RESUMO
Purpose: The psycho-social adaptation of cancer patients is very important, which affects the treatment, rehabilitation process and prognosis of patients, and is closely related to the subjective well-being and quality of life of patients. However, the key factors affecting the psycho-social adjustment of cancer patients are not clear yet. This study aims to evaluate the psycho-social adaptation of cancer patients and its influencing factors based on a meta-analysis. Basic procedures: The Systematic review was conducted following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) checklist and guided by the society-to-cell model framework. Literature retrieval was conducted from the construction of the library to December 2023. Main findings: Fourteen pieces of literature were included in this study, with a total sample size of 2922 cases. Among the 14 literatures included, 9 were in English and 5 were in Chinese, published between 1991 and 2021. All of the 14 literatures were cross-sectional studies. According to the society-to-cells model framework, the influencing factors are divided into 5 levels: society, community, family, individual, and physiology. However, studies related to the cellular level are lacking. Principal conclusions: The psychosocial adaptation of cancer patients is affected by physiology, individual, family, community and society, among which age, education level, disease uncertainty, hope level, psychological pain, self-efficacy, social support, coping styles (facing, avoidance, submission, and emotion-oriented) are the main factors affecting the psychosocial adaptation of cancer patients. However, studies related to the cellular level are lacking. This may be due to the fact that most of the factors from the individual to the society level are intervenable, and most studies focus more on the mining of these levels of factors. However, the biological basis is crucial to the occurrence and development of diseases, and needs to be paid attention to by nursing staff, and further research on this level needs to be strengthened in the future.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Due to the diversity and high sensitivity of the treatment, there were difficulties and uncertainties in the breast cancer surgical decision-making process. We aimed to describe the patient's decision-making behaviour and shared decision-making (SDM)-related barriers and facilitators in breast cancer surgical treatment. METHODS: We searched eight databases for qualitative studies and mixed-method studies about breast cancer patients' surgical decision-making process from inception to March 2021. The quality of the studies was critically appraised by two researchers independently. We used a 'best fit framework approach' to analyze and synthesize the evidence. RESULTS: Twenty-eight qualitative studies and three mixed-method studies were included in this study. Four themes and 10 subthemes were extracted: (a) struggling with various considerations, (b) actual decision-making behaviours, (c) SDM not routinely implemented and (d) multiple facilitators and barriers to SDM. CONCLUSIONS: Patients had various considerations of breast surgery and SDM was not routinely implemented. There was a discrepancy between information exchange behaviours, value clarification, decision support utilization and SDM due to cognitive and behavioural biases. When individuals made surgical decisions, their behaviours were affected by individual-level and system-level factors. Therefore, healthcare providers and other stakeholders should constantly improve communication skills and collaboration, and emphasize the importance of decision support, so as to embed SDM into routine practice. PATIENT AND PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: This systematic review was conducted as part of a wider research entitled: Breast cancer patients' actual participation roles in surgical decision making: a mixed method research. The results of this project helped us to better analyze and generalize patients' views.

Due to the diversified and high sensitivity of breast cancer surgical treatment, various decision making styles show different functions in making trade-offs and sharing information. Shared decision making is the best practice paradigm to promote health outcomes. This study aimed to determine the overall frequency of shared decision making and explore influencing factors during the surgical decision-making process from breast cancer patients' perspectives. We searched 8 databases for studies about breast cancer patients' surgical decisional control preferences and shared decision making preference. Two researchers screened the literature, extracted the data, and evaluated the literature quality. Meta-analysis of the frequency of preferred and actual shared decision making and decision congruence was performed. Due to the limited studies of influencing factors, descriptive analysis was used. Fourteen original studies were included in this study. We found the overall pooled frequency of the preferred shared decision making of 48.1% (95%CI 33.5%, 62.6%) and the actual shared decision making of 38.1% (95%CI 33.9%, 42.2%). Moreover, the pooled frequency of the decision congruence between preferred and actual decision styles was 61.7% (95%CI 54.6%, 68.8%). The descriptive analysis findings indicated that the influencing factors of shared decision making included individual factors, surgeon-patient communication factors, and health setting factors. There was a gap between the preferred and actual decision styles in the surgical context. Therefore, health care providers should identify potential shared decision making barriers and facilitators, and advocate the clinical shared decision making model to embed shared decision making into routine practice.
