Abstract

Objective

This study aimed to perform a meta-analysis of randomized control trials to evaluate the effects of cognitive behavioral therapy on depression, anxiety, fatigue, distress, the fear of cancer recurrence, and the quality of life in gynecological cancer patients.

Methods

An extensive literature search of PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and CINAHL was performed, and a meta-analysis was conducted on ten studies that included 1027 patients. The quality of the data was evaluated using the Cochrane Risk of Bias tool. The effect size of the mean difference and standardized mean difference were computed using Revman 5.4.1.

Results

Gynecological cancer patients receiving cognitive behavioral therapy showed decreases in depression (P < 0.001), anxiety (P = 0.01), fatigue (P < 0.001), distress (P = 0.03), and the fear of cancer recurrence (P = 0.01) compared to those receiving no treatment, whereas no improvement in quality of life was seen in the cognitive behavioral therapy group (P = 0.05).

Conclusions

Cognitive behavioral therapy was shown to be a useful treatment for the symptoms experienced by women with gynecological cancer, with significant effect sizes. However, more research is required to validate the efficacy of cognitive behavioral therapy in patients with gynecological cancer, considering the limitations of this study's small sample size and statistical heterogeneity.

认知行为疗法对女性妇科癌症患者的疗效：随机对照试验的系统回顾和荟萃分析

本研究旨在对随机对照试验进行荟萃分析，以评估认知行为疗法对妇科癌症患者的抑郁、焦虑、疲劳、痛苦、癌症复发恐惧和生活质量的影响。方法对PubMed、Web of Science、Scopus和CINAHL进行了广泛的文献检索，并对纳入1027名患者的10项研究进行了荟萃分析。使用 Cochrane 偏倚风险工具对数据质量进行了评估。结果接受认知行为疗法的妇科癌症患者与未接受治疗的患者相比，抑郁（P < 0.001）、焦虑（P = 0.01）、疲劳（P < 0.001）、痛苦（P = 0.03）和对癌症复发的恐惧（P = 0.结论认知行为疗法被证明是治疗妇科癌症女性患者症状的有效方法，且效果显著。然而，考虑到本研究样本量较小和统计异质性的局限性，还需要更多的研究来验证认知行为疗法对妇科癌症患者的疗效。
