“…Aktas et al [28] also indicated a positive correlation between the level of anxiety and sleep quality (the greater the anxiety of patients in the postoperative period, the worse the quality of sleep). Similar results were obtained by Özlü et al [29], who studied the ability to cope with preoperative stress in cardiological patients. Also, studies by Palagini et al [30] emphasized the impact of anxiety/ stress on the quality and character of sleep of hospitalized patients.…”

Introduction:Sleep is a physiological need of every person and ensures proper quality of physical and mental health. The symptom of fatigue lowers quality of life, making it difficult to function in physical, mental, and social dimensions. Poor sleep quality and the symptom of fatigue are often observed in surgically treated patients. Objective and Methodology:The aim of the study was to assess the quality of sleep and the level of fatigue in surgically treated patients at three time intervals -the day before the surgery (Study I), the day of the surgery (Study II), and the day of discharge from the hospital (Study III). Additionally, an attempt was made to determine the relationship between the subjective assessment of sleep quality and the symptom of fatigue and the following variables: gender, pain, anxiety, surgical site, and surgical method. The study included 60 patients. Data were collected using the PSQI and FACIT-F questionnaires. Conclusion:A relationship between fatigue and sleep in surgically treated patients was demonstrated. Surgically treated patients have better sleep quality at home before the procedure than during their stay in the hospital after the procedure. The location and method of the surgical procedure did not affect the patients' sleep quality. Pain was indicated as one of the main factors worsening sleep quality after surgery by 31.7% of patients. Women and men experience fatigue with different frequency and intensity. Surgically treated patients have reduced sleep quality and increased fatigue levels. Taking these aspects into account will allow for holistic planning of the treatment and care process in surgically treated patients.

“…Higher scores represent better sleep quality. Scores between 0 and 25 represent very poor sleep, scores of 26–50 poor sleep, scores 51–75 good sleep, and 76–100 very good sleep [ 10 – 12 ]. The items of the RCSQ are shown in Supplementary Table 2 .…”

Background Quality of life in cancer patients might be affected by chemotherapy-induced toxicity. Especially in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), with a short life expectancy, fear of poor quality of life is often a reason for both patients and medical oncologists to refrain from further treatment. In this study, we investigated quality of life (QoL), pain, sleep, and activity levels in locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC) patients after FOLFIRINOX treatment. Methods A total of 41 LAPC patients with stable disease or partial response were included after completion of at least four cycles of FOLFIRINOX. QoL was measured with the EORTC QLQ-C30 and NRS pain scores. Patients completed the Richards-Campbell Sleep Questionnaire (RCSQ) for five consecutive nights and wore a GENEActiv tri-axial accelerometer (Actiwatch) for 7 days, registering sleep duration, efficiency, and activity. Results Mean EORTC QLQ-C30 score for global health status was 78.3 (± 17.3), higher than reference values for cancer patients (P < 0.001) and general population (P = 0.045). LAPC patients reported few disease-related symptoms. Two patients (5%) reported pain scores > 3. Mean sleep duration was 8 h/night (± 1.2 h) and sleep efficiency 70% (± 9%) with high patient-reported quality of sleep (mean RCSQ score 72.0 ± 11.4). Mean duration of moderate-vigorous activity was 37 min/week (± 103 min/week). Conclusions QoL is very good in most LAPC patients with disease control after FOLFIRINOX, measured with validated questionnaires and Actiwatch registration. The fear of clinical deterioration after FOLFIRINOX is not substantiated by this study and should not be a reason to refrain from treatment. Trial registration Dutch trial register NL7578.

“…In this study, the sleep quality was just above the midpoint of the scale (RCSQ mean 54). The overall interpretation of the RCSQ is <26 as very poor sleep and >76 as very good sleep (Karaman Özlü et al, 2018;Krotsetis et al, 2017;Mannion et al, 2019;Missildine et al, 2010b). The reported sleep quality among patients variates from poor sleep quality in the emergency departments (RCSQ mean 22±45) to a very good sleep (RCSQ mean 77±34) at an in-bed ward (Mannion et al, 2019) to ICU patients between RCSQ 52.1 to 60 (Louis et al, 2020;Richards et al, 2000b).…”

Orthopeadic patients have significant lower sleep quality (RCSQ mean 26±28) compared to patients undergoing general (RCSQ mean 47±31) or cardiovascular surgery (RCSQ mean 74±18) (Karaman Özlü et al, 2018). In all, Danish orthopeadic nurses do provide a reasonable sleep quality to their patients despite the need for further improvement.…”
