摘要

Background

Cancer patients are exposed to high levels of stress that put their mental health at risk. Resilience interventions aim to support people in coping with stress, to strengthen psychosocial resources and thus to enable patients to maintain their mental health during and after their disease.

Methods

A literature search was performed in three databases to identify systematic reviews on resilience interventions in cancer patients.

Results

Seven reviews were identified, including a total of 72 primary studies with approximately 8000 participants. The interventions examined had different target groups and content (e.g., mindfulness, self-management). They showed moderate to large favorable effects on self-reported resilience, post-traumatic growth, and quality of life.

Conclusion

Resilience interventions are effective for people living with cancer. Further research is needed to better understand the factors that make the interventions effective, to better understand their long-term effects, and to increase the overall effectiveness of the interventions.
