Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES Sub-optimal use of positive airway pressure (PAP) to treat obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) continues to be a major challenge to effective treatment. Meanwhile, the individual and societal impacts of untreated OSA make effective treatment a priority. Although extensive research has been conducted into factors that impact PAP use, it is estimated that at least half of users do not use it as prescribed. However, the voice of users is notably minimal in the literature. A systematic review and qualitative metasynthesis of PAP user experience was conducted to contribute to understandings of how PAP is experienced and to inform how usage could be improved. METHODS PsycINFO, MEDLINE, CINAHL and EMBASE databases were systematically searched. Primary research findings of adult experiences using PAP that had been inductively analysed were included. Papers were critically appraised using the CASP qualitative checklist to generate a "hierarchy of evidence". Thematic synthesis was then conducted to generate analytical themes. Results were presented in accordance with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA). RESULTS 25 papers reporting on over 398 people's experiences were analysed to generate 4 themes: Journey to PAP, Discomfort from and around PAP, Adapting to and using PAP, and Benefits from PAP. Author reflexivity and vulnerability to bias is acknowledged. CONCLUSIONS The findings highlight the applicability of a biopsychosocial understanding to PAP use. This metasynthesis gave voice to user experiences, revealing barriers to PAP use at a healthcare service level across the world, and suggests ways services can address these barriers.

Abstract
AIMS To explore the narratives of patients about receiving a diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnoea and using a continuous positive airway pressure device. DESIGN A qualitative design with a narrative approach. METHODS Participants with personal experience of using a continuous positive airway pressure device were recruited through purposive sampling. Two women and five men were interviewed in 2017. The data material was subjected to a narrative analysis. RESULTS Two storylines portraying two different trajectories of continuous positive airway pressure use were identified: "A route of devotion" reflects patients experiencing immediate health benefits, which lead to committed use. "A route of negotiations" is characterized by more irregular use, and the perceived benefits were less evident than for those displaying a devoted route. Individuals adjust to a continuous positive airway pressure device differently based on their prior and present life situation and whether use of the device is experienced as an opportunity to regain ordinary life or as an obstacle to maintaining ordinary life.

Abstract
We present a semi-automated system for sizing nasal Positive Airway Pressure (PAP) masks based upon a neural network model that was trained with facial photographs of both PAP mask users and non-users. It demonstrated an accuracy of 72% in correctly sizing a mask and 96% accuracy sizing to within 1 mask size group. The semi-automated system performed comparably to sizing from manual measurements taken from the same images which produced 89% and 100% accuracy respectively.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy is considered the front-line treatment for moderate-severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). However, nonuse rates are very high, such that adherence to CPAP has become a major concern. Although the literature on CPAP use is vast, further research is required to understand patients' experiences of CPAP use and nonuse. This is the goal of this study. METHODS This study draws on in-depth interviews with 61 Jewish-Israeli patients with OSA who received a recommendation to use a CPAP device. The sample includes both patients who started using CPAP devices as well as patients who rejected this course of treatment. It follows principles of constructivist-grounded theory in both sampling and analysis. RESULTS The study shows that regardless of patients' status of adherence, their attitudes toward CPAP devices are characterized by ambivalence. Users of CPAP expressed ambivalent adherence, pondering whether they should stop using the device; and patients who rejected the CPAP expressed ambivalent nonadherence, wondering whether they should give the CPAP another chance. This study identifies the experiences involved in using, as well as not using, CPAP devices that produce patients' ambivalence. CONCLUSIONS Both adherence and nonadherence to CPAP are dynamic processes that are characterized by patients' ambivalence and contingent upon diverse factors. These findings have practical implications as they suggest that all patients, regardless of their initial adherence status, would benefit from a close follow-up.

Abstract
Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) has been shown to be beneficial for patients with respiratory failure; however, many patients fail to tolerate it and require other interventions. The objective of this thematic synthesis was to describe the nature of NIV experiences in adults with hypercapnic respiratory failure. A systematic, computerised literature search of English-language databases was undertaken with no restriction on date of publication. A total of 99 papers was identified and screened for eligibility from databases including CINAHL, Medline and PsycINFO, and some were hand searched. 45 papers were critically appraised and 32 met our inclusion criteria. Thematic analysis identified six key themes: benefits of NIV; fear (of various categories, namely, fear of technology/mask, fear of death and dying, and fear of pain and suffering); adaptation to NIV machine; decision making; need for information; and relationship with healthcare professionals. For people using NIV treatment, the experience of being on the NIV machine is unexpected and can be stressful. Findings from this review offer healthcare professionals insights and understanding into the patient experience of NIV. Healthcare professionals may use these findings to implement new strategies in NIV provision and the exploration of the applicability of age-specific supportive care NIV guidelines.

