Abstract
OBJECTIVES The EQ-5D-5L may not adequately capture the health-related quality of life in patients with sleep disturbances. We examined the psychometric properties of a hybrid PROM comprising a module of four sleep-related bolt-ons and EQ-5D-5L. METHODS We employed a sequential exploratory mixed method by first qualitatively testing the face validity of "sleep", "cognition", "tiredness" and "relationship" and refining these bolt-ons through in-depth interviews with 23 patients and clinicians. We then quantitatively assessed their performance by administering the four bolt-ons, appended to EQ-5D-5L, and three condition-specific patient-reported outcome measures (cPROMs) during two clinical visits of patients with respiratory-related sleep disorders. We compared ceiling effects and construct validity of EQ-5D-5L with and without the bolt-ons by testing a priori hypotheses about the cPROMs and polysomnographic characteristics via correlation and areas under the curves (AUC) analyses, respectively. We examined their responsiveness among "treated/improved" participants using standardized response means (SRM) and AUC analysis, and reliability among "untreated/no change" participants using intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) or Cohen's Kappa (k). RESULTS 110 participants (mean [SD] age: 47[13]) were recruited and 90 returned for their review assessments (mean [SD] interval: 2.2 [2.1] months). The bolt-ons led to a reduction of 42.7% in ceiling effects. The bolt-ons were better correlated with cPROMs and exhibited higher discriminatory power and responsiveness, with comparable reliability to EQ-5D-5L. A combined module of the four bolt-ons provided better results than individual bolt-ons. CONCLUSIONS A "hybrid" PROM of sleep bolt-ons module added to EQ-5D-5L improved its psychometric properties among patients with sleep disturbances.

The Association Between Circadian Disruption in Core Body Temperature Rhythm and Post-Chemotherapy Sleep Disturbances in Breast Cancer Survivors. J Sleep Res 2025:e70080. [PMID: 40296750 DOI: 10.1111/jsr.70080] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/01/2025] [Revised: 04/15/2025] [Accepted: 04/17/2025] [Indexed: 04/30/2025]
Abstract
Sleep disturbance is a common symptom experienced by approximately 70% of breast cancer survivors and persists after the conclusion of chemotherapy. This study aimed to quantify the circadian disruption of the core body temperature (CBT) rhythm and its correlation with sleep disturbance following chemotherapy. In a sample of 25 breast cancer survivors, CBT was measured using an ingestible thermometer pill to calculate the relative amplitude (RA) prior to chemotherapy. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was employed to assess global sleep quality at three time points: prior to the commencement of chemotherapy, at 1 month (T1) and 9 months (T2) following the conclusion of chemotherapy. Subjective and objective sleep latency (SLs and SLo) were measured using the PSQI and actigraphy, respectively. The lower RA group exhibited higher intradaily variability of CBT and a higher average temperature of the lowest 5-h period in comparison to the higher RA group. The lower RA group exhibited lower global sleep quality than the higher RA group at both time points (T1 and T2). SLs in the lower RA group were significantly longer compared to the higher RA group at both time points. Furthermore, the discrepancy in SL (∆SLs-SLo) demonstrated a notable between-group difference at both time points. The findings of this study suggest that breast cancer survivors with pronounced circadian disruption of the CBT rhythm prior to chemotherapy are more prone to sleep disturbances following chemotherapy. Additionally, prolonged SLs may be a contributing factor to their poor sleep quality. Trial Registration: clinicaltrials.gov: NCT04364347.

Li Y, Zhang J, Hu D, Gao L, Huang T. Which specific modes of exercise training are most effective for breast related cancer fatigue? Network meta-analysis. Front Oncol 2025; 15:1491634. [PMID: 40078193 PMCID: PMC11897559 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2025.1491634] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/05/2024] [Accepted: 02/03/2025] [Indexed: 03/14/2025] Open
Abstract
Objective The objective of this study was to examine the impact of various exercise modalities on Cancer-Related Fatigue (CRF) among breast cancer patients. Methods A computerized search was conducted on databases including PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CNKI, VIP, and Wanfang Database up to October 2023. Selection criteria were applied to include or exclude studies, resulting in the inclusion of 65 articles for comparison of the effects of 12 distinct exercise interventions on individuals with breast cancer. Results The 65 studies used 12 different measures of exercise. Network meta results show that Compared with Other exercise (OE), Baduanjin exercise (BE), Qigong (QG), Control group (CG), Tai Chi (TC) improved significantly in CFR. The effect of Yoga (YG) on improving sleep quality is better than Control group (CG) and Baduanjin exercise (BE). Compared with Control group (CG), Tai Chi (TC) and Yoga (YG) are more beneficial to improve the quality of life of breast cancer patients. Tai Chi (TC) is better than Multimodal exercise (ME), Other exercise (OE), Baduanjin exercise (BE), Pilates exercise (PE), Yoga (YG), Qigong (QG), Dance exercise (DE), Qigong (QG) in improving depression in breast cancer patients. Conclusion The study revealed that Tai Chi demonstrates positive effects in ameliorating CRF, enhancing quality of life, and alleviating depressive symptoms among breast cancer patients. Moreover, yoga exhibits favorable effects in improving sleep quality in this patient group. Nevertheless, additional randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are warranted in the future to delve deeper into the effectiveness and underlying mechanisms of these exercise interventions.

Abstract
PURPOSE To estimate the longitudinal association between resilience and sleep quality in patients with newly diagnosed breast cancer within the first 6 months. METHOD Between July 2023 and September 2023, 155 newly diagnosed BC patients were recruited to participate in the Be Resilience to Breast Cancer program (Abbreviated as BRBC). They completed the 10-item Connor-Davidson Resilience scale and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index Scale. The following three timepoints were set to collect the data, including 1 month after initial diagnosis (T0), 3 months (T1), and 6 months (T2). Data were analyzed using Cross-lagged Panel Model (CLPM), and Parallel Latent Growth Model (PLGM). RESULTS Excluded questionnaires with a large number of missing items and finally 125 patients were included, with the response rate of 83.3%. CLPM indicated that resilience at T1 predicted PSQI at T2 (r = -0.168, P < 0.001), and PSQI at T1 predicted resilience at T2 (r = -0.112, P< 0.001). PLGM demonstrated that changes in resilience was significantly associated with changes in PSQI (r = -0.874, P< 0.001). CONCLUSION A longitudinal association between resilience and sleep quality was confirmed in patients with newly diagnosed breast cancer. Resilience was a protective factor in the development of sleep quality.

Abstract
PURPOSE Sleep quality contributes to the improvement of quality of life in cancer patients. However, sleep disturbances, of variable and heterogeneous etiologies, are common and frequently overlooked in lung cancer patients. The present study undertakes a rapid review of available peer-reviewed literature on sleep quality in lung cancer patients, specifically non-small-cell lung cancer patients. DESIGN MEDLINE, Embase, and CENTRAL online databases were used to identify 513 published articles from which 26 publications were selected through abstract and title screening, full-text review, and quality assessment. RESULTS Most publications (96.15%) involved observational studies, including 12 cross-sectional studies, 6 longitudinal studies, and 6 descriptive comparative studies. Sleep quality was assessed using either subjective or objective measures or both. Sleep disturbances were found in 45-97% of patients. Poor sleep efficiency and frequent night-time awakenings were consistently reported, whereas discrepancies were found concerning sleep duration and sleep latency. CONCLUSION Our rapid review of the literature confirms that sleep disorders, which impair quality of life, remain frequent and often neglected in this patient population. Assessment of sleep quality in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer should be the subject of further studies into how to better identify and characterize them to implement appropriate therapeutic strategies, using a global approach to improve quality of life despite the underlying cancerous disease.

Abstract
Background The incidence of insomnia in cancer patients is significantly higher than in the general population. Chronic insomnia imposes pronounced physical and psychological burdens on cancer patients, affecting their quality of life and survival rate. This study aims to investigate insomnia in cancer patients and further analyze potentially related factors. Methods Oncology outpatients treated at Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center were consecutively recruited. Demographic information and clinical features, such as type of cancer and treatment status, were collected. Insomnia was assessed using the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI). Results A total of 146 patients participated in the study, with the majority suffering from breast tumors (40.4%), gastrointestinal tract tumors (18.5%), and endocrine tumors (5.8%). Among these patients, 25 (17.1%) did not report insomnia, 69 (47.3%) had subclinical insomnia, and 52 (35.6%) reached the level of clinical insomnia. Older patients aged 41-50 years (Estimate = -3.49, 95% CI, -6.99 to 0.00, p = 0.05) and those with higher education levels (Estimate = -2.72, 95% CI, -4.88 to -0.55, p = 0.01) were less likely to have higher ISI total scores. In contrast, undergoing chemotherapy (Estimate = 3.86, 95% CI, 0.53 to 7.19, p = 0.02) was associated with higher ISI total scores. Gender, age, education, treatment modalities correlated with ISI subitem scores. Conclusion The prevalence of insomnia is higher in oncology patients and is associated with gender, age, education, tumor type, and treatment modality. Screening and interventions for insomnia should be emphasized in the whole-course management of oncology patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this meta-analysis of current studies was to assess the efficacy of electroacupuncture for cancer-related insomnia. METHODS A comprehensive search was conducted encompassing randomized controlled trials examining the efficacy of electroacupuncture in treating cancer-related insomnia across CNKI, VIP, Wang Fang, PubMed, Embase, Cochrane library, and Web of Science, with a search deadline of December 26, 2023. The Cochrane manual's risk-of-bias evaluation was used for quality assessment, while Stata 15.0 was used for the data analysis. RESULTS Eight randomized controlled studies involving 537 individuals were finally included. Meta-analysis results suggested that electroacupuncture improved total sleep time [SMD = 0.68, 95% CI (0.31, 1.06)], sleep efficiency [SMD = 1.26, 95% CI (0.02, 2.50)], and reduced Pittsburgh sleep quality index [SMD = -0.44, 95% CI (-0.63, -0.25)], insomnia severity index [SMD = -1.23, 95% CI (-1.88, -0.58)], and sleep onset latency [SMD = -0.76, 95% CI (-1.36, -0.15)] in cancer patients. CONCLUSION Based on the current study, we found that electroacupuncture may have a better effect on insomnia in cancer patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Cancer patients frequently report sleep problems. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) is a 19-item instrument for assessing sleep problems. The main objective of this study was to analyze the usefulness of the PSQI in oncological research. METHODS A sample of 1,733 cancer patients with mixed diagnoses were included. In addition to the PSQI, the following questionnaires were adopted: the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), the Jenkins Sleep Scale (JSS) and the sleep scale of the EORTC QLQ-SURV100. RESULTS The internal consistency of the PSQI was α = 0.79. Of the PSQI subscales, the subjective sleep quality correlated most strongly with the other sleep instruments (r between 0.68 and 0.77). In total, 69.2% of the sample were poor sleepers; the effect size of the difference between the PSQI total scores of the patients and a general population sample was d = 0.83. Female patients experienced more sleep problems than male patients (d = -0.49), and younger patients (<60 years) reported more sleep problems than older patients (≥60 years) (d = 0.21). CONCLUSIONS The PSQI can be recommended for use in clinical practice since its sub-dimensions provide detailed information on the sleep situation of cancer patients.

