Background: Short sleep duration and poor quality of sleep, increasingly common in our modern society, have many effects on endocrine and metabolic function. Sleep is a major buffer for hormonal release, glucose regulation and cardiovascular function. Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS) is the most common sleep disorder being diagnosed. Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome is a chronic condition that is characterized by repetitive upper airway obstructions resulting in intermittent hypoxia. Objectives: 1. To assess the existing knowledge regarding obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome among obese people. 2. To evaluate the effectiveness of planned teaching on knowledge regarding obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome among obese people. 3. To associate the knowledge scores with selected demographic variables. Material and Method: This study was based on interventional approach. In this study, 80 obese people are included. The setting of the study was selected area of Wardha. Result: The result shows that 58(72.5%) had poor level of knowledge score, 22(27.5%) of them had average level of knowledge score in pretest and in posttest none of them had poor and average level of knowledge, 76(95%) of them had good level of knowledge, 4(05%) of them had very good level of knowledge score. Hence planned teaching was effective, calculated ‘t’ value is more than tabulated value and calculated ‘p’ value was less than accepted level of p=0.05 thus H1 is statistically accepted.Conclusion: Hence it is concluded that planned teaching was found to be effective in improving the knowledge of obese people regarding obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome and obese people having increasing knowledge score after giving planned teaching.
