摘要

With the rising global cancer burden and aging population, informal caregivers are increasingly providing care for cancer patients and playing a critical role in the healthcare system. However, the psychological burden placed on these caregivers has become increasingly pronounced. Digital health interventions have demonstrated considerable potential in alleviating this psychological burden. This systematic review, following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, evaluated the mechanisms of action and the effectiveness of existing digital health intervention strategies and aimed at improving the mental health of cancer caregivers, providing evidence-based policy recommendations. A comprehensive literature search yielded 35 studies from 3449 retrieved articles for descriptive statistics and qualitative analysis. The results demonstrated that digital health intervention strategies, including psychoeducation and psychotherapy delivered through technological avenues such as online courses and websites, were effective in reducing depression and anxiety symptoms among cancer caregivers. This study also provided policy recommendations to promote the implementation of digital health interventions for cancer caregivers. These findings have significant implications for enhancing psychological support for cancer caregivers worldwide.
