Sleep Quality

Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether the effects of biofeedback-based music programs using a smart device application can improve perioperative sleep quality in patients undergoing breast cancer surgery.

Detailed description

In a biofeedback-based music group, the patient performs an active respiratory intervention session, which induces a slow breathing pattern. If breathing has been slow enough, the automatic mode is activated to provide music based on the patient's own breathing pattern. The investigators will provide biofeedback-based music, which incorporates the patient's respiratory information, while no intervention will be performed in the control group.

Interventions

DEVICEbiofeedback-based music program

The investigators will provide biofeedback-based music, which incorporates the patient's respiratory information. In a biofeedback-based music group, the patient performs an active respiratory intervention session, which induces a slow breathing pattern. If breathing has been slow enough, the automatic mode is activated to provide music based on patient's own breathing pattern. It automatically will be terminated 30 minutes after intervention.

OTHERControl

The investigators will provide noise-canceling earplugs to minimize bias from noise in the ward.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
The Richards-Campbell Sleep Questionnaire on the day of the surgeryThe daytime after the surgery (POD1)sleep quality questionnaires that are most commonly used in the ICU setting, RCSQ 1-5 (0-100), Average RCSQ (0-100), higher scores mean a better outcome

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Indexon the day before the surgeryA self-rated questionnaire which assesses sleep quality and disturbances over a 1-month time interval. C1-7 (0-3), total (0-21), higher scores mean a worse outcome
Quality of recovery score 15 (QoR 15)on the day before the surgeryKorean version of quality of recovery-15 (0-150), higher scores mean a better outcome
Hospital Anxiety and Depression scaleon the day before the surgeryMethod to measure anxiety and depression in a general medical population of patient, total (0-42), K-HADS depression subscale(0-21), K-HADS anxiety (0-21), higher scores mean a worse outcome
The Richards-Campbell Sleep Questionnaire (baseline, usual patients' pattern)on the day before the surgerysleep quality questionnaires that are most commonly used in the ICU setting, RCSQ 1-5 (0-100), Average RCSQ (0-100), higher scores mean a better outcome
Postoperative Painafter the surgery (POD1; Postoperative 24 hours)NRS score (0-11) of pain, higher scores mean a worse outcome
The incidence of postoperative nausea and vomitingafter the surgery (POD1; Postoperative 24 hours)Postoperative nausea and vomiting
The Richards-Campbell Sleep Questionnaire on the day before the surgeryon the day of the surgery before surgerysleep quality questionnaires that are most commonly used in the ICU setting, RCSQ 1-5 (0-100), Average RCSQ (0-100), higher scores mean a better outcome
Analgesics requirementafter the surgery (POD1; Postoperative 24 hours)Analgesics other than opioid requirement
Total sleep time (hours)The daytime after the surgery (POD1)Duration of sleep
Time to fall asleep (minutes)The daytime after the surgery (POD1)The time to sleep from intervention
Sleep quality (0-100)The daytime after the surgery (POD1)VAS score for sleep quality (0-100), higher scores mean a better outcome
Sleep disturbanceThe daytime after the surgery (POD1)Awakened from sleep (yes/no)
The reasons of sleep disturbanceThe daytime after the surgery (POD1)Ask the patients who answered yes to the question of whether there was a disturbance during sleep.
Postoperative opioid consumptionafter the surgery (POD1; Postoperative 24 hours)Postoperative opioid requirement
