Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is the most common sleep-related breathing disorder, which not only impairs patients' physical and mental health but also affects the sleep of adult patients' partners, leading to decreased sleep quality and quality of life for both partners and causing conflicts in family relationships. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the first-line treatment for OSA, but treatment adherence remains poor. Partner dyadic coping interventions, by providing emotional support, promoting behavioral collaboration, and strengthening partner relationships, not only significantly improve CPAP treatment adherence but also effectively reduce patients' apnea-hypopnea index. This approach serves as an effective auxiliary intervention strategy for CPAP treatment. However, there are currently no CPAP treatment guidelines addressing partner dyadic coping. Therefore, based on dyadic coping theory, this article reviewed the current application status, influencing factors, and intervention strategies of CPAP treatment, aiming to provide a theoretical foundation for implementing partner-centered dyadic coping interventions in China, thereby optimizing treatment adherence for OSA patients, enhancing clinical outcomes, and improving their quality of  life.
