Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Self Efficacy Measure for Sleep Apnoea (SEMSA) questionnaire - this is a 27-item self-administered questionnaire, the results of this may be used to predict those patients who are at risk of poor CPAP usage. Subjects will complete this questionnaire on the night of their CPAP titration sleep study. They will then be telephoned at 2 weeks, seen in CPAP clinic at 4 weeks, telephoned at 2 months and seen in CPAP clinic at 3 months. In the face-toface appointments, information about CPAP adherence will be collected, using a usage meter built into the CPAP pump. This meter measures CPAP usage in hours of use at the set pressure.
The total duration of the observation is therefore 3 months.
