Effectiveness of an Intervention Providing Digitally Generated Personalized Feedback and Education on Adherence to Continuous Positive Airway Pressure: Randomized Controlled Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Many people worldwide experience obstructive sleep apnea, which is associated with medical and psychological problems. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is an efficacious therapy for obstructive sleep apnea, but its effect is limited by nonadherence. Studies show that personalized education and feedback can increase CPAP adherence. Moreover, tailoring the style of information to the psychological profile of a patient has been shown to enhance the impact of interventions.

Objective

This study aimed to assess the effect of an intervention providing digitally generated personalized education and feedback on CPAP adherence and the additional effect of tailoring the style of the education and feedback to an individual's psychological profile.
