Abstract
Introduction: Sleep disorders such as difficulty in falling asleep, maintaining sleep, poor sleep efficiency, early awakening and excessive daytime sleepiness are among the adverse effects that are experienced frequently but they are widely underdiagnosed. Therefore, addressing problems related to
sleep among cancer patients could carry out better implications to improve quality of sleep, enhancing treatment outcomes.
Aim: To evaluate quality of sleep and to detect associated factors of sleep quality among cancer patients. Methods: The cross-sectional study was conducted among 104 cancer patients treated at the Oncology Department, Hue University of Medicine and Pharmacy hospital. Sleep quality (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index), severity of anxiety and depression (Patient Health Questionnaire - Anxiety and Depression Scale) were accessed in the present study. Linear regression analysis was used to investigate the association
between sleep quality and its related factors.
Results: The mean age of study population was 59.6 ± 11.7. The average PSQI score was 10.6 ± 5.2. 79.8% cancer patients had poor sleep quality (PSQI score > 5). 50% patients had difficulty falling asleep and 46.2% patients reported sleep of < 5 hours per day. There were statistically associations between quality of sleep and gender, depression/anxiety (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: The majority of cancer patients had poor sleep quality. This study points out that sleep is of great importance among cancer patients, which should not be neglected during the diagnosis and treatment procedure.
Keyword: Quality of sleep, cancer patient, depression, anxiety.
