Contribution of Sleep Disruption and Sedentary Behavior to Fatigue in Survivors of Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplant.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Fatigue is a prominent quality of life concern among recipients of hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT).

Purpose

The present study investigated whether objectively measured sleep efficiency and sedentary behavior are related to greater reports of fatigue.

Methods

Eighty-two allogeneic HCT recipients who were 1-5 years post-transplant and returning for a follow-up visit participated (age M = 56, 52% female, 56% leukemia). They wore an actigraph assessing sleep efficiency and sedentary behavior for one week and completed an electronic log assessing fatigue each evening during the same period.

Results

Twenty-six percent of patients reported clinically meaningful fatigue. On average, fatigue was mild (M = 2.5 on 0-10 scale, SD = 2.0), sleep was distu
