Efficacy in urinary symptom burden, psychological distress, and self鈥慹fficacy of education鈥慹nhanced interventions in prostate cancer patients: a systematic review and meta鈥慳nalyses
Background Worldwide, prostate cancer is both the second-most diagnosed cancer and most common solid tumor in men.
Prostate cancer patients present with a symptom burden that is compounded by the impact of medical oncology treatment,
affecting different domains of their perceived health status. Education active techniques are a key role in chronic disease to
increase participation in their recovery.
Purpose The purpose of the current review was to examine the efficacy of education-enhanced in urinary symptom burden,
psychological distress, and self-efficacy in patients diagnosed with prostate cancer.
Methods A wide search of the literature was conducted for articles from their inception to June 2022. Only randomized
controlled trials were included. Data extraction and methodologic quality assessment of the studies were carried out by two
reviewers. We previously registered the protocol of this systematic review on PROSPERO (CRD42022331954).
Results A total of six studies were included in the study. After education-enhanced intervention showed significant improvements
in any of perceived urinary symptom burden, one in psychological distress, and one in self-efficacy in the experimental
group. The meta-analysis showed that education-enhanced interventions have a significant effect on depression.
Conclusion Education-enhanced could have positive effects on urinary symptom burden, psychological distress, and selfefficacy
in prostate cancer survivors. Our review was unable to demonstrate the best timing to apply education-enhanced
strategies.Universidad de Granada/
