Behavioral Change Approaches to Sleep Disturbance in Cancer Patients: The History and the Road Ahead
,
Abstract
We are writing to bring the readers’ attention to the evolving perspectives in the treatment of sleep disturbance among cancer patients through behavioral change induction, rather than merely relying on medication. Sleep disturbance negatively affects these patients’ quality of life [1] and therapists increasingly need to understand the role of behavioral interventions in managing sleep problems, which are among distressing symptoms affecting this population.
