There are a total of 8 articles have been analyzed where several self-care interventions are used to treat sleep disorders in cancer patients, including mindfulness, exercise, yoga, dance, and personal psychotherapy. most of them showed results in a decrease in sleep disturbances in cancer patients, but there was one article that did not show significant results related to sleep disturbances. All the articles found were forms of intervention from self-care. There are three articles related to insomnia, one related to sleep quality, and four others related to sleep disturbance.
