Sleep disturbances are common amongst individuals with cancer receiving chemotherapy treatment, which can exacerbate fatigue, negatively impact mood and quality of life. Emerging non-pharmacological approaches including light therapy show promise in alleviating sleep disturbances and positively impacting fatigue, mood and quality in individuals with cancer following the completion of chemotherapy. However, few studies have investigated the therapeutic utility of light therapy during chemotherapy. Therefore, the aim of this research is to investigate the therapeutic utility of green-blue light therapy, combined with sleep health guidance, on sleep disturbances, fatigue, mood and quality of life in individuals receiving chemotherapy.
