A Survey of Sleep Problems in Survivors of Breast Cancer
Individuals who consent to participate in this study will be asked to complete a battery of
questionnaires that will take approximately 1 hour. Based on answers they give to the
questionnaires, 45 patients will be asked to participate in a sleep study done at a sleep
lab.
If you choose to take part, then you will be asked to do the following:
Spend approximately 1 hour answering questionnaires either at the breast cancer center with
a research assistant, at home on the phone with a research assistant, or by completing the
questionnaires at home and returning them by mail. You will only be asked to complete
questionnaires one time. The questionnaires will ask you questions about your:
- Past medical history
- Demographics
- Sleep quality
- Sleep habits
- Energy level, pain, daytime sedation
- Quality of life
- Menopausal symptoms
- Depression
- Fears
If you are then selected to participate in the sleep study, further information will be
provided for you.
After you are finished with the questionnaires, the research assistant will provide you with
any necessary further information and feedback. The research assistant will also be able to
put you in contact with a study doctor should you require any further assistance. After you
are finished with the study, the study doctor may contact you for clarification of your
answer on a question, or for an answer if you have by any chance missed a question.
