Validation of the Mutuality Scale in Patients With OSA and Their Partners

Main objective of this study is to assess the psychometric characteristics of the Mutuality Scale both in patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS) and in their partners-The association between the mutuality score in OSAS patients and their adherence to the use of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) therapy will also be investigated.

The results of the study may allow a validation of the Mutuality Score as an instrument for measuring mutuality between OSAS patients and their partners.
