Synopsis of recent research by authors named "David P Shaha"
- David P Shaha's research primarily focuses on improving the adherence of U.S. military personnel to positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), addressing both the psychological and behavioral aspects through interventions such as Knowledge, Skills, and Attitudes (KSA) classes.
- Recent studies indicate that while OSA is significantly prevalent in military settings, the low adherence rates to PAP therapy can be mitigated through targeted behavioral interventions, enhancing soldier readiness and performance.
- Additionally, Shaha explores broader sleep-related issues, with findings highlighting the underrecognition and undertreatment of insomnia in primary care settings, emphasizing its impact on overall health and potential to exacerbate cardiovascular and mental health disorders.*
