Using Web-Based Interventions to Support Caregivers of Patients With Cancer: A Systematic Review

Kaltenbaugh, Donna, Klem, Mary Lou, Hu, Lu, Turi, Eleanor, Haines, Alice, Hagerty Lingler, Jennifer·2015·Oncology Nursing Forum

Abstract

PURPOSE/OBJECTIVES: To explore the literature to examine the physical, social, psychological, financial, usability, and feasibility outcomes of Web-based interventions on caregivers of people with cancer and to identify potential trends in this body of evidence. DATA SOURCES: PubMed, CINAHL®, PsycINFO®, and Inspec. DATA SYNTHESIS: Six articles met inclusion criteria. Across studies, most caregivers were middle-aged female spouses with some college attendance who felt "somewhat comfortable" using the Internet. Caregiver interventions used single- and multicomponent services and reduced negative mood. CONCLUSIONS: Web-based caregiver interventions can be beneficial in offering information and support and may positively influence the social and psychological outcomes in this population. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING: Many studies described caregiver Internet usage and interventional perceptions and needs, but few have examined the impact of web-based interventions on caregivers. More research is needed to produce high-quality evidence in this population.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
