Abstract

Background: People living with cancer benefit greatly from informal caregivers. No previous meta-analysis was done to check the effect of psychological intervention on cancer caregiver's quality of life. Objectives: The goal of this meta-analysis was to check the effect of psychosocial interventions on Cancer's Caregiver quality of life and check the impact of various psychological intervention programs. Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted from January 2006 to April 2021 using PubMed, PubMed Central, Clinical Key, CINAHL Database, EBSCO, Google Scholar and Cochrane database. Results: The effect of psychological intervention programs on caregiver's quality of life was evaluated using a mean difference between experimental and control groups. A random-effects model was used to measure the mean difference (MD) for calculating the cancer caregiver's quality of life. The final report comprised eight trials with a total of 1142 participants. The caregiver intervention programme was found to improve cancer caregivers' quality of life, but not statistically significantly (mean difference=0.10; p<0.00001). Conclusion: According to this meta-analysis, The psychological intervention program positively affected cancer caregiver's quality of life. Further randomised controlled trials are required to prove that psychological interventional programs are successful strategies for improving cancer caregiver's quality of life.

心理社会干预对癌症照护者生活质量的影响:meta分析

背景:癌症患者从非正式护理人员中获益良多。以前没有进行meta分析来检查心理干预对癌症护理者生活质量的影响。目的:本荟萃分析的目的是检查心理社会干预对癌症护理者生活质量的影响，并检查各种心理干预方案的影响。方法:综合检索2006年1月至2021年4月PubMed、PubMed Central、Clinical Key、CINAHL数据库、EBSCO、Google Scholar和Cochrane数据库的文献。结果:心理干预方案对照顾者生活质量的影响采用实验组和对照组的平均差异进行评估。随机效应模型用于测量平均差值(MD)来计算癌症护理者的生活质量。最终报告包括8项试验，共有1142名参与者。护理人员干预方案可改善癌症护理人员的生活质量，但无统计学意义(平均差异=0.10;术中,0.00001)。结论:根据本荟萃分析，心理干预计划对癌症护理者的生活质量有积极影响。需要进一步的随机对照试验来证明心理干预方案是改善癌症护理者生活质量的成功策略。
