Developing and Testing of Culturally Appropriate Behavioral Intervention Programs for Hispanic Cancer Survivors With Insomnia
This study focuses on improving insomnia among Hispanic cancer survivors.
The three goals are to (1) culturally adapt Body-Mind Training and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) with input from Hispanic cancer survivors, (2) determine whether the two programs are feasible and acceptable, and (3) explore whether they improve insomnia.
研究概览
详细说明
This study focuses on improving insomnia among Hispanic cancer survivors by adapting and testing two culturally appropriate sleep programs.
First, up to 32 Hispanic cancer survivors will participate in four focus groups, with 6-8 participants per group, to provide feedback to help culturally adapt a Body-Mind Training (BMT) program and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) in both English and Spanish.
Eight of these participants will also complete individual interviews to provide additional feedback on the adapted programs.
Second, 58 Hispanic cancer survivors with insomnia will participate in a randomized pilot study comparing BMT and CBT-I to determine whether the programs are feasible, acceptable, and practical for participants to complete.
Third, the study will explore whether BMT and CBT-I improve insomnia, using both participant-reported insomnia symptoms and objective sleep measures collected with a wrist-worn activity monitor.
Sleep will be assessed before the program, shortly after it ends, and three months later.
The findings will help inform the design of a larger study comparing these approaches for treating insomnia among Hispanic cancer survivors.

- Have/had a confirmed diagnosis of a solid tumor or hematologic malignancy
- Completion of primary cancer treatment in the past 3 months - 5years (may be on hormonal therapy and/or immunotherapy or other long-term therapies) Report sleep difficulties ≥3 times per week for ≥3 months consistentwith DSM-5 insomnia criteria4,
- Must have a score of ≥10 on the Insomnia Severity Index
- Must have a personal mobile device (i.e., mobile smart phone, laptop, desktop computer, tablet) with active internet
- Be able to read and understand English and/or Spanish

- Shift worker,
- Life expectancy <12 months,
- Health conditions that may interfere with the intervention: respiratory, cardiovascular, or neurological problems.
- Participants with a history of diagnosed sleep apnea or restless leg syndrome (RLS) will be excluded from the study, as both increase the risk for insomnia. All other participants will complete the STOP-Bang Sleep Apnea Screening Tool and a single RLS screening question during screening, as both are underdiagnosed in Hispanics. Those scoring ≥ 5 on the STOP-Bang, indicating high risk for moderate-to-severe sleep apnea, or who respond with 'Yes' on the RLS risk tool, will also be excluded and referred to a sleep medicine specialist for evaluation.

This measure consists of 27 items designed to measure four domains of quality of life in cancer patients: physical, social, emotional, and functional well-being.
Coefficients of reliability and validity are uniformly high.
The scale's ability to discriminate among patients based on disease stage, performance status rating (PSR), and hospitalization status supports its sensitivity.
It has also demonstrated sensitivity to change over time.
The FACT-G is available and validated in English and Spanish.

It combines the 2-item Generalized Anxiety Disorder scale (GAD-2) and the 2-item Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-2), with higher scores indicating greater psychological distress.
The PHQ-4 has demonstrated good internal consistency (Cronbach's α ≈ 0.81) and strong validity and is available in both English and Spanish.

This scale is frequently used with cancer survivors because it has established minimally important differences.
This 13-item scale assesses the level of fatigue during usual activities over the past 7 days, with higher scores indicating less fatigue (score range=0-52; Cronbach's alpha=0.86).
The FACIT-F is available in English and Spanish and validated in Spanish-speaking populations.

Comorbidities will be assessed with the Charlson Comorbidity Index.
It is a weighted index that considers both the number and the seriousness of comorbid diseases.
It consists of 19 items, each with an assigned weight from 1 to 6 according to the relative risk of dying within a year.
In general, the absence of comorbidity is considered: 0-1 points; low comorbidity: 2 points; and high comorbidity:≥3 points.

Acculturation will be measured with the Short Acculturation Scale for Hispanics (SASH).
The 12-item scale (explaining 67.6% of the variance for Hispanics) correlates highly with the following validation criteria: respondents' generation, length of residence in the U.S., age at arrival, ethnic self-identification, and an acculturation index.
The SASH is available and validated in English and Spanish.