Abstract
Background The sleep diary and wrist-worn actigraphy are widely used to assess sleep disturbances in patients with primary brain tumors (PwPBT) in both clinical and research settings. However, their comparability has not been systematically examined. This study aimed to compare the sleep-wake patterns measured using the subjectively measured Consensus Sleep Diary (CSD) and the objectively measured ActiGraph (AG) actigraphy among PwPBT. Methods Sleep-wake patterns were assessed through CSD and AG over 14 consecutive nights across 2 occasions among 30 PwPBT. AG data were processed with AG proprietary and open-source GGIR (GGIR-based approach without the aid of sleep log algorithms), both with and without the assistance of CSD. Thirteen sleep parameters covering sleep-wake times, sleep disruptions, sleep durations, and sleep efficiency were compared using equivalency testing, mean absolute percent error (MAPE), and intra-class correlation. The estimated sleep parameters were correlated with perceived sleep quality and compared across the different sleep measures. Results Significant between-measure equivalency was claimed for sleep-wake time parameters (P ≤ .05), with acceptable MAPEs (<10%). Sleep disruption parameters such as wake-after-sleep-onset were not statistically equivalent, with a large MAPE (≥10%) between the measures. Sleep efficiency was equivalent, though varied depending on how sleep efficiency was calculated. For most sleep parameters, ICCs were low and unacceptable (<0.50) suggesting incomparability between the measures. Lastly, CSD-derived sleep parameters exhibited a stronger correlation with perceived sleep quality compared to actigraphy measures. Conclusions The findings suggest the incomparability of sleep parameters estimated from different measures. Both subjective and objective measures are recommended to better describe sleep health among PwPBT.

Abstract
Objective To describe characteristics of sleep (quality, duration, efficiency, and insomnia) in a cohort of high-grade epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) survivors who have completed and responded to first-line chemotherapy, and to explore their relationships with disease recurrence. Methods In this cohort of 97 women, sleep and other factors were assessed at baseline and 4 months later. The distribution of participants by categories of sleep characteristics were calculated. Hazard ratios (HRs) and 95 % confidence intervals (95 % CI) for the association between each sleep characteristic and recurrence were estimated using the Cox proportional hazards model, and adjusted for confounding using propensity scores. Associations were estimated for all women and among those defined as fully platinum-sensitive. Results At baseline, just over half of participants (52.6 % to 56.7 %) had poor sleep quality, efficiency and duration, while most (62.9 %) did not experience insomnia. Distributions remained similar 4 months later. During follow-up, 47 recurrences occurred. Among all participants, HRs (95 % CIs) of recurrence were close to the value of 1, indicating no association, for sleep quality and efficiency, 1.22 (0.66-2.23) for not meeting vs. meeting sleep duration guidelines and 0.68 (0.34-1.39) for the presence vs. absence of insomnia. In fully platinum-sensitive women, the HRs (95 % CIs) were 1.50 (0.64-3.53) for not meeting duration guidelines, 1.25 (0.56-2.79) for poor sleep efficiency, 1.44 (0.55-3.72) for the presence of insomnia, and remained null for sleep quality. Conclusion Most EOC survivors have poor sleep quality, duration, and efficiency. Research with larger sample sizes is required to better understand the relationship between these sleep characteristics and the risk of recurrence.

BMC Cancer 2024; 24:1456. [PMID: 39592977 PMCID: PMC11600600 DOI: 10.1186/s12885-024-13181-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/10/2024] [Accepted: 11/11/2024] [Indexed: 11/28/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Cancer survivors face many challenges in long-term health management, including malnutrition, systemic inflammation, and sleep issues, which significantly affect their survival and quality of life. METHODS A prospective cohort study was derived from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 2005-2018 harboring 1,908 cancer survivors (weighted population, 11,453,293), of whom 688 deaths (220 from cancer mortality, 468 from non-cancer mortality). The Advanced Lung Cancer Inflammation Index (ALI) was used as a measure of nutritional status and systemic inflammation in cancer patients. Weighted multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression models were utilized to explore the independent and combined effects of ALI and sleep quality on mortality outcomes. RESULTS The participants with a high ALI were more likely to be female, aged 40 to 64 years, non-Hispanic white, and have a higher BMI. We observed that elevated ALI levels were associated with decreased risks of all-cause mortality (Hazard ratio [HR] = 0.601, 95% Confidence interval [CI] = 0.521-0.695, P < 0.001), cancer-specific mortality (HR = 0.659, 95% CI = 0.497-0.870, P = 3.34 × 10-3) and non-cancer-specific mortality (HR = 0.579, 95% CI = 0.478-0.701, P < 0.001). Similarly, better sleep quality (e.g., without sleep troubles) was associated with lower risks of all-cause mortality (HR = 0.761, 95% CI = 0.620-0.933, P = 8.79 × 10-3) and non-cancer-specific mortality (HR = 0.713, 95% CI = 0.572-0.890, P = 2.80 × 10-3). Notably, the joint analysis showed that cancer survivors with higher ALI levels and better sleep quality (e.g., standard sleep duration) had the lowest risks of all-cause (HR = 0.468, 95% CI = 0.352-0.622, P < 0.001), cancer-specific mortality (HR = 0.631, 95% CI = 0.333-0.672, P = 7.59 × 10-3) and non-cancer-specific mortality (HR = 0.440, 95% CI = 0.315-0.615, P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS This study suggests that better nutritional and inflammatory status, combined with good sleep quality, may contribute to improved survival among cancer survivors. These results underscore the potential clinical importance of integrating nutritional and sleep quality assessments into the long-term care of cancer survivors to enhance their overall prognosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with head and neck cancer often experience impaired sleep. Moreover, the treatment may negatively affect sleep quality. The aim of this observational study was to evaluate the sleep quality after treatment for head and neck cancer, and its relationship with quality of life and psychological distress. METHODS A total of 151 patients who underwent treatment for head and neck cancer at our department were included in the study. Quality of life, sleep quality, risk of sleep apnea, sleepiness, pain, and psychological distress were assessed by means of specific questionnaires. RESULTS The median follow-up was 30 months. Poor sleep quality was observed in 55.6% of the cases. An association between PSQI global sleep quality and EORTC global health status was found. The DT, HADS anxiety, and HADS depression scores were associated to PSQI global score, sleep quality, sleep latency, sleep disturbances, and daytime dysfunction. CONCLUSIONS Sleep disturbances, particularly OSA and insomnia, are frequent in HNC patients, and significantly impact their quality of life and psychological well-being. Given the effect of sleep on overall well-being, addressing sleep disorders should be a priority in the care of HNC patients.

Abstract
Background Sleep plays a crucial role in neuroplasticity and recovery from brain injury, particularly in disorders of consciousness (DoC), including unresponsive wakefulness syndrome (UWS) and minimally conscious state (MCS). Traditional sleep monitoring methods like polysomnography (PSG) are complex and often impractical for long-term use in clinical settings. Target This study aimed to explore the utility of the Bispectral Index (BIS) as a more practical alternative for monitoring sleep patterns in DoC patients. Methods We conducted simultaneous PSG and BIS monitoring on 38 DoC patients (19 UWS and 19 MCS). The study focused on analyzing sleep timing distribution, the effectiveness of BIS in differentiating sleep stages, and its correlation with consciousness levels. Results Our findings revealed that DoC patients exhibited irregular and fragmented sleep patterns, necessitating extended monitoring periods. The BIS effectively differentiated various sleep stages, with significant differences in BIS values observed across these stages. However, BIS values did not show significant differences between UWS and MCS patients, indicating that BIS primarily indicates wakefulness rather than cognitive awareness. DoC patients have disturbed sleep-wake cycles that require prolonged monitoring. BIS can well distinguish sleep stages in DoC patients, and the distribution of values is similar to that of normal subjects. However, BIS could not distinguish the level of consciousness of DoC patients. Conclusion The study demonstrates the potential of BIS as a practical tool for long-term sleep monitoring in DoC patients, offering a less intrusive alternative to traditional methods.

