Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has been tied to chronic conditions, such as obesity. Although continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) device is an effective treatment, device discomfort impacts treatment adherence. Health and wellness coaching (HWC) can increase weight loss (WL) and adherence across other treatment types. This study aims to determine whether participants undergoing an HWC program improve CPAP device usage and WL compared to control group (CG). Participants were randomly selected to participate in the HWC group in conjunction with standard care. The HWC participants were gender, age, weight, CPAP usage (e.g., hours, days), and race matched to CG participants receiving standard care only. Variables collected include demographics (i.e., age, gender), CPAP device usage, and weight across four time points (baseline, 3-, 6-, and 9-months). Paired samples -test and Pearson's coefficient correlation were conducted to determine how outcomes differ between groups. Of 232 participants studied, those in the HWC group significantly increased CPAP usage over time ( < .001) vs CG (6.5 ± 1.8, and 5.0 ± 2.3 hours, respectively). The HWC group had significantly more weight loss (11.0 ± 14.5 lbs.) than CG (5.7 ± 16.1 lbs.) across the 9-month timeline ( < .001). This study provides evidence that HWC can improve CPAP adherence and weight loss.
阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停(OSA)与肥胖等慢性疾病有关。尽管持续气道正压通气(CPAP)设备是一种有效的治疗方法,但设备不适会影响治疗依从性。健康与 wellness 指导(HWC)可以促进体重减轻(WL)并提高其他治疗类型的依从性。本研究旨在确定与对照组(CG)相比,参加 HWC 计划的参与者是否能改善 CPAP 设备的使用情况和体重减轻情况。参与者被随机选择参加 HWC 组并接受标准护理。HWC 参与者在性别、年龄、体重、CPAP 使用情况(如小时数、天数)和种族方面与仅接受标准护理的 CG 参与者相匹配。收集的变量包括人口统计学数据(即年龄、性别)、CPAP 设备使用情况以及四个时间点(基线、3 个月、6 个月和 9 个月)的体重。进行配对样本 t 检验和皮尔逊相关系数分析,以确定两组结果之间的差异。在 232 名研究参与者中,HWC 组随时间推移 CPAP 使用量显著增加(P <.001),而 CG 组分别为(6.5 ± 1.8 小时和 5.0 ± 2.3 小时)。在 9 个月的时间内,HWC 组的体重减轻显著更多(11.0 ± 14.5 磅),而 CG 组为(5.7 ± 16.1 磅)(P <.001)。本研究提供了证据表明 HWC 可以提高 CPAP 依从性和体重减轻。
