Platelet-to-lymphocyte, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte and lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratios are related to cancer-related fatigue and quality of life in patients with cancer: a cross-sectional study.

Objectives: To explore the association of the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR) with cancer-related fatigue (CRF) and quality of life (QOL) in cancer patients.

Design: A cross-sectional study.

Settings: A grade A tertiary hospital in Wuhan, China.

Meta-Analysis of Effects of Early Palliative Care on Health-Related Outcomes Among Advanced Cancer Patients.

Background: Early palliative care (PC) has received more attention for improving health-related outcomes for advanced cancer patients in recent years, but the results of previous studies are inconsistent.

Objectives: This study aimed to use meta-analysis and trial sequence analysis to evaluate the effect of early PC on health-related outcomes of advanced cancer patients.

Methods: All English publications were searched in PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and the Cochrane Library from inception to March 2023, with a restriction that the study type was a randomized controlled trial.

Factors associated with sleep quality among nurse managers during regular prevention and control of the COVID-19 in China: a cross-sectional study.

Background: Nurse managers play a pivotal role in quality patient care and staff satisfaction and retention. An overwhelming amount of work tasks and responsibilities might result in their sleep problems which are expected to aggravate in the context of the COVID-19, thereby affecting their overall health and work quality. However, little attention has been paid to sleep quality among nurse managers.

Effectiveness of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for people with advanced cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Aims: To systematically review existing evidence and assess the effectiveness of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for people with advanced cancer.

Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Data Sources: Nine databases, including PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Embase, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, VIP Database and Wanfang, were searched.

Living experiences of people with advance cancer with low socioeconomic status: A systematic review of qualitative evidence.

Background: The number of patients with advanced cancer is rapidly increasing, and the subgroup of this population with low socioeconomic status has suffered more disease burden than others. However, there is no recent qualitative synthesis of primary research studies into advanced cancer patients with low socioeconomic status.

Objective: To synthesise qualitative research findings into advanced cancer patients' experiences with low socioeconomic status, and then to help provide targeted and effective strategies to improve their quality of life.

Effects of progressive muscle relaxation on health-related outcomes in cancer patients: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Background And Purpose: Progressive muscle relaxation training (PMRT) has been widely applied to improve the physical and mental health of patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of PMRT on the symptoms and quality of life (QOL) of cancer patients.

Methods: Nine databases (Web of Science, CENTRAL, PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, OpenGrey, CNKI, Wanfang, and VIP database) were searched to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that assessed the effects of PMRT on health-related outcomes for cancer patients.

Effects of the Heart to Heart Card Game for Patients with Advanced Cancer Receiving Home-Based Palliative Care: A Clinical Randomized Controlled Trial.

The Heart to Heart Card Game improves psychological health outcomes in hospitalized patients with advanced cancer, but effectiveness studies for patients at home are rare. This randomized controlled study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of the Heart to Heart Card Game on patients with advanced cancer receiving home-based palliative care. Sixty-six participants were randomly assigned to the intervention group (n = 34) and control group (n = 32).

Prediction of Survival Time in Advanced Lung Cancer: A Retrospective Study in Home-Based Palliative Care Unit.

There is a large group of patients suffering from lung cancer and receiving home hospice care in China. However, little is known about the prediction of their survival time. The purpose of this study was to determine whether quality of life independently predicts survival among advanced lung cancer survivors who are receiving home-based palliative care.
