The impact of social support and social constraints on sleep disturbances in patients with lung cancer undergoing chemotherapy: Serial mediators of sleep cognition and anxiety-depression

This study elucidates the psychosocial pathways through which social support and social constraints affect sleep disturbances in patients with lung cancer. To alleviate sleep problems in this population, health care providers should focus on enhancing perceived social support and reducing social constraints. Simultaneously, interventions targeting dysfunctional sleep cognition (e.g., sleep hygiene education, cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia) and addressing anxiety-depression symptoms are essential components of comprehensive care.
