Effect of patient education in improving quality of life, fatigue and anxiety in people diagnosed with lung cancer: systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To assess the effect of patient education on quality of life, fatigue, and anxiety in patients diagnosed with lung cancer.

Methods

An electronic search was conducted across four databases (PubMed, Web of Science, CINAHL, and Scopus) using a combination of terms including lung neoplasms, health education, educat (truncated), quality of life, fatigue, and anxiety. The Cochrane RoB 2 tool and the TIDieR checklist were used to assess risk of bias and intervention replicability, respectively. The GRADE approach was applied to evaluate the certainty of the evidence. Study selection, data extraction, and all assessments were carried out independently by two reviewers. Where appropriate, data were pooled using meta-analysis (95% confidence interval [CI]).
