METHODS Selected 92 OSAHS patients from the No.4 West China Teaching Hospital, Sichuan University, during Mar.2016 to Mar.2017. At the same time selected 85 subjects without OSAHS as none OSAHS group. Both of them completed the Epworth sleeping scale(ESS) and the Maslach Burnout Inventory-General Survey(MBI-GS). RESULTS 1. In terms of emotional exhaustion, the score of severe-OSAHS group(9.83±6.48) and moderate-OSAHS group(9.8±76.53) were higher than none OSAHS group(6.79±4.39), the difference were statistically significant(P<0.05); 2. In terms of reduced personal accomplishment, the score of severe-OSAHS group(26.00±7.54) was higher than none OSAHS group(22.25±8.33), the difference were statistically significant(P<0.05); 3. In terms of emotional exhaustion, the score of the severe daytime sleepiness group(13.09±6.95) were higher than the none daytime sleepiness group(7.03 ± 5.03), the difference were statistically significant(P<0.05). CONCLUSION With the development of the severity of the OSAHS, the score of emotional exhaustion, reduced personal accomplishment, and the total score of burnout inventory all gets higher, the working ability get descend.
