Area of Science:

  • Sleep Medicine
  • Behavioral Science
  • Health Psychology

Background:

  • Poor adherence to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment significantly impacts obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) management.
  • High costs, morbidity, and mortality are linked to non-adherence, presenting a major challenge.
  • Current interventions often overlook the crucial role of spousal support in CPAP use.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To broaden the perspective on CPAP adherence from an individual focus to a dyadic patient-spouse approach.
  • To explore the critical research need for understanding spousal involvement in CPAP adherence.
  • To propose a conceptual framework for analyzing spousal influence on treatment adherence.

Main Methods:

  • This study is a review that synthesizes existing research on CPAP adherence.
  • It proposes a conceptual framework integrating social support and social control theories.
  • It discusses methodologies for future dyadic investigations.

Main Results:

  • Spouses are identified as integral components for successful CPAP adherence interventions.
  • A dyadic perspective is essential for a comprehensive understanding of adherence challenges.
  • Social support and social control theories provide a valuable lens to examine spousal roles.

Conclusions:

  • Future research should adopt a dyadic approach, involving both OSA patients and their spouses.
  • Interventions should be developed to actively engage spouses in supporting CPAP use.
  • Understanding and leveraging spousal involvement can significantly improve CPAP adherence and OSA management.
