Brief summary

The goal of this research study is to understand the acceptability and feasibility of the Sleep ALL Night intervention among children with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) in hopes of improving the discussion of sleep disorders with clinical providers. The name of the intervention used in this research study is: Sleep ALL Night, which is a sleep intervention program comprised of an action plan tool and psychoeducational website.

Detailed description

This research study is to conduct a single-arm pilot study to determine the acceptability and feasibility of Sleep ALL Night for children with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). Participation in this research study is expected to last 1 month. It is expected about 30 children will take part in this research study. The National Cancer Institute (NCI) is providing funding for this research study through a grant.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Enrollment Rate of ParticipantsAt screening, when eligible participants are approached by research staff. Recruitment occurred over a 5-month period.The primary study outcome of acceptability is defined as the proportion of eligible participants who are approached by research staff who agree to participate in the study, with the cutoff set at ≥30% of eligible participants who are approached agreeing to participate.
Acceptability of Intervention Measure Scale ScoreAt Week 4The primary study outcome of acceptability is defined as participants reporting an average score of ≥4 (Agree) on the Acceptability of Intervention Measure scale, a four-item questionnaire assessing the acceptability of an intervention. The scale uses a 5-point scale with options ranging from Completely Agree (5) to Completely Disagree (1). The average score of all four items was used as the primary outcome. A higher score indicates greater belief that the intervention was acceptable for the participant.
Intervention Assessment Completion RateUp to 1 month after the conclusion of the study period, up to 8 weeks.The primary study outcome of feasibility is defined as ≥80% of enrolled participants complete the Post-Intervention Assessment.

Acceptability of Intervention Measure Scale Score

The primary study outcome of acceptability is defined as participants reporting an average score of ≥4 (Agree) on the Acceptability of Intervention Measure scale, a four-item questionnaire assessing the acceptability of an intervention. The scale uses a 5-point scale with options ranging from Completely Agree (5) to Completely Disagree (1). The average score of all four items was used as the primary outcome. A higher score indicates greater belief that the intervention was acceptable for the participant.

Enrollment Rate of Participants

The primary study outcome of acceptability is defined as the proportion of eligible participants who are approached by research staff who agree to participate in the study, with the cutoff set at ≥30% of eligible participants who are approached agreeing to participate.

Time frame: At screening, when eligible participants are approached by research staff. Recruitment occurred over a 5-month period.

Population: The number of participants analyzed (27) is greater than the number enrolled on the study (25) because not all participants were either eligible or interested in study enrollment.
