ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
Sleep disorders are relatively common in oncology. However, they have not been well studied and are often treated insufficiently.AIM:
To assess the prevalence and severity of insomnia in lung cancer patients and evaluate the relationship between insomnia and certain clinical parameters.METHODS:
A cross-sectional study was undertaken of patients in Tunis with primary lung cancer. Socio-demographic and clinical data were obtained from the medical records Patients were then asked to answer questionnaires related to insomnia (ISI), depression-anxiety (HAD) and quality of life (QLQ-C30).RESULTS:
Fifty patients with lung cancer were included (46 men, 4 women). The average age was 59±9 years. Insomnia was found in 24 patients (48%) and 60% of patients had depression. HAD was significantly higher in the insomniac patients (21.54±8.96 vs. 9.81±5.28, P<0.0001). Similarly, the QLQ-C30 was significantly lower in these patients (41.24±12.55 vs. 56±16.88, P<0.01). ISI was significantly correlated with HAD and QLQ-C30.CONCLUSION:
Insomnia is common in patients with lung cancer. It is responsible for impaired quality of life and psychological distress. Diagnosis and management of insomnia in patients with lung cancer is therefore mandatory.Palavras-chave
