While there is a clear need for psychosocial interventions that promote the well-being of carers of patients with cancer, the corresponding evidence base is disparate, complex, and difficult for end users to navigate and interpret. Carers remain undersupported with a lack of dedicated, effective, evidence-based programs. We will conduct a meta-review to synthesize this evidence and determine the state of science in this field.
This study aims to address the question, "what psychosocial interventions are available to promote the well-being of carers for people with cancer?"
A meta-review will synthesize the relevant reviews of psychosocial interventions that have been developed and evaluated with carers for people with cancer. A total of 4 electronic databases (PsycInfo, MEDLINE, CINAHL, and Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews) will be searched for reviews published between January 2013 and December 2023. A team-based approach will be taken for screening and assessment of the returned records against the eligibility criteria to determine inclusion. Included reviews will be critically appraised using the Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Checklist for Systematic Reviews and Research Syntheses. Relevant data on study characteristics, carer and patient populations, intervention details, and psychosocial outcomes will be extracted, synthesized, and the findings will be presented in a narrative format.
It is anticipated that the study will be completed by October 2024.
Ensuring that carers have access to evidence-based programs that promote their well-being as they care for loved ones is critical. This meta-review will contribute to program development and translation efforts by providing a clear picture of the intervention evidence base of carers of patients with cancer and identifying notable strengths, weaknesses, and gaps across the literature. The findings are anticipated to offer future directions to advance research in the field.

虽然需要心理社会干预来促进癌症患者照顾者的福祉,但相应的证据基础却分散、复杂,且难以让最终用户理解和解读。照顾者仍然得不到足够的支持,缺乏专门的、有效的、基于证据的项目。我们将进行一项荟萃综述,以综合这些证据并确定该领域的科学现状。
本研究旨在回答“有哪些心理社会干预措施可用于促进癌症患者照顾者的福祉?”
将对已为癌症患者照顾者制定和评估的心理社会干预措施的相关综述进行荟萃综述。总共将在 4 个电子数据库(PsycInfo、MEDLINE、CINAHL 和 Cochrane 系统评价数据库)中搜索 2013 年 1 月至 2023 年 12 月期间发表的综述。将采用团队方法对检索到的记录进行筛选和评估,以确定是否符合纳入标准。纳入的综述将使用 Joanna Briggs 研究所系统评价和研究综合的批判性评估清单进行批判性评估。将提取、综合研究特征、照顾者和患者人群、干预措施细节以及心理社会结局相关数据,并以叙述性格式呈现结果。
预计研究将于 2024 年 10 月完成。
确保照顾者能够获得促进其福祉的基于证据的项目,以便他们在照顾亲人时至关重要。这项荟萃综述将通过清楚地展示癌症患者照顾者的干预证据基础,并确定文献中的显著优势、劣势和差距,为计划的制定和转化工作做出贡献。研究结果有望为该领域的进一步研究提供方向。
