“…In addition to psycho-education about this constellation of concerns, integrating strategies that focus on cognitions and worry might decrease levels of FCR. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), an evidence-based intervention, is well suited to treatment of sleep dysfunction as well as worry in cancer survivorship (Fiorentino & Ancoli-Israel, 2007;Lebel et al, 2013;Herschbach et al, 2010).…”

Fear of cancer recurrence (FCR) and sleep disturbance are identified as top psychosocial concerns in cancer survivorship, yet few studies have explored the association between these two factors. Using data from a study of 67 cancer survivors, hierarchical logistic regression models examined the relationships between socio-demographic characteristics, FCR, and sleep disturbance. More than half of survivors reported poor sleep quality; those with some college education and those with higher levels of FCR were at greater risk for poor sleep. These findings provide formative data for oncology social workers to implement interventions that target FCR as a strategy for improving sleep.

“…[11][12][13][14][15] In patients with chronic disease, sleep disruption has been shown to be a chronic problem causing severe distress, resulting in greater QOL defi cit. [16][17][18][19] Similarly, sleep disturbances have been shown to adversely affect the QOL in patients with chronic disease.…”

Study Objectives: Sleep can affect quality of life (QOL). We examined the association between self-reported sleep time and QOL independent of perceived health status and depressive disorder using the EuroQol-5 Dimension (EQ-5D) and a visual analog scale (VAS). Methods: We used the nationwide cross-sectional survey data of 28,178 subjects from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) IV-V. Self-reported sleep time was assessed by average hours of sleep per day. QOL was measured using the EQ-5D and VAS. A generalized additive model and multiple linear regression analysis were used to estimate the effect of sleep time on the QOL while adjusting for potential confounding variables. Results: We found a signifi cant inverted U-shaped relationship between sleep time and QOL using both the EQ-5D and VAS indices. Compared with subjects who slept 7 h/day, Korean men whose sleep time was very short (≤ 4 h/ day) or very long (≥ 10 h/day) had substantially worse QOL (−3.125 in EQ-5D, p < 0.001 and −4.387 on the VAS, p = 0.000 for ≤ 4 h/day; −1.763 in EQ-5D, p = 0.001 and −1.944 on the VAS for ≥ 10 h/day, all p = 0.038). A similar inverted U-shape was observed between sleep time and QOL in Korean women. Conclusions: Inappropriate sleep time (either short or long) in both men and women was signifi cantly associated with lower QOL. In particular, such an association was more apparent among persons whose perceived health status was poor.

“…7 Recommended nonpharmacologic treatments for sleep disturbances typically include behavioral and cognitive behavioral therapies. These therapies have been shown to be effective 8 but not all patients have the discipline to change behaviors and some patients find these treatments to be burdensome.…”

Study Objectives: Sleep disturbances are commonly reported by cancer survivors. Systematic light exposure using bright light has been used to improve sleep in other populations. In this secondary data analysis, the effect of morning administration of bright light on sleep and sleep quality was examined in a mixed group of fatigued cancer survivors. Methods: Forty-four cancer survivors screened for cancer-related fatigue were randomized to either a bright white light or a comparison dim red light condition. Participants were instructed to use a light box every morning for 30 minutes for 4 weeks. Wrist actigraphy and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index were administered at 4 time points: prior to light treatment (baseline), 2 weeks into the intervention, during the last week of the intervention, and 3 weeks postintervention. Thirty-seven participants completed the end-of-intervention assessment. Results: Repeated-measures linear mixed models indicated a statistically significant time × treatment group interaction effect with sleep efficiency improving more in the bright light condition over time compared with the dim light condition (F3,42 = 5.55; P = .003) with a large effect size (partial η 2 = 0.28). By the end of the intervention and 3 weeks postintervention, mean sleep efficiency in the bright light group was in the normal range. Medium to large effect sizes were also seen in sleep quality, total sleep time, and wake after sleep onset for participants favoring the bright light condition. Conclusions:The results suggest that systematic bright light exposure in the morning may have beneficial effects on sleep in fatigued cancer survivors. Larger scale efficacy trials are warranted.
