Abstract

Background Psychosocial care interventions are part and parcel of cancer care and are known for their significant contribution to the improvement of the quality of life (QoL) for cancer patients and their families. Assessment of the QoL of patients with cancer and their families has become critical in cancer care nowadays since it guides health care providers in making informed decisions during the care process. The aim of this meta-analysis is to synthesise the online literature of primary studies from LMICs in order to understand the effectiveness of psychosocial care interventions towards the improvement of the QoL of adult patients with cancer. Methods This study will be done in tandem with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) standards. Primary studies that would have investigated the effectiveness of psychosocial care interventions on quality of life of adult cancer patients will be identified through searches in the various electronic databases that are known to produce optimal and efficient searches for systematic reviews and meta-analyses include: Ovid MEDLINE(R), PubMed, EMBASE, APA PsychINFO, Web of Science, PubMed, and Google Scholar. Studies published between 1st January 2002 and 31st December 2023 in any LMIC, will be searched. After developing the meta-analysis question, we have developed a search string from the PICOST (population, intervention, comparison, outcome, study design, setting and Time-frame) model with a limitation on study design. Discussion This systematic review and meta-analysis will gather evidence from primary studies on the effectiveness of psychosocial care interventions in improving the QoL for adult patients with cancer in LMICs. Protocol registration: This protocol was registered on 5th June 2023 and its registration number is CRD42023421561.

社会心理护理干预对改善中低收入国家（LMICs）成年癌症患者生活质量的效果：系统回顾与元分析协议

背景社会心理护理干预是癌症护理的重要组成部分，因其对改善癌症患者及其家属的生活质量（QoL）有重大贡献而闻名。对癌症患者及其家属的生活质量进行评估已成为当今癌症护理的关键，因为它能指导医疗服务提供者在护理过程中做出明智的决定。本荟萃分析旨在综合来自低收入和中等收入国家的主要研究的在线文献，以了解社会心理护理干预对改善成年癌症患者 QoL 的有效性。方法本研究将按照《系统综述和元分析首选报告项目》（PRISMA）标准进行。我们将通过在各种电子数据库中进行检索来确定那些能调查社会心理护理干预对成年癌症患者生活质量的有效性的主要研究，这些数据库已知能为系统综述和荟萃分析提供最佳和高效的检索，其中包括：Ovid MEDLINE()、Ovid MEDLINE()、Ovid MEDLINE()和Ovid MEDLINE()：Ovid MEDLINE(R)、PubMed、EMBASE、APA PsychINFO、Web of Science、PubMed 和 Google Scholar。将检索 2002 年 1 月 1 日至 2023 年 12 月 31 日期间在任何低收入国家和地区发表的研究。在提出荟萃分析的问题后，我们根据 PICOST（人群、干预、比较、结果、研究设计、环境和时限）模型制定了搜索字符串，并对研究设计进行了限制。讨论本系统综述和荟萃分析将从初级研究中收集有关社会心理护理干预对改善低收入和中等收入国家成年癌症患者生活质量的有效性的证据。协议注册：本方案于2023年6月5日注册，注册号为CRD42023421561。
