Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

The effectiveness of MBI for CPAP adherence.

The primary objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of a mindfulness-based intervention (MBI) in improving CPAP adherence in adolescents with OSA when compared to online peer support. Adherence to CPAP will be measured objectively as hours of usage of CPAP per night.

Time frame: Week 4-12

Secondary Outcomes

The effects of increased adherence on mental, physical, and psychosocial statuses.

Evaluate the effects of increased CPAP adherence on daytime sleepiness, HRQOL, psychosocial functioning and mental health status (e.g. anxiety and depression). This will be measured by administering questionnaires at baseline, before intervention, after intervention and again at follow-up.

Time frame: Week 4-12
