Individuals may develop SWD before, during, or after cancer treatment (Palesh et al., 2010; Savard, Ivers, Villa, Caplette-Gingras, & Morin, 2011). Sleep disorders are linked to increased risk for cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and obesity (Grandner, Jackson, Pak, & Gehrman, 2012; Hargens, Kaleth, Edwards, & Butner, 2013; St-Onge et al., 2016). The literature provides strong links between sleep dis- orders and poor work performance (Hui & Grandner, 2015) and lower QOL in healthy and ill individuals (Mercadante et al., 2015). People with cancer require assessment and management of SWD and sleep disorders to prevent poor health outcomes. This article builds on previously published Oncology Nursing Society (ONS) Putting Evidence Into Practice (PEP) SWD summaries (ONS PEP Project Teams, 2009; Page, Berger, & Johnson, 2006). The purpose is to crit- ically appraise the strength and quality of evidence regarding the safety and efficacy of nonpharmacologic and pharmacologic interventions for SWD in adults with cancer. Recommendations represent the most current best evi- dence; however, clinical judgment is needed to determine appropriate indi- vidual interventions. Sleep-Wake Disturbance Overview and Defnitions Although defining sleep is challenging, experts agree that sleep is an active, biobehavioral process and state of temporary perceptual disengagement from and unresponsiveness to the environment (Carskadon & Dement, 2011). The key functions of sleep are to conserve energy, maintain homeostasis, and re- store physiologic processes that degrade during wakefulness (Vassalli & Dijk, 2009). These functions are critical to physical and mental health, particularly in adults with cancer. Sleep medicine is a specialty area focused on sleep disorders. Each diagno- sis is identified by criteria in The International Classification of Sleep Disorders: Diagnostic and Coding Manual (ICSD-3) (3rd ed.)

38 CLINICAL JOURNAL OF ONCOLOGY NURSING VOLUME 22, NUMBER 1 CJON.ONS.ORG SLEEP-WAKE DISTURBANCE “The contributing factors and complex nature of sleep-wake disturbance make recommending one assessment tool or method difficult.” Medicine [AASM], 2014) and the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (5th ed.) (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). The most common category of sleep disorder in oncolo- gy and general populations is insomnia (Morin & Benca, 2012). In people with cancer, it is important to rule out other disor- ders, such as sleep-disordered breathing (e.g., obstructive sleep apnea) and sleep-related movement disorders (e.g., restless leg syndrome), before suggesting interventions for insomnia (Otte et al., 2015). This update provides resources for oncology nurses working with adults with SWD. The terms sleep disturbance and SWD are used by patients and clinicians prior to confirmation of a diagnosis (Berger, 2009). SWD is an actual or perceived change in sleep, with resulting daytime impairment (Berger et al., 2017). The clinical manifes- tation of SWD includes difficulty falling asleep, difficulty staying asleep, early morning awakenings, unrefreshing or nonrestor- ative sleep, or daytime sleepiness (Dickerson, Connors, Fayad, & Dean, 2014). PEP focuses on this initial level of SWD inter- ventions found to be effective in adults during cancer treatment and survivorship. Prevalence of Sleep-Wake Disturbance The prevalence of SWD in cancer populations is difficult to estimate because sleep screening and assessment are not per- formed routinely in practice (Berger, 2009; Siefert et al., 2014). However, numerous studies suggest that SWD is significantly more prevalent (30%–80%) in people with all cancer types com- pared to the general population and occurs during all phases of the cancer trajectory (Palesh et al., 2010, 2013; Savard et al., 2011). Impact of Sleep-Wake Disturbance After a cancer diagnosis, SWD has been associated with poorer QOL (Fleming, Gillespie, & Espie, 2010) and symptom clusters, including cancer-related fatigue and altered mood (Ancoli-Israel et al., 2014; Berger, Visovsky, Hertzog, Holtz, & Loberiza, 2012; Liu et al., 2012). Chronic sleep loss is associated with pain (Galiano- Castillo et al., 2017), poor adherence to treatments (Kidwell et al., 2014), and higher morbidity and mortality (Irwin, 2013). Cost–utility analysis (CUA) is the preferred way to assess in- tervention efficiency; it uses quality-adjusted life years (QALY) as the health-related outcome. Interventions are evaluated based on costs per extra QALY (e.g., increased