Abstract
Background Sleep-wake disturbances are common and disabling in primary brain tumor (PBT) patients but studies exploring longitudinal data are limited. This study investigates the feasibility and relationship between longitudinal patient-reported outcomes (PROs) and physiologic data collected via smart wearables. Methods Fifty-four PBT patients ≥ 18 years wore Fitbit smart-wearable devices for 4 weeks, which captured physiologic sleep measures (eg, total sleep time, wake after sleep onset [WASO]). They completed PROs (sleep hygiene index, PROMIS sleep-related impairment [SRI] and Sleep Disturbance [SD], Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire [MEQ]) at baseline and 4 weeks. Smart wearable use feasibility (enrollment/attrition, data missingness), clinical characteristics, test consistency, PROs severity, and relationships between PROs and physiologic sleep measures were assessed. Results The majority (72%) wore their Fitbit for the entire study duration with 89% missing < 3 days, no participant withdrawals, and 100% PRO completion. PROMIS SRI/SD and MEQ were all consistent/reliable (Cronbach's alpha 0.74-0.92). Chronotype breakdown showed 39% morning, 56% intermediate, and only 6% evening types. Moderate-severe SD and SRI were reported in 13% and 17% at baseline, and with significant improvement in SD at 4 weeks (P = .014). Fitbit-recorded measures showed a correlation at week 4 between WASO and SD (r = 0.35, P = .009) but not with SRI (r = 0.24, P = .08). Conclusions Collecting sleep data with Fitbits is feasible, PROs are consistent/reliable, > 10% of participants had SD and SRI that improved with smart wearable use, and SD was associated with WASO. The skewed chronotype distribution, risk and impact of sleep fragmentation mechanisms warrant further investigation. Trial Registration NCT04 669 574.

Abstract
PURPOSE Patients with lung cancer endure the most sleep problems. Understanding the prevalence and risk factors of sleep disturbances in lung cancer populations is critical in reducing symptom burden and improving their quality of life. This systematic review aimed to determine the prevalence and risk factors of sleep disturbances in patients with lung cancer. METHODS Seven electronic databases were systematically screened for studies on the prevalence or risk factors of sleep disturbances in patients with lung cancer. Subgroup analyses were conducted to investigate significant heterogeneity (I2 > 50%) across studies. RESULTS Thirty-seven studies were found eligible. The pooled prevalence was 0.61 (95% CI = [0.54-0.67], I2 = 96%, p < 0.00001). Seven risk factors were subject to meta-analyses. Significant differences were found for old age (OR = 1.23; 95% CI = [1.09-1.39], p = 0.0006,I2 = 39%), a low education level (OR = 1.17; 95%CI = [1.20-2.66], p = 0.004, I 2 = 42%), fatigue (OR = 1.98; 95%CI = [1.23-3.18], p = 0.005, I 2 = 31%), pain (OR = 2.63; 95% CI = [1.35-5.14], p = 0.005, I 2 = 91%), tumor stage of III or IV (OR = 2.05; 95%CI = [1.54-2.72], p < 0.00001, I 2 = 42%), anxiety (OR = 1.62; 95%CI = [1.22-2.14], p = 0.0008, I2 = 78%), and depression (OR = 4.02; 95% CI = [1.39-11.61], p = 0.01, I2 = 87%). After the included studies were withdrawn one after the other, pain (OR = 3.13; 95% CI = [2.06-4.75], p < 0.00001, I 2 = 34%) and depression (OR = 5.47; 95% CI = [2.65-11.30], p < 0.00001) showed a substantial decrease of heterogeneity. Meanwhile, the heterogeneity of anxiety symptoms remained unchanged. CONCLUSION Results showed that sleep disturbances were experienced in more than 60% of patients with lung cancer. The comparatively high prevalence of sleep disturbances in this population emphasizes the need to adopt measures to reduce them. Significant associations were found between sleep disturbances and various factors, including age, education level, fatigue, pain, cancer stage, anxiety, and depression. Among these factors, depression emerged as the most significant. Future research should concentrate on identifying high-risk individuals and tailored interdisciplinary interventions based on these risk factors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Numerous physical and psychological symptoms experienced by cancer patients seriously affect their normal lives. Many academics and medical professionals have attempted to use aromatherapy in this situation to help cancer patients manage their physical and emotional problems. OBJECTIVE To systematically investigate the efficacy of aromatherapy on physical and psychological symptoms in cancer patients. METHODS A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials was performed. Four electronic databases were searched. The review process followed a registered priori review protocol and was reported using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis guidelines. Data extraction and quality assessment were performed in parallel. RESULTS Twenty-six studies with 2912 subjects were included. Meta-analysis showed that aromatherapy significantly improved sleep quality, fatigue, anxiety, and depression. We performed a subgroup analysis according to the different plant or animal aromatics contained in the oil, which found that lavender oil significantly reduced preoperative anxiety. In addition, aromatherapy massage was superior to inhaled aromatherapy in reducing anxiety. Moreover, cancer patients who used aromatherapy reduced the frequency of vomiting in 24 hours. CONCLUSIONS Aromatherapy is a useful treatment for improving sleep quality and reducing symptoms of fatigue, anxiety, and depression in cancer patients, as well as the frequency of vomiting over 24 hours. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE Healthcare providers can use aromatherapy to alleviate psychological and physical symptoms in cancer patients. The use of lavender oil and massage is recommended in clinical settings to improve anxiety symptoms in cancer patients.

Abstract
Background Insomnia is one of the most common symptoms among breast cancer patients, which can be present throughout all stages of breast cancer. As a non-pharmacological alternative treatment, acupuncture has been suggested to improve sleep situations in patients with cancer suffering from insomnia. However, there is a lack of well-designed, high-quality clinical evidence regarding the efficacy of acupuncture in the treatment of breast cancer-related insomnia. This study is conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of acupuncture treatment for breast cancer-related insomnia. Methods This study was designed as a multicenter, randomized, sham-controlled clinical trial. A total of 264 eligible patients with breast cancer-related insomnia will be randomized into an acupuncture group and a sham acupuncture group in a 1:1 ratio. In the trial, patients in the acupuncture and sham acupuncture groups will receive 12 sessions over a consecutive 4-week period. The primary outcome will be the treatment response rate of Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) at week 4; secondary outcomes include treatment remission rate of ISI, Sleep Efficiency (SE) obtained by the use of Sleep diary, treatment response rate of ISI at 8th and 16th weeks of follow-up, the mean changes of ISI, Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale (GAD-7), Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), Quality of Life Questionnaire - Core 30 (QLQ-C30), sleep parameters recorded in Actigraphy and weekly usage of remedial drugs. Adverse events will be recorded throughout the study. All analyses will be based on the ITT principle and performed with SAS 9.4 statistical software. Discussion This trial will evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of acupuncture for breast cancer-related insomnia. If proven effective, acupuncture will provide an effective option for patients with breast cancer-related insomnia, which will play a positive role in helping patients reduce their use of sleeping medications.

Abstract
PURPOSE Frailty is a complex age-related clinical condition among older adults. Quality of life (QOL) among older adults with frailty is an important topic of interest. The current cross-sectional study aimed to develop a structural equation model to identify factors affecting QOL. METHOD A total of 180 older adults with frailty were recruited from general units in two hospitals in Fuzhou, China. Data were collected using the World Health Organization Quality of Life Brief Version, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Geriatric Depression Scale-15, and Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire. Structural equation modeling was used to analyze data. RESULTS The final model exhibited a good fit. Poor sleep quality was associated with depression, passive coping style, and poor QOL. Depression was also associated with poor QOL. Passive coping style was associated with better QOL. CONCLUSION This study demonstrated that sleep quality has direct and indirect effects on QOL of older adults with frailty through depression and passive coping style. Recommendations are that care providers pay attention to biological and physiological variables, symptom status, and functional status of older adults with frailty. This study also provides a theoretical basis for developing interventions that may lead to improvements in QOL among older adults with frailty.

Tian Y, Wang YL. Resilience provides mediating effect of resilience between fear of progression and sleep quality in patients with hematological malignancies. World J Psychiatry 2024; 14:541-552. [PMID: 38659599 PMCID: PMC11036458 DOI: 10.5498/wjp.v14.i4.541] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/19/2024] [Revised: 02/19/2024] [Accepted: 03/28/2024] [Indexed: 04/17/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Hematological tumors are common malignant tumors, with high morbidity and mortality rates. Most patients with hematological malignancies develop sleep disorders that seriously affect their life and health because of acute onset of disease, rapid progression, high recurrence rates, complex treatment methods, and treatment costs. AIM To explore the mediating effect of resilience on fear of disease progression and sleep quality in patients with hematological malignancies. METHODS A cross-sectional analysis of 100 patients with hematological malignancies, treated in the First Affiliated Hospital of Jinzhou Medical University between August 2022 and August 2023, was conducted. Patients were assessed using a general data survey, a simplified scale for the fear of progression (FoP) of disease, a resilience scale, and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Statistical analysis was conducted to determine the relationship between various patient characteristics and FoP, resilience, and sleep quality. Spearman's correlation analysis was used to examine the correlations between mental resilience, FoP, and sleep quality. RESULTS The total FoP score mean value in patients with hematological malignancies was 38.09 ± 5.16; the total resilience score mean value was 40.73 ± 7.04; and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index score mean value was 10.72 ± 1.90. FoP, resilience, and sleep quality of the patients were associated with family per capita monthly income and patient education level (P < 0.05). Spearman correlation analysis revealed that FoP was negatively correlated with resilience and sleep quality scores (r = -0.560, -0.537, P < 0.01), respectively, and resilience was significantly associated with sleep quality scores (r = 0.688, P < 0.01). Mediation analysis showed that the mediating effect of resilience between FoP and sleep quality in patients with hematological malignancies was -0.100 and accounted for 50.51% of the total effect. This indicated that FoP directly and indirectly affected sleep quality through the mesomeric effect of resilience. CONCLUSION Resilience is an intermediary variable between FoP and sleep quality in patients with hematological malignancies. Medical staff should evaluate and follow-up FoP and resilience to implement measures to improve sleep quality.

