Background: Insomnia is highly prevalent in breast cancer (BRC) patients, but non-pharmacological treatment is not widely available. The aim of this preliminary study was to investigate whether guided cognitive behavioral therapy via the Internet (I-CBT) is a feasible and effective solution for this undertreated condition in BRC patients, and to investigate who benefits most.Methods: An existing evidence based I-CBT sleep intervention (I-Sleep) was adapted for BRC patients. An open mixed methods design was used including qualitative interviews and pre- and post-test questionnaires measuring sleep, fatigue, daily functioning, and psychological distress.Results: 100 of the 171 participants (59%) completed the intervention fully and participants highly valued the intervention (7.5 out of 10). Large to small pre-post effect sizes were found on insomnia severity (d = 1.33) fatigue (d = 0.24), and daytime functioning (d = 0.30). Younger patients and patients with more severe insomnia at baseline benefited most from the intervention.Conclusion: The I-CBT intervention I-Sleep is feasible, well-accepted, and effective for BRC patients who suffer from insomnia, especially for younger patients and those with more severe insomnia.
