Abstract:
Objective:To evaluate the effect of different psychosocial interventions on fertility concerns in cancer patients using network Meta-analysis.Methods:Randomized controlled trials or quasi-experimental studies on the effects of different psychosocial interventions on fertility concerns in cancer patients were electronically searched in China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Data, VIP, China Biology Medicine disc, PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, Web of Science and PsycINFO. The search period was from database establishment to October 31, 2024. Two researchers independently conducted literature screening and data extraction. Conventional Meta-analysis of the included literature was performed using RevMan 5.4, and network Meta-analysis was performed using Stata 18.0.Results:A total of 10 studies involving 835 cancer patients and seven psychosocial interventions were included. Network Meta-analysis showed that there was a statistically significant difference in the intervention effect of fertility counseling ( MD=18.24, 95% CI: 2.85-33.62, P<0.05) and mental awareness training ( MD=17.97, 95% CI: 3.09-32.85, P<0.05) on fertility concerns in cancer patients as compared to routine nursing. The ranked probability plot showed that fertility counseling and mental awareness training had superior results. Conclusions:Fertility counseling has a superior effect on fertility concerns in cancer patients. Mental awareness training may be effective in improving fertility concerns in cancer patients, and further research is needed to validate the effectiveness of mindfulness-based stress reduction, cognitive behavioral therapy, dyadic coping interventions, and educational interventions in improving fertility concerns in cancer patients.
