Abstract

This descriptive research aimed to study awareness, knowledge, and risk for obstructive sleep apnea among patients with heart failure. The participants consisted of 354 patients with heart failure who received services at a heart clinic, outpatient department of Maharaj Nakorn Chiang Mai Hospital, McCormick Hospital, Chiang Mai Province, and Lamphun Hospital. The research instruments were composed of the demographic data record form, the awareness and knowledge of obstructive sleep apnea questionnaire with a reliability of .96, and the Berlin Questionnaire with a reliability of .89. Data were collected from December 2019 to May 2020. Statistics used for data analysis included frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation.

The research results revealed that 78.53% of patients with heart failure were not aware of obstructive sleep apnea. Most patients had no knowledge of obstructive sleep apnea on meaning (77.40%), risk factors (79.94%), signs (79.94%), health impact (79.94%), and treatment (79.94%). In addition, 56.50% of patients with heart failure were at low risk for having obstructive sleep apnea.

This research suggests that health care providers should screen risk for obstructive sleep apnea among patients with heart failure as well as provide knowledge and enhance awareness of obstructive sleep apnea.
