The effects of a psychoeducational intervention on caregivers of colorectal cancer patients: A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Purpose: To investigate the impacts of psychoeducational interventions in adjusting the physical and psychological statuses of caregivers of CRC patients.

Methods: Nine electronic databases, including Medline, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Library, CINAHL Complete, CNKI, Wan Fang Database, VIP Database, and CBM, were searched to identify eligible randomized controlled trials from January 2000 to July 2023. From 1498 articles, 9 articles that met the inclusion criteria were identified and systematically analyzed.

Financial toxicity and its influencing factors in patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma: A cross-sectional study.

Purpose: Financial toxicity has emerged as a prevalent psychosocial problem in cancer patients, but data on non-Hodgkin lymphoma patients receiving chemotherapy remain limited. The present study aims to explore financial toxicity and its influencing factors among non-Hodgkin lymphoma patients.

Methods: A total of 236 non-Hodgkin lymphoma patients were enrolled from March to June 2023 in the oncology department of a tertiary grade-A hospital in China.

Supportive care needs and associated factors among caregivers of patients with colorectal cancer: a cross-sectional study.

To assess the level of supportive care needs of caregivers of colorectal cancer patients and explore the related key influencing factors. Totaling 283 caregivers of patients with colorectal cancer were investigated in this study. Firstly, caregivers were invited to complete a set of questionnaires, including the general information questionnaire, the Supportive Care Needs Survey-Partners and the Caregivers of cancer patients, the Caregiver Preparedness Scale, the Benefit Finding Scale, and the Comprehensive Score for Financial Toxicity.

Financial toxicity of informal caregivers of colorectal cancer patients: A cross-sectional study.

Purpose: To assess the level of financial toxicity of informal caregivers of colorectal cancer patients and explore the related key influencing factors.

Method: A descriptive survey design was used in this study. Data were collected from 236 informal caregivers of colorectal cancer patients between March 2023 and July 2023 from a major hospital in central China (Henan province).

Post-surgery financial toxicity and its influencing factors in colorectal cancer care: A cross-sectional study.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the influence factors of financial toxicity experienced by colorectal cancer patients after surgery. The results will provide deep insights for developing effective intervention strategies to address this common issue of colorectal cancer care.

Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we recruited 213 postoperative patients with colorectal cancer from February 2023 to July 2023 in two major public hospitals.

Caregiver burden, mutuality, and family resilience in colorectal cancer caring: A mediating model analysis.

Purpose: This study investigates the interaction between caregiver burden, mutuality, and family resilience in colorectal cancer management, and determines whether mutuality affects the effect of caregiver burden on family resilience.

Method: In this cross-sectional study, 295 family caregivers of colorectal cancer patients from two major public hospitals (Henan Province, China) were analyzed. Caregiver burden, mutuality, and family resilience were assessed through Chinese versions of the Zarit Burden Interview (ZBI-C), the mutuality Scale (MS-C), and the Family Resilience Questionnaire (FaREQ-C).

Family resilience in cancer treatment and key influencing factors: A systematic review.

Objective: To identify the status quo and key influencing factors of family resilience in cancer treatment.

Methods: Eight electronic databases (PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, CINAHL, Web of Science, CNKI, Wan Fang Database, VIP Database) were searched from 2000 to 10 May 2023. Inclusion criteria were the following: (a) study subjects were cancer patients or their family caregivers, (b) family resilience was measured as a variable, (c) reported factors associated with family resilience, (d) employed either quantitative or mixed methods design, (e) written in English or Chinese, (f) published in peer-reviewed journals.

Improving compliance with swallowing exercise to decrease radiotherapy-related dysphagia in patients with head and neck cancer.

Objective: Dysphagia, one of the most common complications in head and neck cancer (HNC) treated with radiotherapy, can severely affect patients' quality of life. Currently, because no "gold standard" treatment exists, swallowing exercise remains the main rehabilitation strategy for dysphagia. However, patients' compliance with long-term swallowing exercise is only 40%, thus, greatly compromising outcomes.