Abstract
PURPOSE The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions in the US since March 2020 on cancer survivorship among Black and Hispanic breast cancer (BC) survivors remains largely unknown. We aimed to evaluate associations of the pandemic with participant characteristics, patient-reported outcomes (PROs), and lifestyle factors among Black and Hispanic BC survivors in the Women's Circle of Health Follow-Up Study and the New Jersey BC Survivors Study. METHODS We included 447 Black (npre = 364 and npost = 83) and 182 Hispanic (npre = 102 and npost = 80) BC survivors who completed a home interview approximately 24 months post-diagnosis between 2017 and 2023. The onset of the pandemic was defined as March 2020. The association of the pandemic with binary outcomes was estimated using robust Poisson regression models. RESULTS Hispanic and Black BC survivors recruited after the onset of the pandemic reported higher socioeconomic status and fewer comorbidities. Black women in the post-pandemic group reported a higher prevalence of clinically significant sleep disturbance (prevalence ratio (PR) 1.43, 95% CI 1.23, 1.68), lower sleep efficiency, and lower functional well-being, compared to the pre-pandemic group. Hispanic women were less likely to report low health-related quality of life (vs. high; PR 0.62, 95% CI 0.45, 0.85) after the onset of the pandemic. CONCLUSIONS Ongoing research is crucial to untangle the impact of the pandemic on racial and ethnic minorities participating in cancer survivorship research, as well as PROs and lifestyle factors. IMPLICATIONS FOR CANCER SURVIVORS This study highlights the importance of considering the impact of the pandemic in all aspects of research, including the interpretation of findings.

Effects of resistance training on sleep quality and disorders among individuals diagnosed with cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. Cancer Med 2024; 13:e7179. [PMID: 38650577 PMCID: PMC11036080 DOI: 10.1002/cam4.7179] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/08/2024] [Revised: 03/12/2024] [Accepted: 03/28/2024] [Indexed: 04/25/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Sleep disorders are often complained by cancer patients and can last years after the end of therapies, leading to different negative consequences. Non-pharmacological strategies such as exercise interventions may be considered to counteract this phenomenon. The literature supports the beneficial effects of aerobic training (AT), while evidence on resistance training (RT) is scarce. Accordingly, our systematic review aims to investigate the potential novel effect of RT on sleep outcomes in cancer survivors. METHODS The literature search was conducted on MEDLINE (Pubmed), Web of Science, Scopus, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials databases, including only randomized controlled trials (RCTs). The screening procedure was conducted using the web-based software COVIDENCE. Sleep outcomes assessed through self-reported questionnaires or objective sleep measurements were extracted from RCTs recruiting cancer survivors of any age and gender, on or off treatment. The risk of bias (RoB) for each study was assessed using the Cochrane RoB 2 tool for RCTs. Meta-analytic syntheses were performed on sleep quality and insomnia. RESULTS A total of 21 studies were included in the review. Considering the mean percentage differences of all studies combined, promising positive results were found after combined aerobic and resistance exercise program (COMB) for sleep quality (-19%) and sleep disturbance (-17.3%). The meta-analysis results showed significant improvement for both sleep quality and insomnia (d = 0.28, SE: 0.11, Z = 2.51, p < 0.01, 95% CI: 0.07-0.49 and d = 0.43, SE: 0.20, Z = 2.18, p = 0.029, 95% CI: 0.07-0.49, respectively). CONCLUSION RT interventions of 60 minutes per session, performed 2-3 times a week for 12 weeks, with exercise intensity ranging from 60% to 80% of one-repetition maximum can be administered to cancer survivors, aiming to improve sleep outcomes.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this research is to further understand the research status and summarize the research hotspots of sleep disorder and cancer, so as to provide insights into future researches. METHODS In this research, the publications pertaining to sleep disorders and cancer from 1992 to 2022 was retrieved from SCIE and SSCI databases in the Web of Science Core Collection. The subject, journal, country/regions, institutions, author, and citations of publications were descriptively analyzed and visual analysis. RESULTS From 1992 to December 2022, a total of 732 relevant literatures were retrieved from WOS SCIE and SSCI databases, the number of publications showed an increasing trend year by year. These articles were published in 252 journals, and the three most productive journals included Supportive Care in Cancer (80 publications), Psycho-oncology (32 publications), and Journal of Pain and Symptom Management (32 publications). The three most productive countries included the USA (367 publications, 50.1%), China (133 publications, 18.2%), and Canada (97 publications, 13.25%), with total citations of 12,684, 1866, and 5263. The three latest hot keywords in this field were sleep duration, validity, and inflammation. CONCLUSION The USA, China, and Canada produced a lot of literature in the research field of sleep disorders and cancer, and had relatively great academic influence from 1992 to 2022. Researchers could pay more attention to the published in journals such as Journal of Clinical Oncology, Sleep, and Supportive Care in Cancer to timely grasp the latest progress and expand the breadth and depth in this area. Looking at the history of tumor and sleep disorder research in the past 20 years, the clinical treatment of sleep disorder caused by tumor and the direct bidirectional mechanism of the two may be a new focus of future research.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the sleep quality in patients with ocular graft-versus-host disease (oGVHD) compared with patients without oGVHD after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloHCT) and healthy controls. METHODS This cross-sectional study analyzed 142 patients after alloHCT including 94 patients with oGVHD and 48 without. Fifty healthy controls were also enrolled. oGVHD was diagnosed according to International Chronic Ocular GVHD Consensus Group (ICOGCG) criteria. Sleep quality was assessed by the Chinese version of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (CPSQI). Poor sleep quality was defined as CPQSI score greater than 6. RESULTS Patients after alloHCT demonstrated a significantly higher CPQSI score than those of controls {7.0 [interquartile range (IQR) 5.0-10.0] vs. 5.5 [IQR 4.8-7.0], P =0.002}, especially in the oGVHD subgroup (7.5 [IQR 5.0-11.0] vs. 6.0 [IQR 5.0-8.0], P =0.04) with nearly double prevalence of poor sleep quality (58 [62%] vs. 18 [37%], P =0.006). Poor sleep quality was strikingly correlated with oGVHD diagnosis (adjusted odds ratio [OR]=2.55, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.02-6.34, P =0.04) and systemic immunosuppressants (adjusted OR=2.61, 95% CI: 1.32-5.71, P =0.02). Among the ocular parameters, poor sleep quality was significantly associated with higher ICOGCG score (adjusted OR=1.20, 95% CI: 1.03-1.39, P =0.02) and lower tear film break-up time (adjusted OR=0.85, 95% CI: 0.74-0.99, P =0.05). CONCLUSIONS Poor sleep quality was associated with an increased severity of oGVHD and tear film instability in the long-term alloHCT survivorship.

Abstract
Sleep is a fundamental human need; sleep disruption, in fact, causes an increase in the activity of the sympathetic nervous system and the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, metabolic effects, changes in circadian rhythms, and pro-inflammatory responses. The scientific literature is finally starting to pay attention to the central role of sleep alterations in patients health. Oxaliplatin is extensively used for the treatment of gastrointestinal cancer and other malignancies, with an increased frequency of use in recent years. This study aims to understand the effects of sleep complaints on health and quality of life in cancer patients treated with oxaliplatin. A study has been conducted through the creation and distribution of questionnaires to patients to investigate their complaints about sleep quality. We observed significant differences between males and females in evaluating sleep hygiene scores, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and previous difficulty sleeping. Moreover, in females, stress, worries, and anxiety seem to play a negative role in the sleep hygiene score. The obtained results could improve the interest of healthcare personnel and caregivers in sleep quality in patients undergoing chemotherapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Virtual reality-based exercise rehabilitation (VRER) is a promising intervention for patients with cancer-related dysfunctions (CRDs). However, studies focusing on VRER for CRDs are lacking, and the results are inconsistent. OBJECTIVE We aimed to review the application of VRER in patients with CRDs. METHODS This scoping review was conducted following the PRISMA-ScR (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews) checklist framework. Publications were included from the time of database establishment to October 14, 2023. The databases were PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Cochrane, Web of Science, ProQuest, arXiv, IEEE Xplore, MedRxiv, CNKI, Wanfang Data, VIP, and SinoMed. The population included patients with cancer. A virtual reality (VR) system or device was required to be provided in exercise rehabilitation as an intervention. Eligible studies focused on VRER used for CRDs. Study selection and data extraction were performed by 2 reviewers independently. Extracted data included authors, year, country, study type, groups, sample size, participant age, cancer type, existing or potential CRDs, VR models and devices, intervention programs and durations, effectiveness, compliance, satisfaction, and safety. RESULTS We identified 25 articles, and among these, 12 (48%) were randomized clinical trials, 11 (44%) were other experimental studies, and 2 (8%) were observational studies. The total sample size was 1174 (range 6-136). Among the 25 studies, 22 (88%), 2 (8%), and 1 (4%) included nonimmersive VR, immersive VR, and augmented reality, respectively, which are models of VRER. Commercial game programs (17/25, 68%) were the most popular interventions of VRER, and their duration ranged from 3 to 12 weeks. Using these models and devices, VRER was mostly applied in patients with breast cancer (14/25, 56%), leukemia (8/25, 32%), and lung cancer (3/25, 12%). Furthermore, 6 CRDs were intervened by VRER, and among these, postmastectomy syndromes were the most common (10/25, 40%). Overall, 74% (17/23) of studies reported positive results, including significant improvements in limb function, joint range of motion, edema rates, cognition, respiratory disturbance index, apnea, activities of daily living, and quality of life. The compliance rate ranged from 56% to 100%. Overall, 32% (8/25) of studies reported on patient satisfaction, and of these, 88% (7/8) reported satisfaction with VRER. Moreover, 13% (1/8) reported mild sickness as an adverse event. CONCLUSIONS We found that around half of the studies reported using VRER in patients with breast cancer and postmastectomy dysfunctions through nonimmersive models and commercial game programs having durations of 3-12 weeks. In addition, most studies showed that VRER was effective owing to virtualization and interaction. Therefore, VRER may be an alternate intervention for patients with CRDs. However, as the conclusions were drawn from data with acknowledged inconsistencies and limited satisfaction reports, studies with larger sample sizes and more outcome indictors are required.

