Randomized trial of a cognitive-behavioral intervention for insomnia in breast cancer survivors
Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVES: To determine the efficacy of a cognitive-behavioral intervention for treating insomnia in breast cancer survivors. DESIGN: Randomized controlled trial. SETTING: University and medical center settings. SAMPLE: 72 women at least three months after primary treatment for breast cancer with sleep-onset or sleep maintenance insomnia at least three nights per week for at least three months as determined through daily sleep diaries. METHODS: Random assignment to a multicomponent intervention (stimulus control instructions, sleep restriction, and sleep education and hygiene) or a single-component control group (sleep education and hygiene). MAIN RESEARCH VARIABLES: Sleep-onset latency, wake after sleep onset, total sleep time, time in bed, sleep efficiency, and sleep quality. FINDINGS: After the intervention, both groups improved on sleep-onset latency, wake after sleep onset, total sleep time, time in bed, sleep efficiency, and sleep quality based on daily sleep diaries. A between-group difference existed for time in bed. Wrist actigraph data showed significant pre- to postintervention changes for sleep-onset latency, wake after sleep onset, total sleep time, and time in bed. When compared to the control group, the multicomponent intervention group rated overall sleep as more improved. CONCLUSIONS: A nonpharmacologic intervention is effective in the treatment of insomnia in breast cancer survivors. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING: Breast cancer survivors can benefit from a cognitive-behavioral intervention for chronic insomnia. Sleep education and hygiene, a less complex treatment than a multicomponent intervention, also is effective in treating insomnia.

The less convincing effects of CBT-I on sleep quality could be due to negative or smaller effects in studies assessing sleep quality without focusing on insomnia severity, including studies with active controls or studies not using insomnia as an inclusion criterion.
“This result could be due to negative or smaller effects in studies assessing sleep quality without focusing on insomnia severity, including studies with active controls (50, 58) or studies not using insomnia as an inclusion criterion (85).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
