| Title: Effect of Two Interventions on Sleep Quality for Adolescent and Young Adult Cancer Survivors: A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial | |
| Abstract: Background: Sleep disturbance was common among in adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer survivors. Physical activity (PA) and behavioral activation (BA) therapy were effective for enhancing sleep quality. However, there were few researches on the effects of different interventions that were rigorously designed and combined with the technology to promote sleep quality in AYA cancer patients. Objective: Aimed to investigate the feasibility and effects of intelligent wearable device-based PA therapy and Internet-based modified BA therapy to improve sleep quality among AYA cancer patients. Methods: A randomized controlled trial with 143 AYA cancer patients from a hospital and public media was conducted. Randomly assign participants to control group (N=48), which performed routine care, PA group (N=47), which received 8-week PA therapy based on intelligent wearable devices, and BA group (N=48), which participated internet-based modified BA therapy for 8 weeks. Results: At 1 week and 3 months after the intervention, for sleep quality, there were statistically significant differences between the PA group and the control group (P=.020), while no statistically significant difference between the BA group and the control group. Conclusions: The intelligent wearable device-based PA therapy has more advantages than internet-based modified BA therapy in improving the overall state of AYA cancer patients, and the intervention effect sustained at least 3 months. Implications for practice: Developing PA plans and implement for appropriate AYA cancer survivors were effective methods to improve sleep quality. Social media, intelligent wearable devices and mobile health applications have unique advantages in promoting healthy among AYA cancer patients. | |
