Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) and insomnia are the two most common sleep disorders and are frequent reasons for presentation in Australian general practice.
This article describes the development, content and suggested uses of the online sleep health primary care clinical resource, which provides general practitioners and other primary healthcare professionals with evidence-based information on the aetiology, assessment, management, referral and ongoing care for OSA and chronic insomnia.
The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners-accepted clinical resource for the management of OSA and chronic insomnia in primary care was developed by the Australian National Centre for Sleep Health Services Research. The resource is designed to be used during consultations (eg following the steps in assessment and management and the use of online questionnaires for the assessment of OSA [Epworth Sleepiness Scale/OSA50/STOP-Bang] and insomnia [Sleep Condition Indicator/and Insomnia Severity Index]) and as an education/training tool (eg evidence on the role of continuous positive airway pressure/mandibular advancement splints for management of OSA and brief behavioural therapy for insomnia/cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia for the management of insomnia).
阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停（OSA）和失眠是两种最常见的睡眠障碍，也是澳大利亚普通诊所常见的就诊原因。
本文描述了在线睡眠健康初级保健临床资源的开发、内容和建议用途，该资源为全科医生和其他初级保健专业人员提供了关于 OSA 和慢性失眠的病因、评估、管理、转诊和持续护理的循证信息。
由澳大利亚国家睡眠健康服务研究中心开发的，用于初级保健中 OSA 和慢性失眠管理的经澳大利亚皇家全科医生学院认可的临床资源。该资源旨在用于咨询期间（例如，按照评估和管理的步骤进行，并使用在线问卷评估 OSA[嗜睡量表/OSA50/STOP-Bang]和失眠[睡眠状况指标/和失眠严重程度指数]）以及作为教育/培训工具（例如，关于持续气道正压通气/下颌前伸矫治器治疗 OSA 的作用的证据以及失眠的简短行为疗法/失眠的认知行为疗法对于失眠的管理）。
