Home-based chemotherapy (HBC) has emerged as a standard option for treating various types of cancer, primarily to decrease the waiting time for treatment. As HBC gains more recognition, ongoing research is delving into the experiences of patients with cancer who receive chemotherapy in a home setting or chemotherapy closer to home. Understanding these experiences is vital for the use of chemotherapy delivery outside the traditional hospital environments. This review aims to synthesize and critically appraise qualitative studies that investigate the experience and perspectives of patients with cancer who received parenteral chemotherapy administration in home settings. Findings will be used to develop evidence-based policies to support home-based care models.
This review will follow JBI methods for systematic reviews of qualitative evidence. The databases for searching will include MEDLINE (PubMed), CINAHL (EBSCOhost), PsycINFO (EBSCOhost), ProQuest Health and Medical Collection, two Chinese databases, CNKI and Wanfang, and one Thai database, ThaiJO. Studies published in English, Chinese, and Thai will be considered for inclusion. Two reviewers will independently undertake study selection, data extraction, and critical appraisal of the methodological quality of studies. The synthesized findings will be assessed using the ConQual approach.
The synthesis of qualitative studies on this topic will provide insights into the nuanced and varied experiences of patients receiving chemotherapy within the comfort of their homes. The review will also provide evidence-based recommendations to policymakers and healthcare administrators, to support the implementation of HBC for patients.

家庭为基础的化疗（HBC）已成为治疗各种类型癌症的标准选择，主要是为了减少治疗的等待时间。随着 HBC 越来越受到认可，正在进行的研究深入探讨了在家庭环境中或离家较近的地方接受化疗的癌症患者的体验。了解这些体验对于在传统医院环境之外使用化疗输送至关重要。本综述旨在综合和批判性评价调查在家中接受静脉化疗的癌症患者的经验和观点的定性研究。研究结果将用于制定支持家庭护理模式的循证政策。
本综述将遵循 JBI 对定性证据的系统评价方法。搜索数据库将包括 MEDLINE（PubMed）、CINAHL（EBSCOhost）、PsycINFO（EBSCOhost）、ProQuest Health and Medical Collection、两个中文数据库、CNKI 和万方，以及一个泰国数据库 ThaiJO。将考虑纳入发表在英语、中文和泰语的研究。两位评审员将独立进行研究选择、数据提取和对研究方法质量的批判性评价。综合发现将使用 ConQual 方法进行评估。
对这一主题的定性研究的综合将深入了解在舒适的家中接受化疗的患者的微妙和多样的体验。该综述还将为政策制定者和医疗保健管理人员提供循证建议，以支持为患者实施 HBC。
