[Abstract] Objective To investigate the causes of sleep disorders in 500 patients after general anesthesia surgery. Methods From January 2021 to December 2022, 500 patients who were treated in our hospital with general anesthesia for surgery were selected, and their sleep quality was investigated and analyzed by questionnaire. The incidence of postoperative Sleep disorder and its causes were identified, and nursing was given. Before and after nursing, the scores of visual analog scale (VAS), Self Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), Self Rating Depression Scale (SDS) and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) were determined. Results The incidence of postoperative sleep disorders was 29.00% in 500 patients after general anesthesia, and the patients were divided into a control group (no postoperative sleep disorders after general anesthesia, n=355) and a study group (postoperative sleep disorders after general anesthesia, n=145) according to the incidence of postoperative sleep disorders. VAS score, SAS score, and SDS score were higher than those of the control group (P < 0.05), and among the 145 patients with sleep disorders, the highest percentage was pain with 17.24%; followed by postural discomfort with 15.86%; followed by psychological problems (13.10%), sleep disruption (11.03%), difficulty in falling asleep (9.66%), medication factors ( 9.66%), early awakening (8.97%), inadequate care (7.59%), and feeling physically uncomfortable after waking (6.69%). Conclusion Pain, postural discomfort, and psychological problems are the main causes of sleep disorders in patients after general anesthesia surgery, and targeted interventions, one-on-one psychological counseling, postural interventions, and pain interventions can significantly improve the sleep quality of patients in clinical practice.
