Title: Recent advances in psycho-social interventions for women with cancer

Abstract

Women with cancer go through complex emotional and psychological challenges across each phase of cancer: diagnosis, treatment and after treatment. In our study, we aim to identify and understand the different psychosocial interventions used recently in cancer care for women. Therefore, we conducted a review study using PubMed, MEDLINE, CINAHL, and Embase from 2016-2023. We included articles using Randomized Controlled Trials. The results of this study helped us to identify various psycho-social interventions helping and supporting patients to navigate through cancer related symptoms, emotional distress, side effects of the treatment in women receiving cancer care. This study has implications for healthcare professionals working in the field of oncology as it helps them to understand the need to address the psychological issues to improve treatment adherence and quality of life for women diagnosed with cancer.
