Abstract

Background: Breast cancer is The most frequent cancer among women worldwide. According to the American Psychiatric Association, diagnosed patients will develop traumatic stressors that could interfere with performance, such as work and social function. History of treatment such as radiotherapy, surgery, chemotherapy, and hormone therapy could lead to weakness and weight loss and affect psychological function. These could negatively impact the patient’s quality of life. Sleep disturbance is a common complication found in more than 70% of advanced cancer patients, usually caused by the disease itself or the use of painkiller drugs to reduce pain during treatment.

Methods: This was a correlational analysis with a cross-sectional study approach. Non-probability sampling technique, as part of consecutive sampling, was used in this study, where patients who met the inclusion criteria were admitted to the trial until the necessary number of participants was reached. Data obtained were demographics, quality of life (SF-36), and quality of sleep (PSQI). These data were managed and analyzed using SPSS.

Results: The study showed a significant link between quality of life and sleep with r -0,654; n 90; and p< 0.0001.

Conclusion: There is a significant inverse relationship between quality of life and sleep, where a higher SF-36 score for life quality corresponds to a lower PSQI score for sleep quality.
