Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This study focuses on whether or not physical activity and sleep quality correlate with the health of prostate and breast cancer patients. The activity data will be acquired using wearable actigraphy devices, which the subjects will wear for the duration of seven days. The sleep quality will be measured using a combination of actigraphy and the mandarin version of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and the Quality of Life Questionnaire (QLQ). By using this combination, the investigators will not only measure the objective physical activity while the patient is asleep, but also the subjective sleep quality. The questionnaire will also function as control data for the accuracy of the actigraphy device. This study will recruit approximately 30 breast or prostate cancer patients. The participants will wear a wearable actigraphy device for 7 consecutive days, which will provide accurate and objective movement and sleep data. This data is linked to a unique Identification number (ID), which will be noted in the participant's case report. This case report also contains the participant's information and answers to the questionnaires.
