Participants received a one-year health belief model nursing intervention. This included: comprehensive assessment and psychological interventions (Perceived Susceptibility); education on OSAHS risks and consequences (Perceived Severity); weekly weight/blood pressure monitoring, dietary/exercise guidance, sleep posture correction aids, and a daily health diary (Perceived Benefits); and regular phone follow-ups (2-3 times/week for 0-8 weeks post-discharge, bi-weekly up to 1 year) for support and addressing difficulties (Perceived Barriers).

Participants received routine postoperative care for OSAHS for one year, including general education, dietary and exercise guidance. Post-discharge monitoring was conducted via monthly phone calls.
