The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect on patient anxiety and first-night effect (FNE) of a video modelling application, which has an important place in behavioural information practices. A total of 232 adolescent and adult patients with suspected obstructive sleep apnea were randomly separated into groups within two age ranges using the sealed envelope method. Group 1 (14–18 years, n: 40) and group 3 (19–65 years, n: 76) were verbally informed about the polysomnography (PSG) procedure. The patients in group 2 (14–18 years, n: 37) and group 4 (19–65 years, n: 79) were shown a training video of PSG procedure. Anxiety levels of the patients in groups 2 and 4 were seen to have significantly reduced, and when these groups were compared, the decrease was seen to be more significant in the adolescent patients (p < 0.001, p = 0.001). No significant difference was determined between the values of total sleep time, REM sleep, and sleep efficiency in the video modelling groups on the 2 days (p > 0.05 for all). There was a difference between the REM latency and sleep latency values on the 2 days, and this was at a low level of significance in the video modelling group. Video modelling was seen to be effective in reducing patient anxiety and it was concluded that it could be used to reduce FNE.

这项研究的目的是评估视频建模应用程序对患者焦虑和第一夜效应（FNE）的影响，该应用程序在行为信息实践中具有重要地位。使用密封包络法将总共232名怀疑阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停的青少年患者和成年患者随机分为两个年龄段的组。第1组（14–18岁，n：40）和第3组（19–65岁，n：76）被口头告知了多导睡眠图（PSG）程序。第2组（14–18岁，n：37）和第4组（19–65岁，n）的患者：79）展示了PSG程序的培训视频。观察到第2组和第4组患者的焦虑水平显着降低，并且与这些组进行比较时，青春期患者的焦虑水平降低更为明显（p  <0.001，p  = 0.001）。在2天的视频建模组中，总睡眠时间，REM睡眠和睡眠效率的值之间没有显着差异（ 所有p均> 0.05）。2天的REM潜伏期和睡眠潜伏期值之间存在差异，在视频建模组中这意义不大。视频建模被认为可以有效地减轻患者的焦虑感，并得出结论，可以将其用于降低FNE。
