This study aimed to examine the effect of bright white light on the fatigue level and sleep quality of cancer patients receiving palliative care. The study sample consisted of 52 patients who met the inclusion criteria and were assigned to the study or control group by stratified randomization. The bright white light (10,000 lux) or dim red light (<50 lux) was applied for 30 minutes every morning for 14 days to the patients in the study and control group. In the study, bright white light significantly decreased the level of fatigue and the level of fatigue-related effect on daily life activities, improved sleep quality and increased total sleep time ( < 0.05). It was found that dim red light significantly decreased the level of fatigue and increased the sleep quality, but this change was lower than the study group ( < 0.05).
本研究旨在探讨明亮白光对接受姑息治疗的癌症患者的疲劳水平和睡眠质量的影响。研究样本包括 52 名符合纳入标准的患者，他们通过分层随机化被分配到研究组或对照组。研究组和对照组的患者每天早上接受明亮白光（10,000 勒克斯）或昏暗红光（<50 勒克斯）照射 30 分钟，持续 14 天。研究发现，明亮白光显著降低了疲劳水平和疲劳对日常生活活动的影响程度，改善了睡眠质量并增加了总睡眠时间（<0.05）。昏暗红光显著降低了疲劳水平并提高了睡眠质量，但这种变化低于研究组（<0.05）。
