Article Synopsis
- The study investigates sleep problems in cancer survivors, finding a prevalence of 17% among them compared to 11% in the general population, with variations across different cancer types but not based on how long they have been survivors.
- Factors contributing to sleep issues include being female, overweight, having comorbidities, smoking habits, and experiencing high levels of fatigue, anxiety, and depression.
- Recommendations for improving sleep among cancer survivors include promoting physical activity, addressing mental health issues, and modifying lifestyle choices like smoking and alcohol consumption.
Background: The Institute of Medicine recommends Survivorship Care Plans (SCPs) for all cancer survivors. However, it is unclear whether certain patient groups may or may not benefit from SCPs.
Objective: The aim was to assess whether the effects of an automatically generated paper SCP on patients' satisfaction with information provision and care, illness perceptions, and health care utilization were moderated by disease-related Internet use.
Objectives: To examine psychosocial factors, BMI, perceived weight, and demographics as correlates of adolescents' intentions to prevent excessive weight gain.
Methods: Students (12-13 years) completed questionnaires at baseline and 4-month follow-up. Regression analyses were performed (n=345).
