Interventions

Couple-oriented interventionbehavioral

The first session will occur before the patient receives his/her CPAP and will last approximately 2 hours. This session will provide the couple with education on sleep apnea and CPAP and information on different types of PAP therapy and cleaning procedures, explore patient's concerns about starting CPAP treatment, and provide a goal setting exercise. The second face to face session will occur one week after the patient receives his/her CPAP and will last approximately one and a half hours. The second session will provide the couple with information on CPAP usage and pre- and post-treatment AHI, explore barriers to CPAP use and benefits of CPAP use, and provide a goal setting exercise. The individual telephone follow-up sessions will occur two weeks after the patient has received his/her CPAP and will last approximately 20 minutes. This session will review CPAP usage and explore barriers and facilitators of CPAP use.

The second face to face session will occur one week after the patient receives his/her CPAP and will last approximately 45 minutes. The second session will provide information on CPAP usage and pre- and post-treatment AHI, explore barriers to CPAP use and benefits of CPAP use, and provide a goal setting exercise. The telephone follow-up session will occur two weeks after the patient has received his/her CPAP and will last approximately 20 minutes. This session will review CPAP usage and explore barriers and facilitators of CPAP use.

Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP)device

CPAP is treatment for obstructive sleep apnea. CPAP therapy keeps the airway open during the night by providing a stream of air through a mask that is worn while sleeping.
