Video Summary

This video is a presentation on improving positive airway pressure (PAP) adherence. It is sponsored by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine and presented by Anne Batson and Sarah Freeman. The video discusses the scope of untreated obstructive sleep apnea and the current research on PAP non-adherence. It explores the possible reasons for non-adherence among patients and discusses interventions that can be implemented in practice to improve adherence. The video also includes case studies to demonstrate personalized interventions for individual PAP users. The presenters emphasize the importance of understanding adherence and behavior change in PAP therapy and discuss various theoretical models that predict adherence. They also discuss the various factors that influence non-adherence, including patient-related factors and healthcare professional factors. The video introduces strategies such as motivational enhancement therapy and telemonitoring to improve adherence. It concludes with case studies on high-risk patients and provides strategies to address their unique challenges. Overall, the video aims to provide healthcare providers with tools and resources to improve PAP adherence among their patients.
