Description
Saragih's team in Semarang pooled randomized trials of online psychosocial education for adult cancer patients. All were run outside clinics, at home. Six sources yielded fourteen studies and 1,509 patients. Outcomes spanned fear of return, distress, and quality of life. Risk of bias was graded with the Cochrane RoB 2 tool.
Fear of return fell sharply after the programs, though the pooled effect was small. Distress scores and life scores pointed the right way without quite reaching the mark. Spread was high for distress, low for the rest. The authors endorse nurse-led digital support that can scale up.