lifespan, decreased morbidi- ties) (Neumann, Sanders, Russell, Siegel, & Ganiats, 2016). Direct and indirect intervention costs need to be evaluated (Greenberg, Earle, Fang, Eldar-Lissai, & Neumann, 2010). Arving, Brandberg, Feldman, Johansson, and Glimelius (2014) performed CUA of individual psychosocial support for women with breast cancer by nurses or psychologists compared to usual care. The study yielded significant outcomes about the cost-effectiveness (lower healthcare costs and higher QALY) of psychosocial support. Screening and Assessment The contributing factors and complex nature of SWD make rec- ommending one assessment tool or method for all situations difficult. Expert recommendations exist for the use of a brief, regular screening and focused assessment of SWD in cancer set- tings. The National Comprehensive Cancer Network ([NCCN], 2017), the ONS PEP team (Berger, Desaulniers, Matthews, Otte, & Page, 2014), and a Pan-Canadian expert panel (Howell et al., 2013) developed recommendations for screening, assessment, and interventions for SWD in adult cancer populations. The first step in these guidelines is screening by healthcare providers using standardized tools or a few brief questions at regular intervals or upon clinical status changes. The following are NCCN (2017) screening questions: ɐ Are you having problems falling asleep or staying asleep? ɐ Are you experiencing excessive sleepiness? ɐ Have you been told that you snore frequently or stop breathing during sleep? If the response to the screening questions is yes, the next step is a focused assessment of the nature of the sleep disturbance, contributing factors, and daytime consequences. Several instruments for common sleep disorders have ac- ceptable validity and reliability in adult cancer populations. The 19-item Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) (Buysse, Reynolds, Monk, Berman, & Kupfer, 1989), the seven-item Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) (Bastien, Vallières, & Morin, 2001; Savard, Savard, Simard, & Ivers, 2005), and the PROMIS sleep disturbance and sleep-related impairment items (Buysse et al., 2010) are widely used measures in adult cancer popula- tions. Quickly scored and easily interpreted obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) screening tools include STOP (snoring, tiredness, observed apnea, and blood pressure) and STOP-BANG (body mass index, age, neck circumference, and gender) (Chung et al., 2008; Nagappa et al., 2015). Excessive daytime sleepiness can

SWD is an actual or perceived change in sleep, with resulting daytime impairment (Berger et al., 2017).

PEP focuses on this initial level of SWD interventions found to be effective in adults during cancer treatment and survivorship.

Expert recommendations exist for the use of a brief, regular screening and focused assessment of SWD in cancer settings. The National Comprehensive Cancer Network ([NCCN], 2017), the ONS PEP team (Berger, Desaulniers, Matthews, Otte, & Page, 2014), and a Pan-Canadian expert panel (Howell et al., 2013) developed recommendations for screening, assessment, and interventions for SWD in adult cancer populations. The first step in these guidelines is screening by healthcare providers using standardized tools or a few brief questions at regular intervals or upon clinical status changes. The following are NCCN (2017) screening questions: ɐ Are you having problems falling asleep or staying asleep? ɐ Are you experiencing excessive sleepiness? ɐ Have you been told that you snore frequently or stop breathing during sleep? If the response to the screening questions is yes, the next step is a focused assessment of the nature of the sleep disturbance, contributing factors, and daytime consequences. Several instruments for common sleep disorders have acceptable validity and reliability in adult cancer populations. The 19-item Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) (Buysse, Reynolds, Monk, Berman, & Kupfer, 1989), the seven-item Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) (Bastien, Vallières, & Morin, 2001; Savard, Savard, Simard, & Ivers, 2005), and the PROMIS sleep disturbance and sleep-related impairment items (Buysse et al., 2010) are widely used measures in adult cancer populations. Quickly scored and easily interpreted obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) screening tools include STOP (snoring, tiredness, observed apnea, and blood pressure) and STOP-BANG (body mass index, age, neck circumference, and gender) (Chung et al., 2008; Nagappa et al., 