Abstract

BACKGROUND

Cancer patients are particularly vulnerable to COVID-19, partially owing to their compromised immune systems and curbed or cut cancer healthcare services caused by the pandemic. As a result, cancer caregivers may have to shoulder triple crises: the COVID-19 pandemic, pronounced healthcare needs from the patient, and elevated need for care from within. While technology-based health interventions have the potential to address unique challenges cancer caregivers face amid COVID-19, limited insights are available. Thus, to bridge this gap, we aim to identify technology-based interventions designed for cancer caregivers and report the characteristics and effects of these interventions concerning cancer caregivers' distinctive challenges amid COVID-19.

METHODS

A systematic search of the literature will be conducted in PubMed, PsycINFO, CINAHL, and Scopus from the database inception to the end of March, 2021. Articles that center on technology-based interventions for cancer caregivers will be included in the review. The search strategy will be developed in consultation with an academic librarian who is experienced in systematic review studies. Titles, abstracts, and full-text articles will be screened against eligibility criteria developed . The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses procedures will be followed for the reporting process.

CONCLUSIONS

COVID-19 has upended cancer care as we know it. Findings of this study can shed light on evidence-based and practical solutions cancer caregivers can utilize to mitigate the unique challenges they face amid COVID-19. Furthermore, results of this study will also offer valuable insights for researchers who aim to develop interventions for cancer caregivers in the context of COVID-19. In addition, we also expect to be able to identify areas for improvement that need to be addressed in order for health experts to more adequately help cancer caregivers weather the storm of global health crises like COVID-19 and beyond.

摘要

背景

癌症患者特别容易感染新冠病毒，部分原因是他们的免疫系统受损，以及疫情导致癌症医疗服务受到限制或中断。因此，癌症护理人员可能不得不肩负三重危机：新冠疫情、患者明显的医疗需求以及自身护理需求的增加。虽然基于技术的健康干预措施有可能应对癌症护理人员在新冠疫情期间面临的独特挑战，但相关见解有限。因此，为了弥补这一差距，我们旨在确定为癌症护理人员设计的基于技术的干预措施，并报告这些干预措施在新冠疫情期间针对癌症护理人员独特挑战的特点和效果。

方法

将在PubMed、PsycINFO、CINAHL和Scopus数据库中从建库至2021年3月底进行系统的文献检索。以癌症护理人员的基于技术的干预措施为中心的文章将纳入本综述。检索策略将与一位在系统评价研究方面经验丰富的学术图书馆员协商制定。将根据制定的纳入标准对标题、摘要和全文文章进行筛选。报告过程将遵循系统评价和Meta分析的首选报告项目流程。

结论

新冠疫情颠覆了我们所熟知的癌症护理模式。本研究的结果可以为癌症护理人员提供基于证据的实用解决方案，以减轻他们在新冠疫情期间面临的独特挑战。此外，本研究的结果也将为旨在为新冠疫情背景下的癌症护理人员开发干预措施的研究人员提供有价值的见解。此外，我们还期望能够确定需要改进的领域，以便卫生专家能够更充分地帮助癌症护理人员度过像新冠疫情这样的全球健康危机风暴以及其他危机。
