Abstract
Objective: To identify and compare the effectiveness of nonpharmacologic interventions for managing sleep disturbances in cancer patients across the continuum of care. Methods: This is a systematic review protocol conducted according to Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) guidelines. Two independent review authors performed study selection, critical appraisal, and data extraction, with disagreements resolved by consensus or third reviewer decision. The Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluations will be used to assess the certainty of evidence, and meta-analysis calculations will be performed using the JBI SUMARI. Dichotomous outcomes will be analyzed by odds ratio or risk ratio, continuous outcomes by mean difference with corresponding 95% confidence intervals, statistical significance (p < 0.05), and heterogeneity by Cochran Q-test and I2. Where statistical pooling is not feasible, a narrative synthesis will be presented.
