“…In addition, our sample size was small, and majority of participants were of NZ European background, in a relationship, and had high household income. As noted in our other study [10], our recruitment may be biased for patients with insomnia because of the high percentage of participants with insomnia symp-toms. There may also be a selection bias for participants who were interested in health, and for those without late-stage cancer.…”

Introduction: Insomnia symptoms are common among prostate cancer (PCa) patients. We explore here whether education level is associated with sleep-related outcomes, and preference for sleep management strategies. Methods: A short online survey was posted on Facebook with the help of Prostate Cancer Foundation New Zealand. The survey consisted of scales on sleep-related parameters, as well as questions about sleep management strategies. Results: Demographic data were similar between participants with (n = 49) and without (n = 32) university education. Participants with no university education were more likely to receive external beam radiation (P = 0.035) than participants without university education. In addition, those without university education also had signiﬁcantly more comorbidities (P = 0.046), higher body mass index (P = 0.048), and more severe fatigue (P = 0.031) but similar levels of insomnia symptoms (P = 0.50), sleepiness (P = 0.36) and morningness-eveningness (P = 0.07) than those with university education. After controlling for age, number of comorbidities, and insomnia severity, lower education was associated with lower likelihood of having used herbal remedies or supplements for improving sleep (OR = 0.208, P = 0.041). Education level is not related to the use of sleep medication, cognitive behaviour therapy, mindfulness, acupuncture, hypnosis for sleep management in PCa patients. Conclusion: Education level is not associated with insomnia symptoms, but with fatigue level and the use of herbal remedies or supplements for sleep management in PCa patients.

“…Men with prostate cancer (PCa) are two to three time more likely to experience insomnia symptoms than men without prostate cancer [6,10,14,32,34]. A recent study also showed that poor sleep is associated with higher odds for having high-grade PCa [44].…”

“…A recent study also showed that poor sleep is associated with higher odds for having high-grade PCa [44]. Insomnia symptoms are also related to other symptoms in PCa patients, including depression, fatigue, and daytime sleepiness [6,17,36]. Considering that insomnia is associated with poorer psychological outcomes in cancer patients [5,17], it is important to further our understanding of what factors in uence insomnia severity in PCa patients in order to improve their quality of life.…”

Insomnia symptoms are commonly experienced by men after prostate cancer (PCa) treatment. Here we explored how sleep hygiene behaviours and psychological symptoms are associated with insomnia symptoms in PCa patients. MethodsAn online survey was posted on social media and sent to mailing lists of PCa and general cancer organisations. The survey collected information on demographic, sleep hygiene and psychological symptoms using validated questionnaires. ResultsData from 142 participants were compared based on the absence (age = 68.3 ± 8.9 years) and presence (age = 66.6 ± 9.0 years) of insomnia symptoms. Participants with insomnia symptoms had signi cantly higher levels of anxiety, depression, fatigue, and daytime sleepiness as well as poorer sleep hygiene than those without insomnia symptoms. Control variables (age, comorbidities, ADT experience and BMI) accounted for 12.5% of the variance in insomnia symptoms. Adding sleepiness, fatigue, anxiety, depressive symptoms to the model explained an additional 45.1% of the variance in insomnia symptoms.Further, including the sleep hygiene item "I think, plan, or worry when I am in bed" and "I sleep in an uncomfortable bedroom" explained an additional 3.6% of the variance in insomnia symptoms. ConclusionsPoor sleep hygiene, fatigue, daytime sleepiness, anxiety, depressive symptoms were all associated with worse insomnia symptoms in PCa patients. Improving sleep hygiene and treating psychological conditions may potentially help prevent and/or alleviate insomnia symptoms in PCa patients.
