Abstract:
Objective:To review the scope of research on the application of managing cancer and living meaningfully (CALM) in cancer patient populations, and provide reference for follow-up research and clinical promotion and application.Methods:Using the research method of scope review, two evidence-based trained researchers independently conducted a blind literature search. A total of 12 databases were searched, including CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, China Biomedical Literature Database, Cochrane Library, PubMed, Web of Science, CTNAHL, Embase, Scopus, Medline and EBSCO. The search time limit was from database establishment to September 26, 2022. Collected relevant literature on the application of CALM therapy to cancer patients, extracted data included in the literature, summarize and report research results.Results:A total of 2 089 articles were retrieved, and 13 were eventually included through the inclusion criteria, including 8 randomized controlled studies, 2 quasi experimental studies and 3 qualitative studies. The results showed that CALM therapy included 4 themes, 3 to 8 separate psychotherapy sessions, each lasting for 3 to 6 months for 30 to 60 minutes. It was a short and flexible evidence-based personalized psychotherapy method that was easily accepted by patients, could alleviate the negative emotions of patients with advanced cancer, and promote their mental health. There was no literature reports on the occurrence of adverse events related to CALM therapy.Conclusions:CALM therapy has a positive impact on cancer patients, with safety and feasibility. In the future, it is necessary to construct a specific, standard, and localized CALM therapy program, conduct large sample, high-quality research to verify the application effect of CALM therapy in cancer patients, and provide evidence-based basis for formulating the best CALM therapy program for cancer patients.
