  • Primary Purpose: Supportive Care
  • Allocation: Non-Randomized
  • Interventional Model: Sequential Assignment
  • Masking: None (Open Label)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
No Intervention: Pre-Intervention Qualitative Interviews
Qualitative interviews will be conducted with breast cancer survivors, survivors' caregivers, cancer support group leaders and clinicians regarding sleep disturbance in breast cancer survivors and preferences for an intervention for sleep disturbance.
Experimental: Videoconference Spanish-language Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I)
Behavioral: New Spanish-language Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) delivered via videoconference
Behavioral: Spanish-language Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) delivered via videoconference
Six sessions of Spanish-language Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) delivered via videoconference. Sessions address topics such as sleep education, sleep hygiene, sleep restriction, stimulus control, relapse prevention, and cognitive restructuring.
No Intervention: Waitlist control group
No intervention until 6 weeks after the baseline assessment, at which point participants complete a follow-up assessment and then are offered the new CBT-I intervention.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Acceptability of New Intervention for Cancer-Related Sleep Disturbances
Time Frame: approximately 6 weeks after first intervention session
The study will be deemed acceptable if ≥ 50% of eligible cancer survivors who are approached agree to participate and > 50% of intervention group participants report that, on average, they agree with positive statements about the intervention (i.e., report an average score of ≥3 on a scale of 0 to 4).
approximately 6 weeks after first intervention session
Feasibility of New Intervention for Cancer-Related Sleep Disturbances
Time Frame: approximately 6 weeks after first intervention session
The study will be deemed feasible if ≥ 75% of the intervention group participants attend at least half of the educational components of the intervention. This will be operationalized as having attended at least half of the sessions.
approximately 6 weeks after first intervention session

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Efficacy of New Intervention
Time Frame: approximately 6 weeks after first intervention session
Efficacy of the newly created intervention will be assessed using (a) Scores on the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, which consists of 19 individual items creating 7 components that produce one global score. Each item is weighted on a 0-3 interval scale. The global score is calculated by totaling the 7 component scores, producing a score ranging from 0-21, where lower scores denote a healthier sleep quality. (b) the Insomnia Severity Index, which has 7 questions on a 0-4 scale. Items are totaled to produce a score ranging from 0-28, where higher scores denote worse insomnia severity.
approximately 6 weeks after first intervention session
