Brief summary
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a common sleep disorder which is commonly treated with Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP). Up to 50% of individuals either do not take their CPAP treatments home or are not using them at 6 months. Preliminary data from CPAP patients found significantly increased uptake and usage >4hours each night with a Cognitive behavioural therapy CBT) intervention. Our aim is to compare TAU with the addition of a CBT intervention to TAU with the addition of Social Reciprocity to determine the effectiveness of CBT in improving CPAP treatment acceptance and adherence in OSA sufferers
Interventions
Continuous positive airway pressure treatment (CPAP); a one session group cognitive behavioural therapy intervention to promote CPAP acceptance and adherence, duration approximately 1 hour; and a 1 hour social reciprocity control treatment to assess if time spent with individuals increases CPAP acceptance and adherence.
