Diagnosis and Treatment of Sleep Apnea in Women Veterans
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Acceptance and the Behavioral Changes to Treat Sleep Apnea (ACB-SA) and Non-directive sleep apnea education control for Sleep Apnea. Completed, enrolled 90 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study is a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to test two sleep apnea education programs for women Veterans newly diagnosed with sleep apnea (SA) who are prescribed positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy. This education program is designed to improve participants' sleep quality and help them to adjust to PAP therapy. Participants undergo a sleep and health assessment that is performed prior to beginning the education program. This assessment includes wearing a wrist actigraph to measure sleep and wake periods for 7 days and nights, and answering questionnaires about sleep habits and health. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two 6-week programs (intervention or educational control) provided by a study interventionist. Follow-up sleep and health assessments will be conducted at the end of the 6-week program and 3-months later. PAP usage data will be collected remotely for 6-months from PAP therapy initiation.
