Background: Improving family function and resilience among cancer caregivers is a vital clinical concern requiring thorough research. Psychosocial interventions are expected to enhance family function and strengthen resilience; however, the outcomes can differ significantly, highlighting the necessity for further investigation.
Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the comparative effectiveness of psychosocial interventions in enhancing family function and resilience among caregivers of cancer patients based on data derived from randomized controlled trials.
Herein, we used a one-pot method to fabricate a novel MOF-on-MOF adsorbent, namely MOF(Zr)-on-MOF(Ce). The adsorbent demonstrated a high maximum fluoride-ions capture capacity of 164.47 mg g.

A cross-sectional design while adhering to STROBE guidelines was used for this study. Three hundred ninety-three purposely selected nurses from three tertiary general hospitals completed an online survey.

The optimal sorption capacity was obtained with a metal/organic ligand molar ratio of 1:1. The morphological characteristics, crystalline shape, functional groups, and pore structure of the material were analyzed via SEM, XRD, FTIR, XPS, and N adsorption-desorption experiments, and the thermodynamics, kinetics, and adsorption mechanism were elucidated.

Findings from existing research suggest that good family resilience can help breast cancer families better adapt and cope with adversity and challenges. However, there are only a few intervention studies on family resilience and no intervention studies on resilience among the families of breast cancer patients.
