Weaver Nursing © 2019 Sigma Theta Tau International Purpose: The purpose of this first of two review articles providing an update on sleep disorders was to examine the pathophysiology, epidemiology, and treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). OSA is a common sleep disorder whose prevalence is similar to asthma. As with other sleep disorders, OSA has a broad impact on individuals, affecting their daily behaviors, cognitive abilities, and performance, and putting them at increased risk for accidents, mood disorders, cancer, cardiovascular disease, and hypertension. Thus, early recognition and management, much of which can be implemented by nurses, can reduce health and accident risks and improve daily functioning. Methods: This narrative review utilized medical databases such as PubMed to identify relevant English language original and systematic review articles predominantly from peer-reviewed journals from 2012 to 2018. However, as background, findings from classic articles prior to 2012 were also included. Clinical Relevance: OSA is a common condition with considerable impact on daily functioning and potential for accidents and serious comorbidities such as hypertension, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and depressed mood. The impairments and comorbidities associated with OSA can be reduced through early detection, encouraging treatment, providing education about sleep and OSA, and, importantly, promoting adherence to the predominant therapy, positive airway pressure. 2020-04-02T15:16:45Z 2020-04-02T15:16:45Z 2019-09-01 Journal 15475069 15276546 2-s2.0-85072111662 10.1111/jnu.12489 https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?partnerID=HzOxMe3b&scp=85072111662&origin=inward http://cmuir.cmu.ac.th/jspui/handle/6653943832/68040
