研究概览
简要总结
The purpose of this study is to gain greater understanding of the problems breast cancer survivors experience related to difficulty sleeping and insomnia. Poor sleep can affect a person's mood, increase feelings of fatigue, as well as pain. A greater knowledge and understanding of sleep disturbances can lead to more effective treatment of sleep problems and significantly improve quality of life.
详细描述
Individuals who consent to participate in this study will be asked to complete a battery of questionnaires that will take approximately 1 hour. Based on answers they give to the questionnaires, 45 patients will be asked to participate in a sleep study done at a sleep lab.
If you choose to take part, then you will be asked to do the following:
Spend approximately 1 hour answering questionnaires either at the breast cancer center with a research assistant, at home on the phone with a research assistant, or by completing the questionnaires at home and returning them by mail. You will only be asked to complete questionnaires one time. The questionnaires will ask you questions about your:
- Past medical history
- Demographics
- Sleep quality
- Sleep habits
- Energy level, pain, daytime sedation
- Quality of life
- Menopausal symptoms
- Depression
- Fears
If you are then selected to participate in the sleep study, further information will be provided for you.
