Mit akar kideríteni a vizsgálat

The study aims to introduce a motivational intervention for patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) starting CPAP therapy to improve sleep quality and treatment adherence. It will assess average daily CPAP use and compare subjective sleep quality, daytime sleepiness, disease perception, and quality of life between the intervention group and a control group receiving standard care. Inclusion criteria are adults with OSA capable of understanding Italian; exclusion criteria are minors and those already adapted to CPAP. The experimental group will receive a four-phase motivational intervention, while the control group will follow standard CPAP adaptation without additional support.

• Psychoeducation ProgramA vizsgált kezelés

  The experimental group will receive a motivational psychoeducational intervention consisting of four phases: Phase 1 (Pre-adaptation Psychoeducation): The intervention begins with the pulmonologist's decision for home adaptation to CPAP for the patient diagnosed with OSA. The participant will receive necessary materials and an educational video (25 minutes) within two days before the provider's home visit. Phase 2 (Motivational Interview): After the first night of CPAP use, the participant will have a brief motivational interview via phone. Phase 3 (Psychological Support Interview): One week after the provider's intervention, the participant will have a support interview regarding the adaptation process (40 minutes). This first week is a high-risk period for device abandonment. Phase 4 (Monitoring Interview): Two weeks after the provider's intervention, the participant will have a monitoring interview (30 minutes) to check for any difficulties during the adaptation process.
