Effectiveness of non-pharmacological interventions in managing symptom clusters among lung cancer patients: a systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Non-pharmacological interventions, as complements to pharmacological treatments, are widely employed for managing symptom clusters in patients with lung cancer. Although numerous systematic reviews and meta-analyses have explored the effects of these interventions, most studies have centred on the broader cancer population and specific symptom clusters. This review aims to consolidate existing non-pharmacological interventions and assess their effectiveness in managing symptom clusters among lung cancer patients.

Methods

A comprehensive literature search, encompassing eight databases from inception to October 1, 2024, was conducted. Two independent reviewers carried out the study selection, quality assessment, and data extraction. Methodological quality was evalua
