Adherence to CPAP therapy: comparing the effect of three educational approaches in patients with OSA

To conclude, the results of this study suggest that a

multi-modality educational approach combining individual

and group education using written documentation

and a standardized slide presentation results in an

improved CPAP acceptance and adherence. This opens

perspectives for further research. Perhaps – as shown

by Richards et al. (19) – a similar (individual plus

group) educational session before CPAP start, whether

or not in the presence of their spouse, could further

improve the acceptance and adherence.
