Exploring the Effects of Shangshou Daoyin Method on Improving Sleep Quality, Quality of Life, and TCM Constitution in Breast Cancer Patients With Insomnia
Sponsor: China Medical University Hospital
Summary
Breast cancer patients often experience insomnia and physical imbalances during and after treatment, indirectly affecting their quality of life. Therefore, the sleep quality, quality of life, and TCM constitution of breast cancer patients need to be taken seriously. Oral sleep aids are prone to causing additional side effects; therefore, in addition to medication, non-pharmacological therapies can be used to alleviate the insomnia caused by breast cancer patients, thereby improving their quality of life. Because guided exercises are simple to learn, gentle, safe, and can be performed without time constraints, clinicians can apply them to the care of breast cancer patients. It is hoped that the results of this study can provide a reference for other related research.

Interventions
Shangshou Daoyin Method
During the trial, the intervention involved performing Shangshou Daoyin Method exercises at least three times a week,while the control group received only routine care for 12 weeks. During the intervention, daily reminders were sent via Line (to wear an activity tracker 30 minutes before bedtime to monitor sleep time and efficiency, and to review the sleep log every morning), and weekly reminders were sent to submit sleep time, efficiency, and seven-day sleep log results.
Routine Nursing Care
Researchers provided individualized routine care and administered activity recorders, along with paper logbooks. Participants were instructed on how to fill out the logbook and use the activity recorder. After joining the official Line group, participants were instructed on how to use Line. In addition to daily reminders and support via Line, participants were asked to wear the activity recorder 30 minutes before bedtime and to regularly submit data via Line.