2015). Excessive daytime sleepiness can CJON.ONS.ORG be screened quickly using the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) (Johns, 1991). Disruption of daily sleep-wake patterns may be identified using a sleep diary (Carney et al., 2012) or actigraphy (i.e., a small accelerometer device usually worn on the wrist that monitors sleep-wake cycles by recording activity) (Moore, Schmiege, & Matthews, 2015). Polysomnography, also called a sleep study, records sleep patterns, breathing, heart activity, and limb movement. It is used in research and by sleep specialists to diagnose sleep disorders (AASM, 2014). Cutoff scores for the PSQI, ISI, STOP-BANG, and ESS help guide decisions about appropriate sleep specialist referrals. For the PSQI, a total score of 5 or more indicates poor sleep quality (Buysse et al., 1989). ISI scores of 15–21 are indicative of moderate insomnia and 22–28 of severe insomnia (Bastien et al., 2001). A score of 5–8 on the STOP-BANG indicates a high risk of OSA (Chung et al., 2008), and ESS scores of 10 or more suggest excessive daytime sleepiness (Johns, 1991). Because SWDs occur throughout the cancer trajectory, regular, ongoing screening and assessment are vital to quality care (Siefert et al., 2014). Methods An extensive literature search was performed in PubMed and CINAHL®. This update includes published research studies retrieved from January 1, 2009, to January 31, 2017, in addition to 24 articles published prior to 2009 that were included in previous reviews. The PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) diagram is shown in Figure 1. The full search strategy, including search terms, can be found on the PEP website at https://www.ons.org/content/sleep-wake-disturbances -search-strategy. Inclusion criteria were: (a) full research report, systematic review, guideline, or meta-analysis; (b) study must report results of measurement of sleep disturbance or sleep quality; (c) the study examines an intervention aimed at affecting the symptom of sleep disturbance or sleep quality; and (d) study sample must include patients with cancer. Inclusion criteria have evolved in response to the quality and amount of evidence. As of January 2016, additions include the following: (a) sample size of at least 40 with at least 20 per study group and (b) for complex interventions, the description must identify intervention components. Studies were excluded if they were descriptive-only; project, annual, or activity reports; theses; dissertations; conference proceedings; or newsletters. The current PEP update writing team included RNs, advanced practice nurses, and nurse scientists. The team prepared tables of evidence and identified study design flaws using a standardized worksheet based on a taxonomy system to evaluate the quality of evidence for practice (Hadorn, Baker, Hodges, & Hicks, 1996). After critical appraisal of the evidence, the team classified the interventions using study quality, design, effect size, safety, and agreement among studies. The team examined the collective strength of each intervention and recommended the level of evi- CJON.ONS.ORG FIGURE 1.

Evidence Review The 2006 PEP recommendations for cancer-related SWD for practice, published in the Clinical Journal of Oncology Nursing, were based on 24 research studies published in 2005 or earlier (Page et al., 2006), with a brief update in 2009 (ONS PEP Project Teams, 2009). Many interventions for SWD have been published since 2006. Several interventions were examined in only one study, or the evidence was inconsistent. Many studies had small samples (less than 100) and design limitations. According to the PEP schema, these interventions remain as effectiveness not established. RECOMMENDED FOR PRACTICE: Cognitive behavioral intervention/approach (CBI/A) refers to interventions that reflect concepts from cognitive behavioral therapy. CBI/A helps individuals to identify helpful and maladaptive thoughts, feelings, and behaviors; establish goals; and develop skills to solve problems and implement beneficial coping behaviors (ONS, 2017). CBI/A for SWD has been confirmed as effective in the management of SWD in adults with cancer (see Table 1). Common evidence-based components of CBI/A are sleep restriction, stimulus control, sleep hygiene education, and cognitive therapy with or without relaxation (Morin & Benca, 2012). Mounting evidence from systematic reviews and meta-analyses indicates that CBI/A demonstrates VOLUME 22, NUMBER 1 CLINICAL JOURNAL OF ONCOLOGY NURSING 39 SLEEP-WAKE DISTURBANCE TABLE 1.

