Aims: To assess the effectiveness of intervention programs to improve functional outcomes, continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) adherence, daytime sleepiness, and knowledge among obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients. Background: Oxygen desaturations, awakenings, and snoring are symptoms of OSA. Design: Through five databases such as Google Scholar, Science Direct, Web of Science, Medline, and Research Gate. Conclusions: Patients improved their knowledge; CPAP compliance was higher in the intervention group compared to the control group. Regular CPAP utilization can improve functional outcomes and reduce daytime sleepiness. Implication for practice: researchers need to develop educational initiatives appropriate for OSA patients in Malaysia.
