Abstract

Purpose

This review aimed to evaluate the methodological quality of systematic reviews focusing on oncology nursing interventions for breast cancer patients.

Methods

A comprehensive search was conducted to identify systematic reviews and meta-analyses published from 2009. The methodological quality of the included reviews was evaluated using the AMSTAR-2 tool.

Results

Eighteen studies, comprising 11 meta-analyses, met the inclusion criteria. Forty-four percent of the studies solely focused on patients with breast cancer, while 56% of the reviews incorporated samples with various cancer types alongside breast cancer. AMSTAR-2 assessment revealed quality as critical low (n = 14) and low (n = 2) scores. Only 1 study was rated moderate quality, and 1 was rated high quality.

Conclusions

This review highlights the potential for significant bias in systematic reviews and meta-analyses informing breast cancer care decisions in oncology nursing. We recommend that researchers adhere to established guidelines such as PRISMA and AMSTAR-2.

乳腺癌患者的肿瘤护理干预：系统评价的关键评价。

目的：本综述旨在评价以乳腺癌患者肿瘤护理干预为重点的系统综述的方法学质量。方法：对2009年以来发表的系统综述和荟萃分析进行综合检索。使用AMSTAR-2工具评估纳入的综述的方法学质量。结果：18项研究，包括11项荟萃分析，符合纳入标准。44%的研究只关注乳腺癌患者，而56%的综述纳入了乳腺癌和各种癌症类型的样本。AMSTAR-2评估显示质量为临界低（n = 14）和低（n = 2）分数。只有1项研究被评为中等质量，1项研究被评为高质量。结论：本综述强调了在肿瘤护理中为乳腺癌护理决策提供信息的系统评价和荟萃分析中存在显著偏倚的可能性。我们建议研究人员遵守诸如PRISMA和AMSTAR-2之类的既定指南。
