Multi-stakeholder perspectives on managing insomnia in cancer survivors: recommendations to reduce barriers and translate patient-centered research into practice.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Insomnia is a debilitating symptom experienced by nearly 60% of cancer survivors. Building on our prior research showing the clinical benefit of cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) and acupuncture, we organized a workshop of patient advocates and clinician stakeholders to understand the barriers and develop recommendations for the dissemination and implementation of these interventions.

Methods

Participants completed a pre-workshop survey assessing their experiences with insomnia and barriers to insomnia treatment and participated in a workshop facilitated by professionals and patient experts. Responses from the survey were tabulated and the discussions from the workshop were content-analyzed to extract relevant factors that may influence dissemination
