Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Adults with cancer frequently report symptoms such as decline in cognitive function throughout the trajectory of illness. Patients with cognitive deficits need support and assistance from their informal caregivers and often rely on them to manage their symptoms based on their degree of deficits. Patients spend a significant amount of time with their informal caregivers and become interdependent with each other. In spite of their interdependence, it is unclear whether patients' cognitive outcomes (ie, cognitive function) are associated with their informal caregivers. Therefore, the body of literature related to the association between caregiver characteristics and cognitive function of adults with cancer needs to be fully mapped with assessment for knowledge gaps.

METHODS AND ANALYSIS

Methods for this scoping review was informed by the framework proposed by Arksey and O'Malley. Seven electronic databases will be searched: (1) PubMed (MEDLINE), (2) CINAHL, (3) Embase, (4) PsycINFO, (5) Scopus, (6) Sociological Abstracts and (7) ProQuest dissertation abstracts. In addition, the search for grey literature will include the conference abstracts available through Embase, Scopus and Sociological abstracts as well as dissertations available in ProQuest dissertations. All retrieved citations will be independently screened by two authors and eligibility will be determined based on inclusion and exclusion criteria at title and abstract level. Studies meeting inclusion criteria, will be screened at full text level by two reviewers followed by abstraction of included studies. Eligible studies will be collated, summarised and reported using the data charting form that research team developed.

ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION

This scoping review does not require ethics approval. Results of this scoping review will be disseminated via conference presentation and/or publication in a scientific journal.

摘要

简介

癌症患者在疾病发展过程中经常会出现认知功能下降等症状。有认知缺陷的患者需要其非专业照护者的支持和帮助，并且往往依赖他们根据自己的缺陷程度来管理症状。患者与非专业照护者相处时间较长，彼此之间相互依赖。尽管存在相互依赖，但尚不清楚患者的认知结果（即认知功能）是否与他们的非专业照护者有关。因此，需要对与癌症成人的非专业照护者特征与认知功能相关的文献进行全面分析，评估知识空白。

方法

本范围综述方法的依据是 Arksey 和 O'Malley 提出的框架。将在以下七个电子数据库中进行搜索：（1）PubMed（MEDLINE），（2）CINAHL，（3）Embase，（4）PsycINFO，（5）Scopus，（6）Sociological Abstracts 和（7）ProQuest 论文摘要。此外，对灰色文献的搜索将包括通过 Embase、Scopus 和 Sociological abstracts 可获得的会议摘要以及 ProQuest 论文中可获得的论文。将由两位作者独立筛选检索到的所有引用文献，并根据标题和摘要层面的纳入和排除标准确定其是否符合纳入标准。符合纳入标准的研究将由两位评审员在全文层面进行筛选，然后对纳入的研究进行摘要。将对符合条件的研究进行整理、总结，并使用研究团队开发的数据图表形式进行报告。
