Description détaillée
Sleep disturbance is one of the most frequently reported symptoms among patients undergoing chemotherapy. Multiple factors contribute to impaired sleep in this population, including treatment-related side effects, psychological stress, fatigue, pain, and inflammatory responses associated with cancer and its treatment. Poor sleep quality may adversely affect treatment adherence, physical functioning, emotional health, and overall quality of life.
Non-pharmacological interventions have gained increasing attention as safe and cost-effective approaches for managing sleep disturbances in cancer patients. Progressive Muscle Relaxation is a technique that involves systematic contraction and relaxation of specific muscle groups to reduce physical tension and promote relaxation. Diaphragmatic Breathing focuses on slow, deep breathing using the diaphragm to enhance parasympathetic nervous system activity and reduce physiological arousal.
This study will employ a randomized controlled trial design. Eligible chemotherapy patients who meet the inclusion criteria will be randomly allocated to either an intervention group or a control group. Participants in the intervention group will receive a structured program consisting of Progressive Muscle Relaxation and Diaphragmatic Breathing exercises in addition to routine medical care. Participants in the control group will receive routine medical care only.
Sleep outcomes will be evaluated before and after the intervention period using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, sleep diary recordings, and wearable sleep monitoring devices. The findings of this study may provide evidence regarding the effectiveness of combined relaxation and breathing techniques as supportive interventions for improving sleep quality among patients undergoing chemotherapy.

Armes et Interventions
Groupe de participants / Bras |
Intervention / Traitement |
|---|---|
|
Expérimental: PMR and Diaphragmatic Breathing Group
Participants will receive Progressive Muscle Relaxation and Diaphragmatic Breathing exercises in addition to traditional medical treatment during the study period.
|
Participants will receive a structured program of Progressive Muscle Relaxation and Diaphragmatic Breathing exercises in addition to traditional treatment .
The intervention is designed to promote relaxation, reduce physiological arousal, and improve sleep quality in patients undergoing chemotherapy.
|
|
Aucune intervention: Traditional treatment group
Participants will receive traditional medical treatment only without the relaxation and breathing intervention program.

Que mesure l'étude ?
Principaux critères de jugement
Mesure des résultats |
Description de la mesure |
Délai |
|---|---|---|
|
Sleep Quality
Délai: Baseline (pre-intervention) and after 4 weeks of intervention (post-intervention)
|
Assessment of sleep quality using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI).
The PSQI total score is measured in points and ranges from 0 to 21, with higher scores indicating poorer sleep quality.
A total score greater than 5 indicates clinically significant sleep disturbance.
A reduction in the PSQI score from baseline to post-intervention reflects an improvement in sleep quality.
Changes in PSQI scores will be used to evaluate the effect of Progressive Muscle Relaxation and Diaphragmatic Breathing exercises on sleep disturbances in patients undergoing chemotherapy.

Description de la mesure |
Délai |
|---|---|---|
|
Sleep Latency
Délai: Baseline (pre-intervention) and after 4 weeks of intervention (post-intervention)
|
Assessment of the time required to fall asleep, measured in minutes using sleep diary records and a wearable wristband sleep monitor.
A decrease in sleep latency reflects improvement in sleep initiation.
|
Baseline (pre-intervention) and after 4 weeks of intervention (post-intervention)
|
|
Sleep Efficiency
Délai: Baseline (pre-intervention) and after 4 weeks of intervention (post-intervention)
|
Assessment of sleep efficiency, measured as a percentage (%) of total time spent asleep relative to total time spent in bed, using sleep diary records and a wearable wristband sleep monitor.
Higher percentages indicate better sleep efficiency.
|
Baseline (pre-intervention) and after 4 weeks of intervention (post-intervention)
|
|
Total Sleep Time
Délai: Baseline (pre-intervention) and after 4 weeks of intervention (post-intervention)
|
Assessment of total sleep duration, measured in hours per night using sleep diary records and a wearable wristband sleep monitor.
An increase in total sleep time reflects improvement in sleep quantity.
|
Baseline (pre-intervention) and after 4 weeks of intervention (post-intervention)
|
|
Number of Nocturnal Awakenings
Délai: Baseline (pre-intervention) and after 4 weeks of intervention (post-intervention)
|
Assessment of the frequency of awakenings during the night, measured as the number of awakenings per night using sleep diary records and a wearable wristband sleep monitor.
A lower number of nocturnal awakenings indicates improved sleep continuity.
