Objective: To assess the impact of web-based dyadic interventions on depression, distress, stress, and quality of life among persons with cancer and their informal caregivers.

Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted in PubMed, EMBASE, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, the Cochrane Library, CNKI, and Wanfang Data for articles in English or Chinese through August 2023. The methodological quality of the studies was assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias tool and the Methodological Index for Nonrandomized Studies. Data were analyzed using RevMan 5.4.

Results: The meta-analysis included 9 articles with 1,030 participants, consisting of 5 randomized controlled trials and 4 quasi-experimental trials. Significant improvements were observed in the quality of life for persons with cancer, particularly in physical (SMD = 0.32, 95% CI [0.10, 0.54], P = .004) and functional (SMD = 0.28, 95% CI [0.06, 0.50], P = .01) well-being. For informal caregivers, interventions significantly reduced depression (SMD = -0.58, 95% CI [-1.06, -0.10], P = .02), distress (SMD = -0.39, 95% CI [-0.76, -0.03], P = .03), and stress (SMD = -0.62, 95% CI [-1.04, -0.21], P = .003).

Conclusion: Web-based dyadic interventions significantly enhance the physical and functional well-being of persons with cancer and reduce depression, distress, and stress among their informal caregivers.

Implications For Nursing Practice: The study underscores the importance of dyadic interventions in offering comprehensive support. Personalized, web-based dyadic interventions show promise for tailored, holistic care in the future.

Background: Social prescribing inherently embodies a co-productive nature, particularly within the 'holistic' model facilitated by the pivotal role of Link Workers. Most attention is focused on collecting evidence about the micro-level relationship between Link Workers and their clients. However, little is known about how this co-productive relationship influences or is influenced by value co-creation at different levels, given the involvement of multiple actors in delivering the intervention.

Purpose: Breast cancer, as a stressful event, profoundly impacts the entire family, especially patients and their spouses. This study used a dyadic analysis approach to explore the dyadic effects of illness perception on the fear of cancer recurrence (FCR) and whether maladaptive cognitive-emotional regulation strategies acted as a mediator in breast cancer patient-spouse dyads.

Methods: This was a cross-sectional study, and 202 dyads of breast cancer patients and their spouses were enrolled.

Background: Alzheimer disease and related dementias (ADRDs) are increasingly common progressive conditions that have a substantial impact on individuals and their primary care partners-together described as a dyad. The stressors experienced by dyad members at around the time of ADRD diagnosis commonly produce clinically elevated emotional distress (ie, depression and anxiety symptoms), which can become chronic and negatively impact health, relationships, and the overall quality of life. Dyads commonly report unmet needs for early support to address these challenges early after diagnosis.
