About this study

Official title: Impact of a Short Educational Video on OSA Patient Satisfaction, Knowledge and Outcomes

The purpose of this study is to determine how satisfied patients are when undergoing an overnight polysomnogram (sleep study), what their knowledge about sleep apnea is, and what factors affect obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) treatment use.

Read the detailed description

The effects of educational interventions on subject compliance, satisfaction, and knowledge of their condition will be examined through the use of video vs pamphlet and MD vs staff contact for follow-up visit reminder.

Being tested

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Enhanced educationOther

    Investigator created video to help educate subject before the in-laboratory split night polysomnogram. The subject will watch the short video immediately prior to the initiation of the in-laboratory polysomnogram.

  • Usual educationOther

    Usual education by American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM)- created educational pamphlets

  • Usual follow upOther

    MD will follow up by phone after the in-laboratory split night polysomnogram

  • Enhanced follow upOther

    Sleep center non-MD staff member will follow up by phone after the in-laboratory split night polysomnogram

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. CPAP Therapy Adherence

    Subject use of CPAP device will be monitored electronically. Subjects will be randomized to educational intervention of either viewing a video or reading a pamphlet prior to in-laboratory split night polysomnogram (sleep study) and initiation of CPAP therapy, and CPAP adherence rates of the two groups will be compared and reported.

    Measured: 30 days post in-lab split night polysomnogram

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Subject compliance with sleep clinic appointment

    Subjects will be randomized to receive a reminder call for follow up clinic appointment either from MD or staff, and the compliance rates of the two groups will be compared based on call type and educational intervention type.

    Measured: within 3 months after the in-laboratory split night polysomnogram

  2. Patient Knowledge About Sleep Apnea and CPAP Therapy

    Subjects will be administered 2 questionnaires which measure knowledge about their condition, both before and after the in-laboratory split night polysomnogram (sleep study). The scores of the two questionnaires will be combined for both test administrations. Subjects will be randomized to educational intervention of either viewing a video or reading a pamphlet prior to sleep study and initiation of CPAP therapy, and the change in the combined questionnaire scores of the two groups will be compared and reported.

    Measured: 1 day post in-laboratory split night polysomnogram

  3. Patient Satisfaction With the in-laboratory split night polysomnogram

    Subjects will be administered 2 questionnaires which measure their mood and well-being, both before and after the in-laboratory split night polysomnogram. The questionnaires will be scored and the scores for each subject will be combined at both testing administrations. On the night of the in-laboratory polysomnogram subjects will be randomized to educational intervention of either viewing a video or reading a pamphlet prior to the initiation of the polysomnogram and initiation of CPAP therapy, and the change in the combined questionnaire scores of the two groups will be compared and reported.

    Measured: 1 day post in-laboratory split night polysomnogram

  4. CPAP Therapy Adherence

    Subjects will be randomized to receive a reminder call for follow up sleep clinic appointment either from MD or non-MD sleep center staff, and the compliance rates of the two groups will be compared based on call type and educational intervention type.

    Measured: 1 month post sleep clinic visit or the date of the missed sleep clinic visit
