Home care-based education for cancer patients with peripherally inserted central catheters: a systematic review and meta-analysis
摘要
This study aimed to systematically review and meta-analyze the literature to identify the components of home care-based education for cancer patients with peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) and evaluate its effects compared to traditional health education.
MethodsA comprehensive search was conducted in Chinese and English databases until November 2024. The searching strategy, screening, quality assessment data extraction, and meta-analysis were performed scientifically.
ResultsA total of 19 studies were included. Three core components of home care-based education were identified: catheter care, self-care, and resource support. Meta-analysis revealed significant improvements in eight outcomes for intervention groups: improved self-management abilities (MD = 17.77, 95% CI, Z = 9.2, P < 0.00001); reduced anxiety (MD = −8.53, 95% CI, Z = 4.56, P < 0.00001) and depression (MD = −11, 95% CI, Z = 3.97, P < 0.0001); lower complication incidence (OR = 0.17, 95% CI, Z = 11.79, P < 0.00001); higher compliance rate (OR = 0.16, 95% CI, Z = 4.98, P < 0.00001); improved self-efficacy (MD = 9.45, 95% CI, Z = 2.41, P = 0.02); increased satisfaction with nursing care (OR = 6.01, 95% CI, Z = 6.19, P < 0.00001); better quality of life (MD = 9.38, 95% CI, Z = 4.39, P < 0.0001).
ConclusionsHome care-based education improves self-management, psychological well-being, treatment outcomes, and satisfaction in cancer patients with PICCs. The identified components provide a practical framework for clinical implementation, though cultural adaptability and protocol standardization require further study.
