Overview

AI-generated summary, not a substitute for reading the source.

This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluates the effectiveness of nonpharmacologic interventions, such as psychoeducation and counseling, in reducing distress, anxiety, and depression among adult cancer patients and their family caregivers. The study analyzes data from 68 randomized controlled trials involving nearly 12,000 participants to assess outcomes across different timeframes and intervention types. It reports that these interventions significantly reduced patient distress and both patient and caregiver anxiety and depression in the short term, with joint delivery formats showing greater efficacy than separate ones.
