As a researcher, Dr. Weaver has been supported with funding from the National Institutes of Health, the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute and the National Institute of Nursing Research. She has produced two notable disease-specific functional status measures, one for chronic pulmonary disorders and the other for sleep disorders. The latter, the Functional Outcomes of Sleep Questionnaire, has become the gold standard for the evaluation of evaluating the impact of treatments for sleep disorders to improve quality of life and; it has been translated into 51 languages and used internationally in clinical trials.

Dr. Weaver earned her BSN at the University of Pittsburgh and her MSN and PhD from the University of Pennsylvania.

Statement of Need

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)-related excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) is about more than being sleepy. OSA-related EDS has been shown to impact work performance, work presenteeism and absenteeism, cognitive dysfunction, physical health, and functioning, occupational and driving accidents, personal relationships, and subsequently health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Despite these burdens, many patients do not seek treatment, often owing to beliefs and attitudes about the need to address these issues with a medical provider in order to seek treatment. Clinicians and patients both need to appreciate the HRQoL and functional impact of OSA-related EDS and thereby the need for early, effective treatment.

Join Drs. Richard Bogan and Terri Weaver as they discuss case 1 of this 3-part CMEO BriefCase series and provide insight into the extensive impact of OSA-related EDS on psychosocial functioning and HRQoL to promote the need for early intervention.