Abstract
PURPOSE Sleep problems are a significant issue in patients with lung cancer, and resilience is a closely related factor. However, few studies have identified subgroups of resilience and their relationship with sleep quality. This study aimed to investigate whether there are different profiles of resilience in patients with lung cancer, to determine the sociodemographic characteristics of each subgroup, and to determine the relationship between resilience and sleep quality in different subgroups. METHODS A total of 303 patients with lung cancer from four tertiary hospitals in China completed the General Sociodemographic sheet, the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Latent profile analysis was applied to explore the latent profiles of resilience. Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the sociodemographic variables in each profile, and ANOVA was used to explore the relationships between resilience profiles and sleep quality. RESULTS The following three latent profiles were identified: the "high-resilience group" (30.2%), the "moderate-resilience group" (46.0%), and the "low-resilience group" (23.8%). Gender, place of residence, and average monthly household income significantly influenced the distribution of resilience in patients with lung cancer. CONCLUSION The resilience patterns of patients with lung cancer varied. It is suggested that health care providers screen out various types of patients with multiple levels of resilience and pay more attention to female, rural, and poor patients. Additionally, individual differences in resilience may provide an actionable means for addressing sleep problems.

[PMID: 38142189 DOI: 10.1016/j.soncn.2023.151571] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/14/2023] [Revised: 11/09/2023] [Accepted: 11/29/2023] [Indexed: 12/25/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Exercise has been recommended to enhance sleep. However, there is a paucity of studies investigating the relationships between exercise and sleep problems in patients with bladder cancer. The authors explored the effects of a single bout of light-intensity walking on the sleep quality of patients with bladder cancer who have sleep disorders. DATA SOURCES A total of 14 patients with bladder cancer with sleep disorders were recruited for this trial. The participants were randomly assigned to the walking or control condition in a cross-over design to explore the effects of a single light-intensity walking session on objectively measured sleep quality. A two-way repeated measures analysis of variance and a nonparametric permutation test were used to examine intervention effects. Twelve participants (85.7%) completed the trial. A significant group × time interaction for sleep latency (P = .023) was identified. The pairwise comparison showed significant results (P = .012) for the difference between the post-test sleep latency and the pre-test. No significant group × time interactions were observed for the remaining seven sleep parameters. Additionally, only the main effects of time on length of awakening and time in bed were significant (P < .001). CONCLUSION A single bout of light-intensity walking has a positive effect on shortening the sleep latency of patients with bladder cancer who have sleep disorders. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE Oncology nurses can encourage patients with bladder cancer to exercise, even light-intensity walking, which may improve sleep quality.

Poor Sleep Quality and Its Influencing Factors Among Iranian Patients with Esophageal and Gastric Cancer. Middle East J Dig Dis 2024; 16:39-46. [PMID: 39050101 PMCID: PMC11264832 DOI: 10.34172/mejdd.2024.367] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/09/2023] [Accepted: 12/07/2023] [Indexed: 07/27/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Sleep quality is a notable factor of well-being. It also may play a role in the development and progression of chronic diseases and cancers. Therefore, this study was performed to investigate poor sleep quality and its influencing factors among Iranian patients with esophageal and gastric cancer. Methods In this cross-sectional study, a total of 312 Iranian adult patients who suffered from esophageal and gastric cancers were employed from a gastrointestinal cancer-based cohort study conducted in a referral hospital in Tehran between 2015 and 2018. Persian version of the Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was used to measure poor sleep quality. Univariate and multiple logistic regression models were applied to determine the related factors to poor sleep quality. Results Of the participants, 203 (65.06%) were men, and 75.96% had gastric cancer. The mean age was 63.13±12.10 years. The results demonstrated that more than 62% of the patients had poor sleep quality. 148 (62.44%) patients out of 237 patients with gastric cancer had poor-quality sleep. Also, 46 (64.38%) patients out of 237 patients with esophageal cancer had poor-quality sleep. Based on the results of multiple logistic regression models, marital status has a negative association with poor sleep quality (odds ratio [OR]=0.32, P=0.015). In addition, having chronic disease (OR=2.16; P=0.028) and wealth index (OR=3.11, P=0.013; OR=3.81, P=0.003; OR=3.29, P=0.009; OR=3.85, P=0.003 for rich, moderate, poor, and poorest subgroups, respectively) had a positive association with poor sleep quality. Conclusion The findings showed that about two-thirds of the patients studied were poor sleepers. Also, it was observed that marital status, chronic disease, and wealth index were important factors associated with poor sleep quality.

Effects of exercise training on cancer patients undergoing neoadjuvant treatment: A systematic review. J Sci Med Sport 2023; 26:586-592. [PMID: 37696693 DOI: 10.1016/j.jsams.2023.08.178] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/25/2023] [Revised: 08/01/2023] [Accepted: 08/15/2023] [Indexed: 09/13/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES This systematic review aimed to analyze the effects of different exercise protocols on physical fitness (cardiorespiratory fitness, muscle strength, and body composition), quality of life, cancer-related fatigue, and sleep quality in patients with different types of cancer undergoing neoadjuvant treatment. DESIGN Systematic review. METHOD A comprehensive search of existing literature was carried out using four electronic databases: PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library (published until October 19, 2022). All databases were searched for randomized controlled trials, quasi-experimental investigations, and pre-post investigations assessing the effects of exercise in cancer patients during neoadjuvant treatment. Excluded articles included multicomponent interventions, such as exercise plus diet or behavioral therapy, and investigations performed during adjuvant treatment or survivorship. The methodological quality of each study was assessed using the Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) scale. RESULTS Twenty-seven trials involving 999 cancer patients were included in this review. The interventions were conducted in cancer patients undergoing neoadjuvant treatment for rectal (n = 11), breast (n = 5), pancreatic (n = 4), esophageal (n = 3), gastro-esophageal (n = 2), and prostate (n = 1) cancers, and leukemia (n = 1). Among the investigations included, 14 utilized combined exercise protocols, 11 utilized aerobic exercise, and two utilized both aerobic and resistance training separately. Exercise interventions appeared to improve cardiorespiratory fitness, muscle strength, body composition, and quality of life, although many investigations lacked a between-group analysis. CONCLUSION Despite limited evidence, exercise interventions applied during neoadjuvant treatment demonstrate promising potential in enhancing cardiorespiratory fitness, muscle strength, body composition, and overall quality of life. However, a scarcity of evidence remains on the effects of exercise on cancer-related fatigue and sleep quality. Further research with high-quality randomized controlled trials is warranted.

Abstract
Background Pruritus is a frequent complaint associated with various inflammatory dermatoses. Sleep is often disturbed because of pruritus but the impact of severity and diurnal pattern of pruritus has not been studied so far. Objectives To estimate the prevalence of nocturnal itch (NI) and its association with itch severity, sleep disturbance and quality of life (QoL) compared with non-NI in chronic plaque psoriasis (CPP) and chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU). Methods We performed a cross-sectional study in patients aged ≥18 years with CPP or CSU for at least 6 weeks. A comprehensive in-house questionnaire designed for study formed the basis for categorizing patients into NI and non-NI. Validated instruments like visual analog scale, pruritus grading system, General Sleep Disturbance Scale, and Dermatology life quality index were used to assess itch severity, sleep, and QoL. Results A total of 255 patients (CPP: 131; CSU: 124) were included in this study. Prevalence of NI was 43.5% (95% confidence interval: 34.9%-52.4%) in CPP and 29% (95% confidence interval: 21.2%-37.9%) in CSU. NI was strongly associated with higher pruritus grading system scores in CSU and CPP (regression coefficient = 1.5, P =0.004 and regression coefficient = 1.3, P =0.004, respectively), with impaired sleep (OR = 2.97, P = 0.025) in CPP and with itch-affected sleep in CSU. Itch severity was associated with impaired sleep; however, the association was modified by the presence of NI in CSU patients. Conclusion Nocturnal itch is prevalent in chronic dermatoses and significant for sleep deficit and impaired QoL. Early screening and management of sleep disturbance among patients presenting with nocturnal itch should be routinely undertaken.

