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 a priori. 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

癌症患者尤其容易感染 COVID-19，部分原因是他们的免疫系统受损，以及大流行导致癌症保健服务受到限制或削减。因此，癌症护理人员可能不得不承担三重危机：COVID-19 大流行、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解决癌症护理人员在 COVID-19 期间面临的独特挑战，但可用的见解有限。因此，为了弥补这一差距，我们旨在确定专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针对 COVID-19 期间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 中从数据库创建开始到 2021 年 3 月底进行系统文献检索。将纳入以癌症护理人员为中心的基于技术的干预措施的文章进行综述。将与在系统评价研究方面经验丰富的学术图书馆员合作制定搜索策略。将根据事先制定的纳入标准筛选标题、摘要和全文文章。将遵循系统评价和荟萃分析报告的首选报告项目程序进行报告过程。

结论

COVID-19 颠覆了我们所知道的癌症护理。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 COVID-19 期间面临的独特挑战。此外，本研究的结果还将为旨在为 COVID-19 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应对 COVID-19 等全球卫生危机的风暴。系统评价注册：PROSPERO CRD42020196301。