Abstract
Key points Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is a condition characterised by repetitive, intermittent partial or complete collapse/obstruction of the upper airway during sleep. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is highly efficacious in treating OSA but its effectiveness is limited due to suboptimal acceptance and adherence rates, with as many as 50% of OSA patients discontinuing CPAP treatment within the first year. Until recently, research has focused on examining mechanistic and demographic factors that could explain nonadherence (e.g. age, sex, race and education level) with limited applicability in a prospective or clinical manner. More recent research has focused on personality factors or types of patients with OSA who comply and do not comply with CPAP adherence in an attempt to enhance the accuracy of predicting treatment compliance. Type D personality has been found to be prevalent in one third of patients with OSA. The presence of Type D personality increases noncompliance and poor treatment outcomes due to negative affectivity, social inhibition, unhealthy lifestyle, and a reluctance to consult and/or follow medical advice. Conversely, individuals who are more likely to adhere to CPAP treatment tend to have a high internal locus of control and high self-efficacy, self-refer for treatment, and have active coping skills. By assessing personality and coping skills, the clinician may gain insight into the likelihood of a patient’s adherence to treatment. If the patient displays potential risk factors for CPAP noncompliance, the clinician can offer the patient education, refer them to a support group, engage in behavioural/motivational therapy and undertake regular follow-up visits or phone calls incorporating troubleshooting to increase CPAP adherence, especially in individuals with Type D personality. OSA patients should be assessed for Type D personality to determine likely CPAP compliancehttp://ow.ly/DIbb309cMPH

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a potentially devastating condition that diminishes quality of life and leads to serious consequences without treatment. Diagnosis often is delayed and, once diagnosed, adherence to prescribed therapy tends to be a major barrier to management. This grounded theory study was focused on the experiences of a diverse group of 82 adults who were at various points in the process of obtaining a diagnosis and living with OSA. Participants described being in "limbo" and needing to break through that limbo to be successful at managing their OSA. Results provide new insights into the experience of living with OSA that can be beneficial in promoting treatment and shaping effective management of the condition.

What is known about the experiences of using CPAP for OSA from the users' perspective? A systematic integrative literature review. Sleep Med Rev 2014; 18:357-66. [PMID: 24581718 DOI: 10.1016/j.smrv.2014.01.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 31] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/02/2013] [Revised: 01/08/2014] [Accepted: 01/09/2014] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
UNLABELLED Economic, social and personal costs of untreated obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) are high. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is recommended and cost effective. Increasing OSA prevalence may accompany predicted globally increasing obesity. OBJECTIVE To synthesise international evidence regarding personal experiences using CPAP for OSA. METHODS A systematic integrative literature review was conducted and quality assessment criteria applied. RESULTS 22, of 538, identified papers met inclusion criteria. Thematic analysis identified three themes: 1) users' beliefs about CPAP influence users' experiences of CPAP; 2) CPAP users are primed to reflect negatively on experiences of CPAP; and 3) spouse and family influence users' experiences of CPAP. Personality and attitude impact expectations about CPAP prior to use, whilst engagement of spouse and family also influence experiences. Analysis highlighted that users' reporting of CPAP experiences is constrained by investigator defined assessment methods. Overall, research relating to experiences using CPAP is limited. CONCLUSION Users' perspectives of CPAP are constrained by researchers' concern with non-compliance. Typically experiences are not defined by the user, but from an 'expert' healthcare perspective, using words which frame CPAP as problematic. Family and social support is a significant, but neglected area of experiencing CPAP warranting further investigation. More information from users is required to determine how CPAP can be managed successfully.

Abstract
We conducted a qualitative, multicenter study using a focus group design to explore the lived experiences of persons with any kind of primary sleep disorder with regard to functioning and contextual factors using six open-ended questions related to the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) components. We classified the results using the ICF as a frame of reference. We identified the meaningful concepts within the transcribed data and then linked them to ICF categories according to established linking rules. The six focus groups with 27 participants yielded a total of 6986 relevant concepts, which were linked to a total of 168 different second-level ICF categories. From the patient perspective, the ICF components: (1) Body Functions; (2) Activities & Participation; and (3) Environmental Factors were equally represented; while (4) Body Structures appeared poignantly less frequently. Out of the total number of concepts, 1843 concepts (26%) were assigned to the ICF component Personal Factors, which is not yet classified but could indicate important aspects of resource management and strategy development of those who have a sleep disorder. Therefore, treatment of patients with sleep disorders must not be limited to anatomical and (patho-)physiological changes, but should also consider a more comprehensive view that includes patient's demands, strategies and resources in daily life and the contextual circumstances surrounding the individual.