Abstract
Objective This study investigated the consistency and determined the optimal threshold values of three scales in the diagnosis of insomnia of ischemic stroke (IS) patients. Methods Participants in this study consisted of 569 acute IS patients. All 569 patients completed the assessment of the three insomnia scales. Insomnia of IS patients were assessed by Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI), Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), and Athens insomnia scale (AIS). Also, basic patient information, neurological function, and activities of daily living were assessed. General information was compared between the insomnia group and the no-insomnia group. Cronbach's α coefficients, Cohen's Kappa consistency, Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and DeLong's test analysis were used to analyze the reliability and diagnostic validity of PSQI, ISI, and AIS. Results The PSQI and ISI showed high reliability with Cronbach's α of 0.875 and 0.858, respectively, while the AIS had an α coefficient of 0.734, demonstrating acceptable reliability. The PSQI, ISI, and AIS showed outstanding diagnostic ability with an AUC of 0.960 (95% CI: 0.946, 0.974), 0.911 (95% CI: 0.882, 0.941), and 0.876 (95% CI:0.837, 0.916). The best diagnostic cutoffs for PSQI, ISI, and AIS are ≥9, ≥15, and ≥8. Conclusion Each of the three questionnaires has advantages and disadvantages when assessing insomnia. In the evaluation of insomnia in IS patients, the best questionnaire selection should be made according to the purpose of clinical evaluation and considering the sensitivity and specificity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sleep disorders are highly prevalent among breast cancer patients and have a detrimental impact on their quality of life. This study aims to investigate the serial multiple mediating roles of social support and hope in the relationship between anxiety, depression, and sleep quality in breast cancer patients. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted in China from October 2021 to February 2022. A total of 315 breast cancer patients were assessed using self-reported questionnaires, including the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Medical Outcomes Study Social Support Survey (MOS-SSS), Herth Hope Index (HHI), and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). Mediation analysis was performed using the R Statistical Software. RESULTS Sleep quality exhibited a negative correlation with hope and medical social support (P < 0.01), and a positive correlation with anxiety and depression (P < 0.01). Anxiety and depression accounted for 18.8% and 12.8% of the variance in sleep quality, respectively. Bootstrap analyses of the anxiety-medical social support-hope-sleep quality pathway indicated the presence of direct effects [B = 0.331, 95%CI (0.215, 0.493)] and indirect effects of anxiety on sleep quality mediated solely by medical social support [B = 0.054, 95%CI (0.015, 0.108)] and hope [B = 0.041, 95%CI (0.018, 0.073)], as well as combined effects [B = 0.012, 95%CI (0.004, 0.025)]. Similarly, the depression-medical social support-hope-sleep quality pathway revealed direct effects [B = 0.235, 95%CI (0.104, 0.372)] and indirect effects of depression on sleep quality mediated solely by medical social support [B = 0.078, 95%CI (0.016, 0.150)] and hope [B = 0.049, 95%CI (0.018, 0.086)], as well as combined effects [B = 0.017, 95%CI (0.004, 0.034)]. CONCLUSIONS This research validates the hypothesis that medical social support and hope serve as mediators between anxiety, depression, and sleep quality in breast cancer patients. Interventions targeting anxiety, depression, medical social support, and hope have the potential to effectively enhance sleep quality.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study aimed to identify the factors affecting the quality of life (QOL) and functional status of patients with MDS. AREAS COVERED We reviewed the literature published in PUBMED over the past 30 years and searched for keywords such as 'quality of life' and 'myelodysplastic syndromes'. By observing the influence of their symptoms, the possibility of improving patients' QOL was considered by improving these related factors. Concurrently, the effects of related clinical treatments based on the unique disease characteristics of MDS on the patients' QOL were examined, and lifestyle factors were considered in clinical practice, providing an important path to improve the QOL and functional status of patients with MDS. EXPERT OPINION This review summarized several areas that can improve the quality of survival of MDS patients and discusses them in depth. Although the clinical benefits may be minimal, we still hope to improve patients' daily life outcomes and enhance their quality of life at minimal cost. Also, we hope more researchers will focus on this area in the future to find more factors that may exist to supplement the limitations of these understanding and thinking, and to provide assistance in clinical work.

Abstract
PURPOSE In this study, exercise interventions were evaluated for their effects on cancer-related fatigue (CRF) and quality of life (QoL) among cancer patients. DESIGN A meta-analysis was performed. METHODS We systematically searched the PubMed/Medline, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), PsycINFO, and CINAHL databases, and gray literature sources including the Virginia Henderson International Nursing Library and Google Scholar. This study only included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) examining how exercise interventions affect CRF and QoL among cancer patients. Based on the Cochrane Risk-of-Bias Assessment Tool, version 2 (RoB 2) and the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) approach, the methodological quality of the included studies was evaluated. In addition, standardized mean differences (SMDs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were applied to assess the intervention effect with respect to CRF and QoL. Data analysis was performed using Review Manager (version 5.4). RESULTS There were a total of 1573 participants in the 28 included articles. According to the meta-analysis, CRF (SMD = -0.35, 95% CI: -0.63 to -0.07, p = 0.01) and QoL (SMD = 0.36, 95% CI: 0.20 to 0.53, p < 0.01) were positively affected by exercise interventions. Subgroup analyses revealed considerable improvements in CRF (SMD = -0.54, 95% CI: -1.00 to -0.09, p = 0.02) and QoL (SMD = 0.38, 95% CI: 0.16 to 0.59, p < 0.01) from aerobic exercise. An intervention duration less than 12 weeks had a better effect on CRF (SMD = -0.80, 95% CI: -1.43 to -0.17, p = 0.01) and QoL (SMD = 0.53, 95% CI: 0.21 to 0.85, p < 0.01), and three times per week was the most effective frequency in improving QoL (SMD = 0.69, 95% CI: 0.28 to 1.11, p < 0.01). Exercise intervention was more successful in improving CRF (SMD = -0.66, 95% CI: -1.10 to -0.21, p < 0.01) and QoL (SMD=-0.50, 95% CI: 0.23 to 0.78, p < 0.01) in female cancer patients. Sensitivity analyses showed that the pooled outcomes were reliable and stable. CONCLUSION Exercise interventions are a workable approach to improve CRF and QoL among cancer patients. An aerobic exercise intervention of less than 12 weeks might be most effective in improving CRF and QoL, and three times per week might be the most appropriate frequency. Exercise might have a more positive effect on improving CRF and QoL in female cancer patients. Additionally, a larger number of high-quality RCTs should be conducted to further confirm the efficacy of exercise interventions on CRF and QoL among cancer patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Postoperative impaired sleep quality and pain are associated with adverse outcomes. Stellate ganglion block (SGB) has shown promising results in enhancing sleep quality and alleviating neuropathic pain. This study aimed to investigate the effects of ultrasound-guided SGB on postoperative sleep quality and pain in patients undergoing breast cancer surgery. METHODS This study is a parallel-group randomized controlled clinical trial with two groups: SGB and control. Fifty female patients undergoing breast cancer surgery were randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive preoperative ultrasound-guided single-injection SGB (SGB group) or just an ultrasound scan (control group). All participants were blinded to the group assignment. The primary outcome was postoperative sleep quality, assessed by the St. Mary's Hospital Sleep Questionnaire and actigraphy 2 days postoperatively. The secondary outcome was postoperative pain, measured by the visual analog scale. RESULTS A total of 48 patients completed the study, with 23 patients in the control group and 25 in the SGB group. The postoperative St. Mary's Hospital Sleep Questionnaire scores were significantly higher in the SGB group than in the control group on 1 day postoperative (30.88 ± 2.44 versus 27.35 ± 4.12 points, P = 0.001). The SGB also increased the total sleep time and sleep efficiency (main actigraphy indicators) during the first two postoperative nights. Compared with the control group, preoperative SGB reduced postoperative pain and the incidence of breast cancer-related lymphedema (20% versus 52.2%, P = 0.02, odds ratio 0.229, 95% confidence interval 0.064-0.821). There were no adverse events related to SGB. CONCLUSION Preoperative ultrasound-guided SGB improves postoperative sleep quality and analgesia in patients undergoing breast cancer surgery. SGB may be a safe and practical treatment to enhance the postoperative quality of life in patients with breast cancer. TRIAL REGISTRATION The study was registered in the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR2100046620, principal investigator: Kai Zeng, date of registration: 23 May 2021).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mild to moderate depressive disorder (DD), which accounts for much larger patient population, has been largely neglected in previous studies exploring the sleep quality of DD patients; in addition, most of these patients had comorbid insomnia. Thus, this study aimed to explore the effect of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) and agomelatine on sleep quality of adult patients with mild to moderate DD. METHODS 100 participants were randomly divided into high-frequency rTMS group and sham rTMS group (n = 50 each). All patients were administered agomelatine simultaneously. Hamilton Depression Scale-17 Items (HAMD-17), Pittsburgh Sleep Index (PSQI), and polysomnography were used to evaluate the efficacy. Serum norepinephrine (NE), 5-hydroxytryptamine, brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), and melatonin were also determined. RESULTS The HAMD-17 and PSQI scores in high-frequency rTMS group were lower than those in sham rTMS group at the 4th and 8th weekend after treatment (P < 0.05). Post-treatment total sleep time, sleep efficiency, and N3 percentage in high-frequency rTMS group were better than those in sham rTMS group (P < 0.05); while post-treatment sleep latency, awakening time, micro-awakening times, and N1 percentage were significantly less than those in sham rTMS group (P < 0.01). Post-treatment serum levels of NE and BDNF in high-frequency rTMS group were higher than those in sham rTMS group (P < 0.05). LIMITATIONS Small sample size and short follow-up duration. CONCLUSION The combination of high-frequency rTMS and agomelatine is effective in the treatment of mild to moderate DD, which can improve the sleep quality and increase the levels of some neurotransmitters and neurotrophic factors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to assess changes in quality of sleep (QoS) in isolated metastatic patients with spinal cord compression following two different surgical treatments and identify potential contributing factors associated with QoS improvement. METHODS We reviewed 49 patients with isolated spinal metastasis at our spinal tumor center between December 2017 and May 2021. Total en bloc spondylectomy (TES) and palliative surgery with postoperative stereotactic radiosurgery (PSRS) were performed on 26 and 23 patients, respectively. We employed univariate and multivariate analyses to identify the potential prognostic factors affecting QoS. RESULTS The total Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) score improved significantly 6 months after surgery. Univariate analysis indicated that age, pain worsening at night, decrease in visual analog scale (VAS), increase in Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance score (ECOG-PS), artificial implant in focus, and decrease in epidural spinal cord compression (ESCC) scale values were potential contributing factors for QoS. Multivariate analysis indicated that the ESCC scale score decreased as an independent prognostic factor. CONCLUSIONS Patients with spinal cord compression caused by the metastatic disease had significantly improved QoS after TES and PSRS treatment. Moreover, a decrease in ESCC scale value of > 1 was identified as a favorable contributing factor associated with PSQI improvement. In addition, TES and PSRS can prevent recurrence by achieving efficient local tumor control to improve indirect sleep. Accordingly, timely and effective surgical decompression and recurrence control are critical for improving sleep quality.

