Detailed Description:

Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is a common sleep disorders associated with excessive daytime sleepiness and cardiovascular disease. It is prevalent both in populations of western and eastern countries. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy is an effective standard treatment and is widely prescribed for patients with OSA. However, the use of CPAP for such patients is disappointingly low. Low patient CPAP adherence limits the effectiveness of treatment. To determine whether there is a need for an extended education programme for the OSA patient in order to improve CPAP usage.
