BACKGROUND: Sleep apnea (SA) is a prevalent chronic disease with significant morbidity that negatively impacts a patient's perception of health and quality of life (QoL).
OBJECTIVE: This review synthesized qualitative evidence on the experiences of patients living with SA to understand the disease's impacts on QoL.
METHODS: We performed a systematic review of qualitative studies and searched eight electronic databases from inception dates to 22 September 2020. We analyzed the data using Sandelowski's proposed method of meta-synthesis, and applied Critical Appraisal Skills Program (CASP) and GRADE-Confidence in the Evidence from Reviews of Qualitative research (GRADE-CERQual) criteria to appraise the studies' qualities, and synthesized findings, respectively.
RESULTS: Fourteen qualitative studies met the selection criteria. Four themes and 16 subthemes emerged: (1) sleep-related manifestations (n = 14) with four subthemes (sleep disruptors; sleepiness & napping; fatigue & low energy level; decreased cognition), (2) reduced psychological well-being and functioning (n = 14) with seven subthemes (anxiety & feeling vulnerable; hostility; sadness, sense of hopelessness & depression; embarrassment, shame & diminished self-concept; guilt & self-blame; maladaptive coping; self-stigma, (3) impaired physical and role functioning (n = 13) with three subthemes (reduced activities & routine disruption; reduced sexual activities & desire; reduced job performance & participation), (4) impaired social and relational functioning (n = 13) with two subthemes (strained interpersonal relationships; social isolation & loneliness).
CONCLUSIONS: SA patients experienced sleep-disrupting symptoms and daytime sleepiness/fatigue which adversely impacted physical, psycho-cognitive, and social aspects of their lives in complex interactive ways. This understanding can help facilitate patient-centric care and develop comprehensive patient-reported measures to effect good health outcomes.
