Abstract:
Objective:To explore the mediating role of illness perception in the relationship between fear of disease progression and sleep quality in patients with ovarian cancer during chemotherapy, and to provide a theoretical basis for improving sleep quality in patients with ovarian cancer during chemotherapy.Methods:From January to August 2022, 300 patients with ovarian cancer undergoing chemotherapy in Shandong First Medical University Affiliated Provincial Hospital, Qilu Hospital of Shandong University, Shandong Cancer Hospital were included by convenient sampling. A cross-sectional questionnaire survey included the Chinese version of the Fear of Progression Questionnaire Short Form for cancer patients, the Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire, and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Bivariate factor analysis, Spearman correlation analysis, and the Bootstrap confidence interval evaluation method were used.Results:A total of 287 valid questionnaires were collected. The scores of fear disease progression, illness perception, and sleep quality were 30.00 (22.00, 36.00), 37.00 (32.00, 44.00), and 6.00 (3.00, 11.00), respectively. Sleep quality was positively correlated with fear disease progression ( r=0.250, P<0.001) and illness perception ( r=0.326, P<0.001). Illness perception played a partial mediating role in the relationship between fear of disease progression and sleep quality, accounting for 41.4% of the total effect. Conclusions:Ovarian cancer patients during chemotherapy reported poor sleep quality. In clinical practice, health care providers including nurses can take interventions aimed at reducing fear of disease and improving illness perception level to improve the sleep quality of ovarian cancer patients during chemotherapy.
