To obtain feasibility data on a self-management program to improve adherence with positive airway pressure (PAP) in individuals with newly diagnosed obstructive sleep apnea.
A mixed-methods design assessed program effectiveness and participants' opinions on program ease-of-use. Structured interviews with the treatment group occurred one week and one month after initiation of PAP therapy.
Participants (n = 14) completing the study demonstrated 64% adherence versus 58% of the controls. Ease of use was demonstrated.
The PAP self-management program demonstrated ease of use and was found somewhat effective in improving PAP adherence.
The book was useful in assisting participants by validating information obtained from their providers and developing an understanding of the consequences of not using PAP.
