Survivorship Sleep Program
Adapted Telehealth Intervention for Insomnia Among Cancer Survivors
Study Overview
Status
Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), is an evidenced-based insomnia program that is recommended by the American College of Physicians and can be delivered using session-by-session treatment manuals.
Among cancer survivors, CBT-I has only yielded small-to-moderate sized improvements in several aspects of sleep, including sleep efficiency, sleep onset latency, and wake after sleep onset as compared with inactive control conditions. Moreover, systematic reviews of CBT-I with cancer survivors have found high rates of attrition and low attendance. Thus, while CBT-I for cancer survivors is promising, further adaptation is needed to demonstrate greater feasibility and larger effects. Additionally, CBT-I is traditionally delivered in-person, which is not feasible for many cancer survivors. Barriers include time limitations, travel, and illness burden constraints, as well as a paucity of trained CBT-I providers. Telehealth delivery of CBT-I is an innovative approach to address these barriers to care and enhance uptake.
The intervention being tested in this study was informed by a 4-10 session CBT-I protocol and adapted based on interviews the investigators conducted with cancer survivors with insomnia to learn about their sleep-related challenges, suggestions, and preferences for intervention delivery, as well as a systematic review and meta-analysis the investigators published in Sleep Medicine Reviews in 2020.
The research study procedures include screening for eligibility and randomization into 1 of 2 study arms: the Adapted Virtual Intervention Group or a Control Group (Enhanced Usual Care; referral for behavioral sleep medicine and sleep hygiene handout). Participants will be in this research study for approximately 2 months. It is expected that about 40 people will take part in this research study.

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
EXPERIMENTAL: Intervention- Adapted Virtual Insomnia Program
4 sessions (approximately 45 min/each, weekly) plus 3 check-ins (approximately 15 min/each, between-sessions) delivered virtually.
Sessions are modeled after a published, evidence-based CBT-I protocol and adapted to target needs and preferences identified by cancer survivors.
Interventionists will participate in weekly supervision.
Approximately half of participants will be asked to wear sleep trackers for one-week prior to starting the intervention (T0) and one-week after completing the intervention (T1).

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Feasibility: Enrollment rate of those screened and eligible
Time Frame: T0 (Baseline)- T2(1 Month Post-Intervention Follow Up): 2 Months
|
Percent of those screened and eligible who enroll (i.e., sign consent and complete baseline).
Reasons for ineligibility, refusal, or drop out, will also be measured along with session attendance.
|
T0 (Baseline)- T2(1 Month Post-Intervention Follow Up): 2 Months
|
Acceptability: 5 item measure of enjoyableness, convenience, helpfulness, odds of future use, and overall satisfaction
Time Frame: T0 (Baseline)- T1 (Post-Intervention): 1 Month
|
Participants will be asked to rate the enjoyableness, convenience, helpfulness, odds of future use, and overall satisfaction (1=very low to 5=very high) of the program in exit interviews, which will use open-ended questions and response probes to explicate each rating.
|
T0 (Baseline)- T1 (Post-Intervention): 1 Month
|
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Change in Insomnia Severity
Time Frame: T0 (Baseline)- T1(Post-Intervention): 1 Month
|
Change in insomnia severity (T0-T1) will be assessed using the validated Insomnia Severity Index (ISI).
Scores of 15 or higher on the ISI indicate clinically significant insomnia.
|
T0 (Baseline)- T1(Post-Intervention): 1 Month
|
Other Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Exploratory Outcome: Change in nightly subjective sleep and covariance with objective sleep
Time Frame: T0 (Baseline)- T2(1 Month Post-Intervention Follow Up): 2 Months
|
Subjective Sleep: Measured via sleep diary (T0-T2).
Total sleep time, sleep latency, sleep efficiency, and wake after sleep onset will be assessed using a sleep diary (i.e., timings of sleep/wake, timings of being in bed) for 1-2 weeks to achieve 7 consecutive days of sleep reporting at each timepoint.
|
T0 (Baseline)- T2(1 Month Post-Intervention Follow Up): 2 Months
|
Exploratory Outcome: Change in nightly objective sleep and covariance with subjective sleep
Time Frame: T0 (Baseline)- T1(Post-Intervention): 1 Month
|
Objective Sleep: Measured via actigraphy data collection (T0-T1).
During the same time period as participants complete the sleep diary, objective sleep will be assessed among a subgroup of approximately 10 participants in the intervention arm (counterbalanced) using actigraphy devices to calculate: total sleep time, sleep latency, sleep efficiency, wake after sleep onset, and a Mean Activity Score (actigraph counts/min).
|
T0 (Baseline)- T1(Post-Intervention): 1 Month