Abstract
Introduction Primary immunodeficiencies (PIDs) are clinically heterogeneous disorders caused by abnormalities in the immune system. However, PIDs are genetically determined and may occur at any age from early childhood to elderly age. Due to chronic patterns, the risk of malignancy and organ damage in patients with PIDs may affect any aspect of life, including sleep patterns. To our knowledge, the prevalence of insomnia and subjective sleep quality have not been investigated in patients with PIDs. Therefore, this pilot study was conducted to investigate sleep quality, the prevalence of sleep disturbances, and fatigue in adult patients with PIDs in Poland. Methods All participants were surveyed using the Athens Insomnia Scale, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Fatigue Severity Scale, and a questionnaire concerning general health and demographic data. We included 92 participants: 48 women (52.2%) and 44 men (47.8%). Results Participants' mean age was 41.9 ± 13.9 years. The mean sleep duration was 7.0 ± 1.5 hours, and the mean sleep latency was 41.2 ± 53.1 minutes. Additionally, 44.6% of patients (n=41) had symptoms of insomnia and 44.6% (n=42) had poor sleep quality. Less than one-fourth (n=22; 23.9%) of the patients reported the use of sleeping pills; moreover, clinically significant fatigue was reported in 52.2% (n=48). Discussion Our investigation provides insight into the problem of sleep disturbances in patients with PIDs. Data have demonstrated that sleeping disorders with concomitant fatigue are common in patients with PID. Further studies are needed to determine the determinants of poor sleep quality in this specific group of patients.

Abstract
Purpose This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to assess the effects of acupuncture on patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in adults with lung cancer. Methods Electronic databases including PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), China Science and Technology Journal Database (CQVIP), Wanfang Data, SinoMed, and gray literatures were retrieved from inception to 1 July 2022 for randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Acupuncture was defined as an experimental intervention, and the patients of the control groups included either treatment including conventional therapy (usual care, sham/placebo acupuncture, pharmacotherapy including Western medicine and Chinese traditional medicine). PROs for this study were measured by seven scales of primary outcomes including the Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS), European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire, Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Lung, Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy Lung Cancer Subscale, Leicester Cough Questionnaire (LCQ score), the Medical Outcomes Study (MOS) item short form health survey (SF-36), and the St George's Respiratory Questionnaire, and 12 scales of secondary outcomes. Cochrane Collaboration's tool was used to assess the risks of bias. Data were combined and analyzed with RevMan 5.4 and Stata/SE 16.0. Results We retrieved 3,002 lung cancer patients from 33 trials. KPS included with 1,000 patients showed that acupuncture could significantly improve the quality of life (QOL) compared with the control group regardless of different tumor-node-metastasis stages or the different stages of disease. The study showed that acupuncture significantly improved lung cancer-related symptoms in the QOL, pain, nausea and vomiting, insomnia, anxiety and depression, fatigue, and constipation compared with the control group. Eight RCTs reported the occurrence of adverse events, whereas four reported none and four RCTs reported that the events in the observation group were significantly less than those in the control group. Conclusion Acupuncture proved to be a promising intervention, both postoperatively and after chemotherapy, and should be recommended as a beneficial alternative strategy to promote PROs in lung cancer patients at all stages of application. Considering the low quality, we suggest more rigorous clinical trials of acupuncture for lung cancer in the future and more emphasis on the effect of acupuncture in patients with lung cancer on their PROs, mainly in the aspect of the QOL.

Abstract
BACKGROUND For patients and their intimate partners, advanced cancer poses significant challenges that can negatively impact both individuals and their relationship. Prior studies have found evidence that couple-based communication skills interventions can to be beneficial for patients and partners. However, these studies have been limited by reliance on in-person treatment delivery and have not targeted couples at high risk for poor outcomes. This study tests the efficacy of a Couples Communication Skills Training (CCST) intervention delivered via videoconference for couples reporting high levels of holding back from discussing cancer-related concerns, a variable associated with poorer psychological and relationship functioning. METHODS This RCT is designed to evaluate the efficacy of CCST in improving patient and partner relationship functioning (primary outcome). Secondary outcomes include patient and partner psychological functioning and patient symptoms and health care use. We also examine the role of objective and self-reported communication behaviors as mediators of treatment effects. Two hundred thirty patients with advanced lung, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, and breast cancer and their partners will be randomized to CCST or an education control intervention. Participants in both conditions complete self-reported outcome measures at baseline, mid-treatment, post-treatment, and 3 months post-treatment. Objective measures of communication are derived from video-recorded couple conversations collected at baseline and post-treatment. An implementation-related process evaluation (assessing implementation outcomes and potential barriers to/facilitators of implementation) will be conducted to inform future efforts to implement CCST in real-world settings. DISCUSSION This trial can yield important new knowledge about effective ways to improve patient and partner adjustment to advanced cancer. TRIAL REGISTRATION This study trial is registered at clinicaltrials.gov (Trial # NCT04590885); registration date: October 19, 2020.

Abstract
Simple Summary This review focuses on sleep in patients with advanced cancer. Cancer patients experience multiple symptoms and they receive concomitant medications. These are all factors that may affect sleep. In this paper, we present recommendations on sleep assessment in patients with advanced cancer and highlight cancer-related factors that may contribute to insomnia. Sleep is an essential aspect of health-related quality of life; therefore, it is important for health care providers to focus on sleep to improve patient care. Abstract Patients with advanced cancer experience multiple symptoms, with fluctuating intensity and severity during the disease. They use several medications, including opioids, which may affect sleep. Sleep disturbance is common in cancer patients, decreases the tolerability of other symptoms, and impairs quality of life. Despite its high prevalence and negative impact, poor sleep quality often remains unrecognized and undertreated. Given that sleep is an essential aspect of health-related quality of life, it is important to extend both the knowledge base and awareness among health care providers in this field to improve patient care. In this narrative review, we provide recommendations on sleep assessment in patients with advanced cancer and highlight cancer-related factors that contribute to insomnia. We also present direct implications for health care providers working in palliative care and for future research.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the clinical implications of sleep quality, anxiety and depression in patients with advanced lung cancer (LC) and their family caregivers (FCs). METHODS A total of 98 patients with advanced LC and their FCs (n=98) were recruited from the Oncology Department in Nanfang Hospital. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), consisting of seven components that evaluate subjective sleep quality, sleep latency, duration of sleep, sleep efficiency, sleep disturbances, sleep medication usage and daytime dysfunction, was used to assess sleep quality. Using the tool of Zung Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Zung Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS), we tested the patients' status of anxiety and depression, respectively. RESULTS The prevalences of poor sleep quality, anxiety and depression in patients were 56.1%, 48.9% and 56.1%, respectively, while those in FCs were 16.3%, 32.6% and 25.5%, respectively. Patients had higher PSQI, SAS and SDS scores than did FCs (p<0.05). Significant correlations were found between the patients' and FCs' scores of PSQI/SAS/SDS (p<0.05). Multivariate Cox regression analyses indicated that sleep disturbances in patients (HR 0.413, 95% CI 0.21 to 0.80, p=0.01) and the global PSQI score of FCs (HR 0.31, 95% CI 0.14 to 0.71, p=0.00) were independent risk factors for patients' first-line progression-free survival (PFS). Moreover, patients' sleep latency (HR 2.329, 95% CI 1.36 to 3.96, p=0.00) and epidermal growth factor receptor mutations (HR 1.953, 95% CI 1.12 to 3.38, p=0.01) were significant prognostic factors for their overall survival (OS). CONCLUSIONS We demonstrated that presence of sleep disturbances in patients with advanced LC and the global PSQI Score of their FCs may be risk predictors for patients' poor first-line PFS. Patients' sleep latency was a potential risk factor for their OS.

Abstract
Introduction: Lung transplant recipients face challenging postoperative complications and are at risk for poor sleep quality. Sleep quality, as a complex clinical phenomenon, has multiple subjective and objective connotations. Measures and definitions of sleep quality are not standardized. Objective: A scoping review methodology was used to systematically map the relevant literature, provide an overview of available sleep quality measures, and to identify knowledge gaps. Methods: A systematic search of published and gray literature enabled knowledge synthesis of the last 10 years of evidence documenting sleep quality in lung transplant recipients. The search revealed 246 articles with only 12 sources meeting the eligibility criteria. Results: Sources varied in terms of definitions and measures of sleep quality. Subjective, objective, or a combination of both measures were used across the relevant literature with findings confirming that poor sleep quality was common in lung transplant recipients. Significant associations with poor sleep quality included younger age, female gender, exposure to tacrolimus, anxiety, and depression. Discussion: Systematic literature assessing sleep quality in lung transplant recipients is sparse and lacks conceptual and operational definitions. Future research can focus on designing prospective observational studies. Subjective and objective measures for sleep quality need to be validated in lung transplant recipients. Further rigorous research is needed to standardize measures of sleep quality and to further examine potential risk factors that affect sleep after lung transplantation.

