Changes in Depression and Sleep Quality and Associated Factors in Women Receiving Chemotherapy for Ovarian Cancer: An Observational Study
Conclusions
Among participants, more depressive symptoms and poorer sleep quality were associated with higher levels of symptom distress or lower self-efficacy.
Implications for Practice
Healthcare providers should continuously assess depression and sleep quality in women with ovarian cancer. These symptoms may be improved by strengthening self-efficacy and relieving symptom distress.
