Abstract

Introduction

Hope is an integral and essential part of the cancer journey. Its association with satisfaction has been described in previous studies. Measures to increase cancer patients’ levels of hope may contribute to the perception of an improvement in patient-centered healthcare delivery.

Methods

Four databases (Pubmed, Scopus, Embase, and CINAHL) were queried for relevant studies. The study inclusion criteria were limited to the peer-reviewed original research articles published in English.

Results

Four hundred seventy seven articles, published between 1911 and 2020, were found. Nine studies with different cancer populations met the inclusion criteria. A positive correlation between hope levels and life, marital, and information satisfaction was observed in all studies. Analysis of five studies that reported correlation coefficients showed a moderate correlation between hope and satisfaction with life.

Conclusion

The described relationship between hope and patient satisfaction should encourage the development of new techniques to increase hope levels in cancer patients to improve their satisfaction with the quality of healthcare delivery received. Future prospective studies are needed to evaluate the effectiveness of hope interventions on satisfaction levels in cancer patients. Reliability testing and comparison of current hope and satisfaction scales would allow for determining the “gold standard” scales and standardizing the research in this area.

癌症患者生活满意度与希望水平的增加相关:一项系统综述

希望是癌症治疗过程中不可或缺的一部分。在以前的研究中已经描述了它与满意度的关系。提高癌症患者希望水平的措施可能有助于改善以患者为中心的医疗保健服务。方法检索Pubmed、Scopus、Embase、CINAHL等数据库进行相关研究。研究纳入标准仅限于同行评议的英文原创研究文章。结果共发现477篇发表于1911年至2020年间的论文。涉及不同癌症人群的9项研究符合纳入标准。在所有研究中都观察到希望水平与生活、婚姻和信息满意度呈正相关。对报告相关系数的五项研究的分析显示，希望与生活满意度之间存在适度的相关性。结论希望与患者满意度之间的关系应鼓励新技术的发展，以提高癌症患者的希望水平，提高他们对医疗服务质量的满意度。未来的前瞻性研究需要评估希望干预对癌症患者满意度的有效性。目前的希望和满意量表的可靠性测试和比较将允许确定“金标准”量表，并使这一领域的研究标准化。

期刊介绍： Advances in Integrative Medicine (AIMED) is an international peer-reviewed, evidence-based research and review journal that is multi-disciplinary within the fields of Integrative and Complementary Medicine. The journal focuses on rigorous quantitative and qualitative research including systematic reviews, clinical trials and surveys, whilst also welcoming medical hypotheses and clinically-relevant articles and case studies disclosing practical learning tools for the consulting practitioner. By promoting research and practice excellence in the field, and cross collaboration between relevant practitioner groups and associations, the journal aims to advance the practice of IM, identify areas for future research, and improve patient health outcomes. International networking is encouraged through clinical innovation, the establishment of best practice and by providing opportunities for cooperation between organisations and communities.
