
本研究旨在评估鼻中隔偏曲手术患者的情感状态是否发生变化。在术前和术后阶段，对所有患者进行了孟菲斯、比萨、巴黎和圣地亚哥自陈问卷气质评估（TEMPS-A）。患者的平均年龄为32.46±11.22岁。其中，34名（65.4%）为男性，18名（34.6%）为女性。患者在所有TEMPS-A子量表上的术前和术后得分存在显著差异（p<0.05）。上呼吸道梗阻症状患者可能因血氧水平降低而出现情绪障碍。这种情况可通过鼻中隔成形术得到纠正。在本研究中，结果表明患者术后的情感状态比术前更好。
