    RESUMEN Antecedentes: Este estudio preliminar examina el papel mediador de la representación de la enfermedad en la calidad de vida relacionada con la salud (CVRS) entre pacientes con apnea obstructiva del sueño (AOS) observantes y poco observantes de la terapia de presión positiva automática en las vías respiratorias (APAP). Método: Se evaluó a un total de 185 pacientes sobre los determinantes del tratamiento APAP, las representaciones de la enfermedad, el afrontamiento familiar y la autoeficacia en T1 (antes del tratamiento APAP) y T2 (1 a 2 meses con tratamiento APAP). Resultados: En cuanto a los determinantes de la APAP, los observantes mostraron mayor autoeficacia, expectativas de resultados e índice de equilibrio decisional en comparación con los poco observantes. Los observantes también mostraron un mayor afrontamiento familiar y CVRS pero menos representaciones cognitivas amenazantes en comparación con los observantes deficientes. Las representaciones cognitivas y emocionales de la enfermedad mediaron la relación entre la autoeficacia/afrontamiento familiar y la CVRS en pacientes observantes. Solo las representaciones cognitivas de enfermedad mediaron la relación entre la autoeficacia y la CVRS en pacientes de baja observancia. Conclusiones: Los resultados destacan la importancia de las representaciones de la enfermedad durante el tratamiento de la AOS en la promoción de la adherencia a la APAP.

    ABSTRACT Background: This preliminary study examined the mediating role of illness representations on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) between adherent and poorly adherent obstructive sleep apnea patients (OSA) to the automatic positive airway pressure (APAP) therapy. Method: A total of 185 patients were assessed on determinants of APAP treatment, illness representations, family coping, and self-efficacy, at T1 (prior to APAP treatment) and T2 (1 to 2 months with APAP treatment). Results: Regarding the determinants of APAP, adherent patients showed higher self-efficacy, outcome expectations, and decisional balance index, compared to poorly adherent patients. Adherent patients also showed higher family coping and HRQoL, but less threatening cognitive representations compared to poorly adherent patients. Illness cognitive and emotional representations mediated the relationship between self-efficacy/family coping and HRQoL, in adherent patients. Only illness cognitive representations mediated the relationship between self-efficacy and HRQoL in poorly adherent patients. Conclusions: The results highlight the importance of illness representations during OSA treatment in the promotion of adherence to APAP.
