Purpose: Patients with prostate cancer have high survival rates, but report low Quality of Life (QOL) due to sleep difficulties. This scoping review aimed to explore and identify current publication trends, major concepts, measurements, and interventions regarding sleep disturbance in patients with prostate cancer. Methods: Using the Arksey & O'Malley scoping review method, structured searches for articles published from 2000 to 2021 were conducted on six electronic databases using a combination of the terms "prostate cancer", "malignant neoplasm of prostate", "sleep*", "circadian rhythm", and "insomnia". Results: Thirty-one studies were reviewed. The publication rate has increased from 6.5% (2000~2005) to 51.6% (2016~2021). The Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) was the most frequently used subjective measurement. Objective measurements to measure sleep quality or sleep disturbance included actigraphy and Polysomnography (PSG). The incidence of sleep disturbance in patients with prostate cancer was 8.0% to 75.9%, and hormone and radiation therapy, hot flashes, and nocturia were identified as influencing factors. Intervention strategies presented were Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and qigong or tai chi programs. Conclusion: Interest in sleep disturbance in patients with prostate cancer is increasing. Further studies are expected to measure the prevalence of sleep disturbance using objective and subjective measurements in various ways. Nurses must consider tailored interventions based on the individual characteristics of patients with prostate cancer. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
