Motivational Educational Program to Improve Sleep Quality and CPAP Use in Adults with Obstructive Sleep Apnea

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are evaluating a motivational intervention for adults with Obstructive Sleep Apnea OSA who are starting CPAP therapy. The study aims to improve sleep quality and treatment adherence by comparing a special motivational program with standard care. It will measure daily CPAP use and assess differences in sleep quality, daytime sleepiness, disease perception, and quality of life between the two groups. Participants are divided into two groups an experimental group receiving a four-phase motivational psychoeducational program and a control group following standard CPAP adaptation without extra support. The motivational program includes an educational video before starting CPAP, a motivational phone interview after the first night, a psychological support interview one week after starting treatment, and a monitoring interview two weeks after beginning CPAP use. The CPAP adaptation period lasts about 15 to 16 days. Participants will have an initial evaluation with a pulmonologist and complete questionnaires on sleep quality, daytime sleepiness, disease perception, quality of life, and service usability at three time points enrollment, one week post-intervention, and three months later. The study will monitor adherence using average daily CPAP use and evaluate outcomes through validated tools such as the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Epworth Sleepiness Scale, and others. The total participation involves the adaptation period plus follow-up assessments to understand the impact of the motivational program.