Evidence suggests that CBI/A can be delivered individually (Arving et al., 2007), in groups (Espie et al., 2008; Fleming, Randell, Harvey, & Espie, 2014; Hunter, Coventry, Hamed, Fentiman, & Grunfeld, 2009), and via video (Savard et al., 2014, 2016). Despite this body of evidence, some studies showed inconsistent results. In a systematic review, Garland, Johnson, et al. (2014) analyzed 12 studies, of which 9 showed positive effects of CBI/A on sleep and 3 others reported none. Several individual studies reported inconsistent effects (Barsevick et al., 2010; Carpenter, Neal, Payne, Kimmick, & Storniolo, 2007; Cohen & Fried, 2007; Kwekkeboom, Abbott-Anderson, & Wanta, 2010); however, the interventions did not focus solely on SWD. Although overall efficacious, how the components and delivery affected the sleep outcomes is unclear. The delivery method, dose, or timing of CBI/A may improve sleep in some but not all cancer populations. For example, CBI/A may have a greater effect in those with worse baseline SWD compared to mild SWD. The CBI/A studies under review primarily were conducted in the United States and Canada, designed as single- and multiinstitutional studies, and most involved women with breast cancer. Efforts need to be directed toward evaluation of CBI/A in diverse cancer populations across the disease trajectory. LIKELY TO BE EFFECTIVE: Mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) is a consciousness discipline that is grounded in Eastern philosophy and traditions, such as yoga and Buddhism, and focuses on awareness of the present moment. MBSR aims to teach people to cope more effectively through awareness of feelings, thoughts, and bodily sensations (ONS, 2017). MBSR may improve sleep by decreasing psychophysiologic arousal. Large and small studies across cancer populations and disease stage have tested interventions using MBSR principles, suggesting that MBSR is likely to be effective (see Table 2). No cancerspecific reviews focused on MBSR; however, a meta-analysis of 15 pooled RCTs of mind–body interventions including MBSR, meditation, yoga, and Qigong reported that combined mind–body intervention studies had a medium effect size on sleep outcomes (Chiu, Huang, Chen, Hou, & Tsai, 2015). A review of MBSR studies (one cancer study of seven) reported mixed results on sleep (Winbush, Gross, & Kreitzer, 2007). Two large RCTs (N greater than 100) examined the effect of MBSR on sleep outcomes. One reported short-term improvements in subjective sleep problems in women with breast cancer (Andersen et al., 2013). Another found that group-based MBSR reduced time to fall asleep (sleep latency) and wake after sleep onset (minutes awake during the sleep period) in mixed cancers (Garland, Carlson, et al., 2014). In smaller studies, MBSR demonstrated improvement in subjective insomnia severity (Johns et al., 2016), sleep efficiency (Lengacher et al., 2015; Shapiro, 44 CLINICAL JOURNAL OF ONCOLOGY NURSING VOLUME 22, NUMBER 1 Bootzin, Figueredo, Lopez, & Schwartz, 2003), sleep quality (Carlson & Garland, 2005; Carlson, Speca, Patel, & Goodey, 2003, 2004; Nakamura, Lipschitz, Kuhn, Kinney, & Donaldson, 2013; Shapiro et al., 2003), sleep latency, and number of awakenings (Lengacher et al., 2015). Limitations of MBSR studies included small samples, lack of attention control groups, unknown adherence to MBSR practice, and a wide range of interventions across studies. Exercise refers to physical activity that involves repetitive bodily movement performed to improve or maintain one or more components of physical fitness—cardiorespiratory endurance (aerobic fitness), muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility, or body composition (ONS, 2017). Studies suggest that exercise is likely to be effective for SWD (see Table 3). A meta-analysis of nine RCTs in people with cancer concluded that moderate-intensity walking has a modest effect on sleep improvement (Chiu et al., 2015). In a review of 56 RCTs and controlled trials, Mishra et al. (2012) concluded that exercise interventions improved sleep for as long as 12 weeks, with greater reduction in adults with cancers other than breast, and greater improvements from moderate to vigorous exercise. In contrast, a meta-analysis of 10 RCTs showed no effect of exercise on subjective or objective SWD compared to control groups (Mercier, Savard, & Bernard, 2016). A review of interventions for SWD reported no substantial effects of exercise on sleep outcomes (Langford et