Abstract

The fear of cancer recurrence is an important topic in the healthcare field. In general, approximately 40% of survivors experience high levels of fear of recurrence. This study aims to fill this gap by synthesizing the findings of systematic reviews studies investigating ecosystems, correlates or predictors, and barriers and facilitators of fear of cancer recurrence among cancer survivors. An umbrella meta-synthesis was conducted using the following databases: MEDLINE, PsycINFO, PsycARTICLES, CINAHL, Business source premier, and SOCindex, ending in April 2024 with PRISMA methods. A total of 24 systematic reviews, representing 729 articles, were included in the study. In total, six ecosystems were identified, including family, work, friends, the healthcare system, caregivers, and religion. As part of this umbrella review, 55 specific ecosystemic factors were identified that may contribute to fear of cancer recurrence. Furthermore, the umbrella review identified 12 facilitators and 12 barriers related to fear of cancer recurrence. This umbrella meta-synthesis contributed significantly to our review’s strength in synthesizing the main ecosystem and its influence on fears of cancer recurrence. Understanding the interdependence of ecosystems should enable future research on intervention effectiveness or the development of interventions that could reduce the fear of cancer recurrence.

与癌症复发恐惧相关的生态系统障碍和促进因素：综述

对癌症复发的恐惧是医疗保健领域的一个重要话题。一般来说，约有 40% 的幸存者对癌症复发有高度恐惧。本研究旨在通过综合调查癌症幸存者对癌症复发恐惧的生态系统、相关因素或预测因素以及障碍和促进因素的系统综述研究结果来填补这一空白。我们使用以下数据库进行了总括荟萃：MEDLINE、PsycINFO、PsycARTICLES、CINAHL、Business source premier 和 SOCindex。本研究共收录了 24 篇系统综述，代表 729 篇文章。总共确定了六个生态系统，包括家庭、工作、朋友、医疗保健系统、护理人员和宗教。作为总综述的一部分，确定了 55 个可能导致癌症复发恐惧的具体生态系统因素。此外，总体综述还确定了与癌症复发恐惧相关的 12 个促进因素和 12 个障碍因素。这种总括性的元综述极大地增强了我们综述主要生态系统及其对癌症复发恐惧影响的实力。了解生态系统之间的相互依存关系有助于今后对干预效果进行研究或开发可降低癌症复发恐惧的干预措施。

期刊介绍： International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health (IJERPH) (ISSN 1660-4601) is a peer-reviewed scientific journal that publishes original articles, critical reviews, research notes, and short communications in the interdisciplinary area of environmental health sciences and public health. It links several scientific disciplines including biology, biochemistry, biotechnology, cellular and molecular biology, chemistry, computer science, ecology, engineering, epidemiology, genetics, immunology, microbiology, oncology, pathology, pharmacology, and toxicology, in an integrated fashion, to address critical issues related to environmental quality and public health. Therefore, IJERPH focuses on the publication of scientific and technical information on the impacts of natural phenomena and anthropogenic factors on the quality of our environment, the interrelationships between environmental health and the quality of life, as well as the socio-cultural, political, economic, and legal considerations related to environmental stewardship and public health. The 2018 IJERPH Outstanding Reviewer Award has been launched! This award acknowledge those who have generously dedicated their time to review manuscripts submitted to IJERPH.
