&NA; The rates of sustained use of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy among adults with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) appear consistently suboptimal, despite the efficacy of this treatment. Using semistructured interviews, this study identified facilitators and barriers toward CPAP therapy after treatment initiation among patients with OSA. A purposive sample of eight patients representing extreme differences in CPAP use was recruited from a multisite sleep disorders clinic at a…

Ambivalent Adherence and Nonadherence to Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Devices: A Qualitative Study.

The study shows that regardless of patients' status of adherence, their attitudes toward CPAP devices are characterized by ambivalence, and suggests that all patients, regardless of their initial adherence status, would benefit from a close follow-up.

Does personality play a role in continuous positive airway pressure compliance?

Type D personality and high scores on the depression and hypochondriasis scales on the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) have been identified as factors contributing to non-compliance with CPAP.

Effect of the CPAP-SAVER Intervention on Adherence

With further research and replication of this study in larger samples to determine generalizability, the CPAP-SAVER intervention may provide underpinnings for the eventual development of an OSA-CPAP adherence management protocol.

Experiences of Using Positive Airway Pressure for Treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnoea: A Systematic Review and Thematic Synthesis.

A systematic review and qualitative metasynthesis of PAP user experience gave voice to user experiences, revealing barriers to PAP use at a healthcare service level across the world, and suggests ways services can address these barriers.

Relationships between Comfort and Pain, Anxiety, and Social Support in Acute Respiratory Failure Patients with Non-invasive Ventilator Support

Acute respiratory failure patients with non-invasive ventilator support experienced a moderate level of comfort, and it was related with pain, anxiety and social support, which should be better managed.

CPAP-SAVER follow-up study to determine long-term adherence and associated factors

Focus on CPAP attitude and beliefs and enhanced support early in the obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) treatment trajectory may promote long-term adherence and subsequently reduce the health care burden of OSA disease.

Long-term use of CPAP in patients with obstructive sleep apnea: a prospective longitudinal cohort study

There was no significant difference in long-term CPAP usage between patients who initiated contact themselves and those who were called in and would otherwise have been lost for follow-up, and the only significant variable predicting long- term usage was usage at three months.

Life changes in individuals diagnosed with sleep apnea while accommodating to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) devices.

It is found that Perseverence through tribulations by developing a positive mind-set was the constitutive pattern and rehabilitation nurses should understand the difficulties with CPAP compliance so that they may assist patients with device issues and offer encouragement.

A preliminary study of psychological factors affecting patients' acceptance of CPAP therapy for sleep apnoea syndrome.

The art and science of continuous positive airway pressure therapy in obstructive sleep apnea

Although convincing data exist that treatment with CPAP can alleviate the neurocognitive sequelae of OSA, data on cardiovascular complications are more limited and data on myocardial infarction and cerebrovascular events are currently lacking.

Help-seeking experiences in support groups of individuals with sleep apnea who use CPAP devices are examined, including becoming motivated to persist with help from the group, accommodating to the device, listening and telling stories to gain practical knowledge, and implementing a support group as a caring community.

Improving CPAP use by patients with the sleep apnoea/hypopnoea syndrome (SAHS).

A structured, multidisciplinary, cost-efficient model is suggested, containing educational, behavioural and technological components as basic support, and with high-expertise cognitive-behavioural intervention in more difficult cases of low CPAP use.

Randomized placebo-controlled crossover trial of continuous positive airway pressure for mild sleep Apnea/Hypopnea syndrome.

In 14 patients with AHI in the range 5 to 10, symptoms, cognitive function, psychological well-being and quality of life were improved, and unacceptability of CPAP in many such patients is highlighted.

Claustrophobia and Adherence to CPAP Treatment

This study evaluated the effect of claustrophobia, an abnormal dread or fear of closed spaces, on adherence to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy. The design was a secondary analysis…

Predicting treatment adherence in obstructive sleep apnea using principles of behavior change.

The results from the present study suggest that measures of behavior change predict CPAP adherence at 6 months post treatment when assessed at 1 week and at 3 months posttreatment, but when these measures are assessed at baseline, however, they are not predictive of CPAP use at 6-months.

The Epworth Sleepiness Scale in the Identification of Obstructive Sleep Apnea

The results of the study showed only fair discriminatory ability of the ESS as a screener for OSA, and a score of 8 (instead of 10) is suggested as the cutoff among clinic populations being screened for a sleep disorder.

Night-to-night variability in CPAP use over the first three months of treatment.

Analysis of night-to-night variability and nightly duration of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy over the first 9 weeks of treatment and to determine when patients begin to establish a nonadherent pattern of use revealed that intermittent users continued to report significantly greater OSA symptoms posttreatment, suggesting that they continued to experience sleep disordered breathing.
