NCT00666614

Brief Summary

The purpose of this pilot study is to determine if patients randomized to a hospital sleep environment intervention would have improved sleep quality and reduced fatigue as compared to the patients not receiving the intervention (standard care).

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

OTHER

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.

Other: Sleep Environment Intervention

Standard Care

  • 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.
