The primary objective of this review is to analyze and synthesize the best available evidence on the experiences and perceptions of psychological stress reported by pancreatic cancer patients at any time point from pre-diagnosis, diagnosis, treatment, post-treatment and/or follow-up care.
A cancer diagnosis is known to be life-threatening, altering and limiting, and negatively affects an individual's activities of daily living. Despite developments in treatment options for pancreatic cancer patients, it represents the highest mortality and morbidity among cancers. Stress is a subjective phenomenon that negatively impacts an individual's psychological and emotional well-being, and interferes with the ability to cope with cancer symptoms and treatments. Identifying a patient's experience of stress could facilitate educational, spiritual and social resources to address his or her emotional and psychological needs.
Qualitative studies that include individuals with pancreatic cancers, regardless of age, sex or ethnicity, will be considered for inclusion in this review.
The databases to be searched include PubMed, CINAHL, Cochrane, Web of Science, Embase, Scopus, BioMed Central and PsycINFO. The search for gray literature will include Biosis, OpenGrey, Open Access Theses and Dissertations, and WorldCat. This systematic review will consider all published and unpublished studies with no date limitations. Selected studies will be assessed for methodological quality by two independent reviewers. Coding will be assigned to synthesize any differences in the experiences and perceptions of psychological stress at four time points. Where textual pooling is not possible, conclusions will be presented in narrative form.
本综述的主要目的是分析和综合目前可获得的关于胰腺癌患者在任何时间点（从诊断前、诊断时、治疗时、治疗后和/或随访期间）报告的心理压力的经验和认知的最佳证据。
癌症诊断被认为是危及生命的，会改变和限制生活，并对个体的日常生活活动产生负面影响。尽管胰腺癌患者的治疗选择有所发展，但它仍然是癌症死亡率和发病率最高的疾病。压力是一种主观现象，会对个体的心理和情绪健康产生负面影响，并干扰其应对癌症症状和治疗的能力。识别患者的压力体验可以促进提供教育、精神和社会资源，以满足他或她的情感和心理需求。
无论年龄、性别或种族如何，只要包括患有胰腺癌的个体，都将考虑纳入本综述。
将搜索的数据库包括 PubMed、CINAHL、Cochrane、Web of Science、Embase、Scopus、BioMed Central 和 PsycINFO。灰色文献的搜索将包括 Biosis、OpenGrey、开放获取论文和学位论文以及 WorldCat。本系统综述将考虑所有已发表和未发表的研究，没有日期限制。选定的研究将由两名独立评审员评估其方法学质量。将对四个时间点的心理压力的经验和认知进行编码，以综合任何差异。如果无法进行文本汇总，则将以叙述形式呈现结论。
