Outline of Final Research Achievements	This study assessed simple progressive muscle relaxation-associated improvement in sleep quality among patients with cancer. The study employed a crossover design. Patients with cancer who were hospitalized for treatment underwent one day of intervention with PMR and one control day. The median total PSQI score was 8. Scores for OSA sleepiness on rising and sleep initiation/maintenance differed significantly between the PSR day and the control day. The results suggest that simple progressive muscle relaxation may improve sleep quality in terms of sleep initiation and sleep maintenance in cancer patients.
