Prevalence of Insomnia and Associated Factors in Female Patients Undergoing Chemotherapy
Insomnia was highly prevalent among female cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. Younger age, presence of pain, psychiatric comorbidities (particularly depression and/or anxiety), and metastatic disease status emerged as significant correlates. Considering the relationship between insomnia and physical and psychological distress, it is anticipated that regular screening and treatment approaches for insomnia will contribute to the holistic cancer care process by improving patient quality of life.
