Abstract

Background: Patients with head and neck cancer often experience impaired sleep. Moreover, the treatment may negatively affect sleep quality. The aim of this observational study was to evaluate the sleep quality after treatment for head and neck cancer, and its relationship with quality of life and psychological distress.

Methods: A total of 151 patients who underwent treatment for head and neck cancer at our department were included in the study. Quality of life, sleep quality, risk of sleep apnea, sleepiness, pain, and psychological distress were assessed by means of specific questionnaires.

Results: The median follow-up was 30 months. Poor sleep quality was observed in 55.6% of the cases. An association between PSQI global sleep quality and EORTC global health status was found. The DT, HADS anxiety, and HADS depression scores were associated to PSQI global score, sleep quality, sleep latency, sleep disturbances, and daytime dysfunction.

Conclusions: Sleep disturbances, particularly OSA and insomnia, are frequent in HNC patients, and significantly impact their quality of life and psychological well-being. Given the effect of sleep on overall well-being, addressing sleep disorders should be a priority in the care of HNC patients.

头颈癌患者的睡眠质量

背景：头颈部癌症患者经常会出现睡眠障碍。此外，治疗可能会对睡眠质量产生负面影响。本观察性研究旨在评估头颈癌患者治疗后的睡眠质量，以及睡眠质量与生活质量和心理压力之间的关系：研究共纳入了 151 名在我院接受头颈癌治疗的患者。结果：中位随访时间为 30 个月：中位随访时间为 30 个月。55.6%的患者睡眠质量不佳。PSQI 整体睡眠质量与 EORTC 整体健康状态之间存在关联。DT、HADS 焦虑和 HADS 抑郁评分与 PSQI 综合评分、睡眠质量、睡眠潜伏期、睡眠障碍和日间功能障碍相关：睡眠障碍，尤其是 OSA 和失眠，在 HNC 患者中很常见，严重影响了他们的生活质量和心理健康。鉴于睡眠对整体健康的影响，解决睡眠障碍问题应成为 HNC 患者护理的优先事项。

期刊介绍： Current Oncology is a peer-reviewed, Canadian-based and internationally respected journal. Current Oncology represents a multidisciplinary medium encompassing health care workers in the field of cancer therapy in Canada to report upon and to review progress in the management of this disease. We encourage submissions from all fields of cancer medicine, including radiation oncology, surgical oncology, medical oncology, pediatric oncology, pathology, and cancer rehabilitation and survivorship. Articles published in the journal typically contain information that is relevant directly to clinical oncology practice, and have clear potential for application to the current or future practice of cancer medicine.