al., 2012). Larger RCTs and quasi-experimental studies (N greater than 100) supported positive trends. One community-based exercise study (Rajotte et al., 2012) showed improved insomnia ratings, and another RCT (Courneya et al., 2012) demonstrated improvement in participants with poor baseline sleep patterns. One home-based walking study (Wenzel et al., 2013) showed improved sleep quality, and another (Courneya et al., 2014) reported improved sleep quality and latency in women with breast cancer. However, in an RCT of 187 adults with multiple myeloma, no difference was seen in a home-based exercise versus control (Coleman et al., 2012). Additional studies show positive effects of exercise but are limited by small samples (N less than 100), quasi-experimental design, and breast cancer oversampling (Cheville et al., 2013; Mishra et al., 2012; Mock et al., 1997; Payne, Held, Thorpe, & Shaw, 2008; Rabin, Pinto, Dunsiger, Nash, & Trask, 2009; Rogers et al., 2014; Sprod et al., 2010; Swenson et al., 2014; Tang, Liou, & Lin, 2010; Wang, Boehmke, Wu, Dickerson, & Fisher, 2011). Other small studies reported conflicting results, with no effect of exercise on SWD (Kwiatkowski et al., 2013; Naraphong, Lane, Schafer, Whitmer, & Wilson, 2014; Young-McCaughan et al., 2003). The general benefits of exercise to improve sleep are supported by various studies but had mixed results in several sleep parameters and cancer populations. This lack of consistency is likely because of the variety of exercise interventions, delivery modalities, doses, and timing, sleep measures, and lack of adherence data.

EFFECTIVENESS NOT ESTABLISHED: This category includes interventions that have yet to be shown in the published literature to be effective in adults with cancer. Pharmacologic interventions have not been studied with sufficient rigor to draw conclusions regarding efficacy in people with cancer. The AASM (Sateia, Buysse, Krystal, Neubauer, & Heald, 2017) published a clinical practice guideline for pharmacologic treatment of chronic insomnia in adults without specific information regarding patients with 46 CLINICAL JOURNAL OF ONCOLOGY NURSING VOLUME 22, NUMBER 1 cancer. The National Cancer Institute (2016) and NCCN (2017) have synthesized information regarding U.S. Food and Drug Administration–approved sedative and hypnotic medications to guide clinicians who treat SWD. Sedative and hypnotic medications are accepted as beneficial for short-term use to treat SWD and often are prescribed along with nonpharmacologic strategies that take longer to show benefits (Sateia, Buysse, Krystal, Neubauer, & Heald, 2017). Selection of a sedative or hypnotic agent needs to be based on the type of sleep problem; see the AASM guideline for examples (Sateia, Buysse, Krystal, Neubauer, & Heald, 2017). Short-acting agents CJON.ONS.ORG IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE ɔ are preferred for sleep initiation, with long-acting agents used for sleep maintenance. Comorbid conditions; symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and pain; and other medications need to be considered. The decision to prescribe a sleep medication needs to be made carefully with awareness of potential adverse effects, drug–drug interactions, and safety issues (Sateia, Buysse, Krystal, Neubauer, & Heald, 2017). The preferred classes of prescription drugs for short-term use (less than seven days) by patients with SWD is benzodiazepines and non-benzodiazepine, benzodiazepine-receptor agonists (Sateia, Buysse, Krystal, Neubauer, & Heald, 2017). Zolpidem has shown benefits in patients with cancer (Joffe et al., 2010) and is included on the AASM, NCCN, and NCI lists (NCCN, 2017; NCI, 2016; Sateia, Buysse, Krystal, Neubauer, & Heald, 2017). Hypnotics and sedatives are not suggested because they create a hangover effect on waking and may result in reduced memory and performance, leading to impaired daytime functioning (Sateia, Buysse, Krystal, & Neubauer, 2017). Over-the-counter sleep aids that contain antihistamines, such as diphenhydramine, also have this effect (Sateia, Buysse, Krystal, Neubauer, & Heald, 2017). Sleep experts recommend initiating medications at a low dose, monitoring for side effects, and tapering slowly to prevent withdrawal symptoms and rebound insomnia (Sateia, Buysse, Krystal, Neubauer, & Heald, 2017). Nutritional and herbal supplements fall in the effectiveness not established category because of the limited quality and quantity of existing