Psychooncology 2022; 31:1340-1346. [PMID: 35394096 PMCID: PMC9088541 DOI: 10.1002/pon.5936] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2021] [Revised: 03/24/2022] [Accepted: 03/27/2022] [Indexed: 11/07/2022]
Abstract
Objective Because of Covid 19, it has become necessary to revise the treatment of cancer patients (“how” and “when”). That has had important psychological repercussions. The purpose of this study is the evaluation of the impact of Covid19 in terms of Post‐Traumatic Stress Disorder and Depression and the potential association with coping strategies. Methods We conducted an exploratory study with 106 patients undergoing treatment, using following questionnaires: Screening Questionnaire for Disaster Mental Health and Mini‐Mental Adjustment to Cancer. Results Only 25.5% of our sample showed symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and 6.6% revealed a probable presence of depression. In addition, it came up a significant correlation between SQD_P and the coping styles “Hopelessness” (r = 0.41 p < 0.001) and “Anxious Preoccupation” (r = 0.45, p < 0.001). A strong correlation also emerged between non‐Covid 19 patients and PTSD (r = 0.29, p = 0.002). Conclusions Our preliminary data did not reveal a prevalence of PTSD, but the persistence of the health emergency requires to focus future research on protective and risk factors related to PTSD and psychological distress in cancer patients, in order to reduce the mental health burden of Covid19.

White matter alterations in heart-kidney imbalance insomnia and Jiao-Tai-Wan treatment: A diffusion-tensor imaging study. Brain Imaging Behav 2022; 16:1803-1812.

Abstract
Previous studies have reported changes in white matter microstructures in patients with insomnia. However, few neuroimaging studies have focused specifically on white matter tracts in insomnia patients after having received treatment. In this prospective study, diffusion-tensor imaging was used in two samples of heart-kidney imbalance insomnia patients who were treated with placebo or Jiao-Tai-Wan, a traditional Chinese medicine commonly used to treat heart-kidney imbalance insomnia, to assess the changes in white matter tracts. Tract-based spatial statistical analyses were first applied to compare the changes in mean diffusivity and fractional anisotropy of white matter between 75 heart-kidney imbalance insomnia patients and 41 healthy control participants. In subsequent randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials, comparisons of mean diffusivity and fractional anisotropy were also performed in 24 heart-kidney imbalance insomnia patients (8 males; 16 females; 42.5 ± 10.4 years) with Jiao-Tai-Wan and 26 heart-kidney imbalance insomnia patients (11 males; 15 females; 39.7 ± 9.4 years) with a placebo, with age and sex as covariates. Fractional anisotropy values in left corticospinal tract were increased in heart-kidney imbalance insomnia patients. Heart-kidney imbalance insomnia patients showed lower mean diffusivity and fractional anisotropy values of several white matter tracts than healthy control participants, such as the bilateral anterior limb of internal capsule, bilateral superior longitudinal fasciculus and bilateral posterior corona radiata. After being treated with Jiao-Tai-Wan, heart-kidney imbalance insomnia patients showed a trend towards reduced fractional anisotropy values in the left corticospinal tract. Jiao-Tai-Wan may improve the sleep quality by reversing the structural changes of the left corticospinal tract caused by heart-kidney imbalance insomnia.

The Association between Sleep Quality and Fatigue in Colorectal Cancer Survivors up until Two Years after Treatment: A Cross-Sectional and Longitudinal Analysis.

Abstract
Simple Summary Fatigue is a distressing complaint with high detriment to quality of life that persists in one third of colorectal cancer survivors after cancer treatment. Surprisingly, the contribution of poor sleep quality to fatigue in colorectal cancer survivors is underinvestigated. We aimed to investigate the association between sleep quality and fatigue in colorectal cancer survivors up until two years post-treatment. Results showed worse sleep quality in colorectal cancer patients was associated with higher levels of fatigue during the first two years post-treatment. The results of this study suggest that more attention for sleep quality in colorectal cancer survivors and offering sleep health interventions may lead to less fatigue and better quality of life in this group. Abstract Fatigue is a distressing complaint with high detriment to quality of life that persists in one-third of colorectal cancer survivors after cancer treatment. Previous studies in mixed groups of cancer patients have suggested sleep quality is associated with fatigue. We aimed to investigate this association in colorectal cancer survivors up until two years post-treatment. Data on n = 388 stage I–III colorectal cancer patients were utilized from the EnCoRe study. Sleep quality and fatigue were measured at 6 weeks and 6, 12, and 24 months post-treatment. Sleep quality was measured using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (cross-sectional analysis only) and the single-item insomnia scale from the EORTC QLQ-C30. Fatigue was measured by the Checklist Individual Strength. Linear and mixed-model regression analyses analysed associations between sleep quality and fatigue cross-sectionally and longitudinally. Longitudinal analysis revealed worsening sleep quality over time was significantly associated with increased levels of fatigue over time (β per 0.5 SD increase in the EORTC-insomnia score = 2.56, 95% Cl: 1.91, 3.22). Significant cross-sectional associations were observed between worse sleep quality and higher levels of fatigue at all time points. Worse sleep quality in colorectal cancer patients was associated with higher levels of fatigue during the first two years post-treatment.

Effect of Conventional Nursing Combined with Bedtime Oculomotor Training on Sleep Quality and Body Immunity of Advanced Lung Cancer Patients. JOURNAL OF HEALTHCARE ENGINEERING 2022; 2022:4357915. [PMID: 35310178 PMCID: PMC8930206 DOI: 10.1155/2022/4357915] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/12/2022] [Revised: 02/09/2022] [Accepted: 02/15/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Objective. The aim of this study is to explore the effect of conventional nursing combined with bedtime oculomotor training on sleep quality and body immune of advanced lung cancer patients. Methods. By means of a retrospective study, 120 advanced lung cancer patients admitted to our hospital from January 2019 to January 2020 were selected as the research subject and divided into the intervention group (PSQI (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index) score≥10 points, n = 60) and the control group (PSQI score<10 points, n = 60). Conventional nursing was performed to the control group, and an eye movement exercise before sleep was added additionally in the intervention group, 30 min each time, once a day, and 5 times a week for 3 months, so as to compare their sleep quality, body immunity indexes, negative emotion scores, adverse reaction rate (ARR), quality of life, and satisfaction with nursing. Results. After nursing, the intervention group obtained a significantly lower PSQI score (5.54 ± 1.23 VS 7.98 ± 1.65,
), better body immunity indexes (
), lower negative emotion scores (
), lower ARR (
), better quality of life (
), and higher satisfaction with nursing (
) than the control group. Conclusion. Combining conventional nursing with the eye movement exercise before sleep can alleviate negative emotions, improve the sleep quality, promote body immunity, and reduce the ARR, which is more satisfying to patients and should be applied and promoted in practice.

Abstract
Objectives To assess the influence of different chronic diseases on lifestyle and health behaviours changes after COVID-19 lockdown in Spanish older people compared to people without these diseases and compare the differences in these changes between both periods. Methods 1092 participants (80.3±5.6y;66.5%women) from two Spanish cohorts were included. Telephone-based questionaries were used to evaluate health risk behaviours and lifestyle during lockdown and 7-months later. Self-reported physician-based diagnosis of chronic diseases was also reported. Cox-proportional models adjusted for main confounders were applied. Results Improvements concerning lifestyle were found in older people with chronic diseases, although they worsened the physical component (except cancer). When they were compared to those without these diseases, hypertension was associated with a lower frequency of increased alcohol consumption (Hazard ratio:0.73[95% confidence interval:0.55;0.99]). Pulmonary diseases were associated with a lower risk of both decreased sedentary time (0.58[0.39;0.86]) and worsening sleep quality (0.56[0.36;0.87]), while CVD was only associated with a lower frequency of decreased sedentary time (0.58[0.38;0.88]). Depression was linked to a higher risk of increasing diet quality (1.53[1.00;2.36]). Cancer was less likely to worsen sleep quality (0.44[0.22;0.89]), but more likely to worsen their social contact frequency (2.05[1.05;3.99]). No significant association related to musculoskeletal diseases. Conclusion Beneficial changes in health risk behaviours and lifestyle after the COVID-19 lockdown in older people with chronic diseases were found. Particularly, older people with hypertension, pulmonary disease and cancer showed beneficial changes after lockdown compared to their counterparts without diseases. Those with CVD and depression showed lifestyles that could involve a health risk.

Sleep macro- and microstructure in breast cancer survivors. Sci Rep 2022; 12:2557.

Abstract
Complaints of sleep disturbance are prevalent among breast cancer (BC) patients and are predictors of quality of life. Still, electrophysiological measures of sleep are missing in patients, which prevents from understanding the pathophysiological consequences of cancer and its past treatments. Using polysomnography, sleep can be investigated in terms of macro- (e.g. awakenings, sleep stages) and micro- (i.e. cortical activity) structure. We aimed to characterize sleep complaints, and macro- and microstructure in 33 BC survivors untreated by chemotherapy and that had finished radiotherapy since at least 6 months (i.e. out of the acute effects of radiotherapy) compared to 21 healthy controls (HC). Compared to HC, BC patients had a larger number of awakenings (p = 0.008); and lower Delta power (p < 0.001), related to sleep deepening and homeostasis; greater both Alpha (p = 0.002) and Beta power (p < 0.001), related to arousal during deep sleep; and lower Theta power (p = 0.004), related to emotion regulation during dream sleep. Here we show that patients have increased cortical activity related to arousal and lower activity related to sleep homeostasis compared to controls. These results give additional insights in sleep pathophysiology of BC survivors and suggest sleep homeostasis disruption in non-advanced stages of BC.
