Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
To assess sleep quality, fatigue and daytime activity during the 4 to 6-day hospitalization as being more positive for patients randomized to the sleep environment intervention months as compared to those randomized to the standard care months
Within 6 -10 months
Study Arms (2)
Intervention
OTHERPatients randomized to the sleep environment intervention months will experience a relaxation period before nighttime sleep, white noise as selected by the patient, stimulus control strategies, a window covering to diminish hallway light from entering the room, and a nurse-protected 90-minute uninterrupted sleep period at night.
Standard Care
OTHERNormal Hospital Environment
Interventions
Patients randomized to the sleep environment intervention months will experience a relaxation period before nighttime sleep, white noise as selected by the patient, stimulus control strategies, a window covering to diminish hallway light from entering the room, and a nurse-protected 90-minute uninterrupted sleep period at night.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Patients between the ages of 4 and 21 years who are enrolled on SJMB03 and to be admitted for either Course 2 or Course 3 of high dose chemotherapy and stem cell rescue.
- English - speaking and able to understand English items on the study instruments as these are only available in English.
- Patients willing to give assent to participate in the study and whose parents are willing to give permission according to institutional guidelines for their child to participate.
You may not qualify if:
- Inability or unwillingness of research participant or legal guardian/representative to give written informed consent.
- Patients experiencing serious neurological effects such as posterior fossa syndrome that interfere with their ability to self-report on fatigue and mood.
- Patient is bedridden and unable to participate in an activity.
- Patients or parents who would find participating in the consent process too emotionally demanding as determined by the treatment team.
