Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers among men worldwide. Management options include active surveillance, surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy, while self-management and behavioral interventions have shown promise in improving health-promoting behaviors and addressing barriers to care. Mobile health interventions, particularly instant messaging platforms, offer a growing opportunity for effective therapeutic support, but evidence on their role in self-management remains limited. The objective was to investigate the efficacy of self-management interventions based on instant messaging on quality of life and self-efficacy in patients diagnosed with prostate cancer through a systematic review and meta-analysis. : A search was conducted of three databases from their inception to November 2024. Randomized controlled trials were included. Two reviewers performed independent data extraction and methodologic quality assessment of the studies. A total of seven studies were included in the review. Instant messaging interventions were recognized by a previously published taxonomy of collaborative technologies. The meta-analysis showed that self-management interventions based on instant messaging have an effect on quality of life and self-efficacy. This systematic review highlights the potential benefits of self-management interventions incorporating instant messaging for improving quality of life and self-efficacy in prostate cancer patients.
前列腺癌是全球男性中最常见的癌症之一。治疗方案包括主动监测、手术、放疗和化疗，而自我管理和行为干预在促进健康行为及消除护理障碍方面已显示出前景。移动健康干预措施，尤其是即时通讯平台，为提供有效的治疗支持提供了越来越多的机会，但关于它们在自我管理中的作用的证据仍然有限。目的是通过系统评价和荟萃分析，研究基于即时通讯的自我管理干预措施对前列腺癌患者生活质量和自我效能的疗效。从三个数据库建立之初到2024年11月进行了检索。纳入随机对照试验。两名评审员对研究进行了独立的数据提取和方法学质量评估。该评价共纳入七项研究。即时通讯干预措施已被先前发表的协作技术分类法所认可。荟萃分析表明，基于即时通讯的自我管理干预措施对生活质量和自我效能有影响。这项系统评价强调了结合即时通讯的自我管理干预措施在改善前列腺癌患者生活质量和自我效能方面的潜在益处。