evidence. Herbal sleep aids, such as tryptophan and valerian, are strongly discouraged because of lack of information about outcomes (Sateia, Buysse, Krystal, Neubauer, & Heald, 2017) and interactions with cancer pharmaceuticals. In a limited number of studies in patients with cancer, melatonin has shown positive benefits (Chen et al., 2014; Hansen et al., 2014; Kurdi & Muthukalai, 2016; Lund Rasmussen et al., 2015; Madsen et al., 2016); however, the AASM guidelines do not recommend that clinicians use melatonin as a treatment for sleep onset or sleep maintenance insomnia (Sateia, Buysse, Krystal, Neubauer, & Heald, 2017). Because the published literature has not shown melatonin to be effective in adults with cancer, the PEP SWD team has categorized it as effectiveness not established. Similarly, complementary and alternative therapies and relaxation therapies remain in the effectiveness not established category based on the limited current evidence. Descriptions of these interventions and additional information are provided on the PEP SWD website (ONS, 2017). Most of the studies have small samples, nonrandom designs, and insufficient evidence to change PEP recommendations. ɔ ɔ Incorporate practice guidelines for sleep-wake disturbance (SWD) screening, focused assessments, education about SWD, and referrals to sleep specialists. Recommend the use of cognitive behavioral intervention/approach to improve SWD and discuss mindfulness-based stress reduction and exercise as interventions likely to be effective in improving cancer-related SWD. Remain up to date on the latest SWD research and practice recommendations, and develop or update workplace policies to include interventions categorized as recommended for practice or likely to be effective. informed nurses can help people with cancer in a variety of settings to recognize unhelpful thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors that lead to SWD. As a component of patient teaching, oncology nurses can provide information about sleep hygiene, sleep promotion, and trustworthy local and online resources, and arrange for sleep specialist referrals as needed. MBSR is likely to be effective. Nurses can provide evidencebased information and resources about MBSR for sleep improvement. Preliminary evidence suggests exercise is likely to be effective, but additional evidence is needed to determine the type and intensity of the exercise that is most beneficial to manage SWD. Nurses can partner with patients with cancer and survivors to design an appropriate physical activity program. Many interventions tested in few studies, with small samples and nonrandom designs, were rated effectiveness not established. Continued testing of promising interventions requires rigorous study designs that are adequately powered. To expand generalizability of results, SWD research with heterogeneous cancer populations with various age groups, ethnicities, cancer types, and treatments is warranted. Numerous interventions are behavioral and integrate tailoring; therefore, design considerations include dose intensity, timing, essential components, treatment fidelity measures, patient preferences, and adequate statistical power. Additional research in CBI/A is needed to determine the components, doses, and timing that are most effective in diverse cancer populations at different phases of cancer treatment and survivorship. Economic evaluation is essential to inform health policy and program development. This includes direct and indirect costs of the delivery of different modalities. Intervention studies that include critical health outcomes associated with SWD, such as weight gain, depression, other symptoms, and functioning, can increase the impact of sleep research. Scientific knowledge about effective SWD interventions in cancer populations is growing rapidly. To realize the return on investment for such knowledge and to improve public health, translational research in oncology practice is urgently needed. Implications for Practice and Research Sufficient evidence exists for CBI/A to be recommended for practice for SWD; however, access to CBI/A is hampered by the scarcity of trained providers and limited insurance coverage. However, CJON.ONS.ORG Conclusion As interventions for cancer-related SWD evolve, clinicians are challenged to evaluate the evidence and integrate the most effective VOLUME 22, NUMBER 1 CLINICAL JOURNAL OF ONCOLOGY NURSING 47 SLEEP-WAKE DISTURBANCE interventions in their practice.
