A systematic review of cancer caregiver interventions: Appraising the potential for implementation of evidence into practice.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

nformal caregivers provide substantial support for people living with cancer. Previous systematic reviews report on the efficacy of cancer caregiver interventions but not their potential to be implemented. The aim of this systematic review was to explore the potential for cancer caregiver interventions to be implemented into practice.

Results
