Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a common sleep disorder characterized by repeated pauses in breathing during sleep, is effectively treated with positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy. The magnitude of improvements in daily functioning and reduced negative health risks are dependent on maintaining PAP adherence, which is a significant challenge. Evidence-based interventions to improve PAP use are not easily translated to clinical practice because they are labor-intensive and require specialty expertise. Further, to date, individualized care, inclusive of personalized medicine and patient- and person-centered care have been marginally incorporated in the field’s understanding of OSA and PAP adherence. This integrative review describes current PAP adherence assessment processes, interventions to improve adherence, and outlines future opportunities to advance the field, particularly as it relates to individualizing care and the use of implementation science to apply evidence to practice.
