“…Lung cancer survivors also showed close to a 6-fold increased likelihood for short sleep using fully adjusted model at a marginally significant level. The results are consistent with the previous studies reporting that lung cancer patients and survivors had the highest prevalence of sleep problems including insomnia (Davidson et al, 2002;Baker et al, 2005;Akyuz et al, 2013); and this can possibly be explained by comorbid conditions such as pulmonary diseases and respiratory distress components frequently reported among lung cancer survivors (Sarna and Brecht, 1997;Sarna et al, 2002).…”

Background: Though a large proportion of cancer survivors are assumed to be commonly affected by sleep disturbance, few studies have focused on short sleep problems and its correlates among Korean cancer survivors. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of short sleep in adult cancer survivors from a nationwide population-based sample and to identify risk factors for short sleep duration. Materials and Methods: Based on the fourth and fifth Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (2007-2012), 1,045 cancer survivors and 33,929 non-cancer controls were analyzed. The prevalence of short sleep was compared between these two groups. Associations between short sleep and its correlates were evaluated using multiple logistic regression among cancer survivors: odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95%CIs) were estimated after adjusting for sociodemographic factors, lifestyle factors, psychological conditions, and cancer-related factors. Results: About 8.1% of cancer survivors slept for less than 5 hours per day (6.2% men and 9.3% women), whereas this was the case for only 3.7% of non-cancer controls. Cancer survivors who had the lowest household income level showed a significantly higher likelihood for short sleep (adjusted OR 2.82, 95%CI 1.06-7.54). Self-reported poor health and depressive symptoms were found to be associated with significantly increased likelihood for short sleep in cancer survivors (adjusted OR 3.60, 95%CI 1.40-9.26 and adjusted OR 2.00, 95%CI 1.17-3.42). Gastric cancer survivors had a 3.97-fold increased risk for short sleep (95%CI 1.60-9.90). Conclusions: The prevalence of short sleep occurs at a high rate among the Korean cancer survivors, which may indicate a poorer quality of life and a higher risk of future complications in survivorship. Targeted interventions that can assist cancer survivors to cope with sleep disturbances as well as ensuring psychological stability are warranted to reduce the latent disease burden.

“…69 -71 Research has shown that a significant proportion of Hodgkin disease survivors (22%), acute leukemia survivors (14 -31%), testicular cancer survivors (18%), long-term survivors of nonsmall cell lung cancer (22%), and breast cancer survivors (22-47%) report scores indicative of significant affective distress. 23,[72][73] A substantial proportion (33-54%) of BMT survivors experience significant psychological and emotional distress, such as mood disturbance, tension, and depression after completion of treatment. 16,18,74 High prevalence rates (45-65%) of anxiety and depression have been reported by breast cancer, BMT, colorectal, prostate, and lung cancer survivors.…”

“…Support from a coresident may influence both the quality of life of cancer sufferers and their need for external services, including in-patient admission. Studies of particular patient groups from a range of settings have reported that cancer patients who live alone report more distress, poorer adjustment to diagnosis and have a poorer quality of life than those living with others (Forsberg and Cedermark, 1996;Akechi et al, 1998;Rustoen et al, 1999;Sollner et al, 1999;Sarna et al, 2002). Living arrangements may also influence chance of a home death, for which many people with cancer report a preference (Davison et al, 2001; Serra-Prat, Gallo and Picaza, 2001).…”

Living arrangements and place of death of older people with cancer in England and Wales: a record linkage study

et al. 2004

The main objectives of the study were to (1) see whether the household circumstances of people aged 50 years and over with cancer, and trends in these, differ from those of the rest of the population and (2) whether living arrangements and presence and health status of a primary coresident are associated with place of death among older people dying of cancer and those dying from other causes. The design included prospective record linkage study of people aged 50 years and over included in a 1% sample of the population of England and Wales (the Office for National Statistics Longitudinal Study). The main outcome measures comprised family and household type, and death at home. The household circumstances of older people with cancer were very similar to those of the rest of the population of the same age and both showed a large increase in living alone, and decrease in living with relatives, between 1981 and 1991. The primary coresident of cancer sufferers who did not live alone was in most cases a spouse, with much smaller proportions living with a child, sibling or other person. In all, 30% of spouse, and 23% of other, primary coresidents had a limiting long-term illness. Compared with people who lived alone in 1991, odds of a home death among those dying of cancer between 1991 and 1995 were highest for those who lived with a spouse who had no limiting long-term illness (odds ratio (OR) 2.52, 95% confidence interval (CI) 2.15 -2.97) and raised for those living with a spouse with a long-term illness (OR 2.14, CI 1.79 -2.56) and those living with someone else who was free of long-term illness (OR 2.13, CI 1.69 -2.68). Higher socioeconomic status, both individual and area, was positively associated with increased chance of a home death, while older age reduced the chance of dying at home. The changing living arrangements of older people have important implications for planning and provision of care and treatment for cancer sufferers.

Quality of Life of Long-Term Survivors of Non–Small-Cell Lung Cancer

Abstract: These findings provide the first description of the QOL of long-term survivors of lung cancer. Risk factors for poorer QOL are strongly linked to distressed mood, which is a potential target for intervention.
