Sleep Apnea Video Education for CPAP (SAVE-CPAP) (SAVE-CPAP)

March 2, 2017 updated by: University of Chicago

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.

Study Overview

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.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Enhanced education and Enhanced follow up
Subjects will watch a short video and will be contacted by an MD by phone
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.
MD will follow up by phone after the in-laboratory split night polysomnogram
Active Comparator: Usual education and Usual follow up
Standard education by American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM)- created educational pamphlets and will be contacted by a sleep center staff member by phone
Usual education by American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM)- created educational pamphlets
Sleep center non-MD staff member will follow up by phone after the in-laboratory split night polysomnogram
Experimental: Enhanced education and Usual follow up
Subjects will watch a short video immediately prior to the initiation of the in-laboratory polysomnogram and will be contacted by sleep center non-MD staff member by phone
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.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
CPAP Therapy Adherence
Time Frame: 30 days post in-lab split night polysomnogram
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.
30 days post in-lab split night polysomnogram

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Subject compliance with sleep clinic appointment
Time Frame: within 3 months after the in-laboratory split night polysomnogram
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.
within 3 months after the in-laboratory split night polysomnogram
Patient Knowledge About Sleep Apnea and CPAP Therapy
Time Frame: 1 day post in-laboratory split night polysomnogram
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.
1 day post in-laboratory split night polysomnogram
Patient Satisfaction With the in-laboratory split night polysomnogram
Time Frame: 1 day post 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.
1 day post in-laboratory split night polysomnogram
CPAP Therapy Adherence
Time Frame: 1 month post sleep clinic visit or the date of the missed sleep clinic visit
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.
1 month post sleep clinic visit or the date of the missed sleep clinic visit
