| description | Abstract Aim This meta‐analysis systematically reviewed and identified the effects of WeChat‐based continuous care (WCC) interventions on various outcomes in cancer patients. Design Systematic review and meta‐analysis. Methods In this study, outcome measures included somatic function, anxiety, depression, social function, and cognitive function. The standardized mean differences and 95% CIs of pooled effect sizes were calculated using fixed‐ and random‐effects models. NFail‐safe and Begg's tests were performed to evaluate publication bias, and sensitivity analysis was performed to evaluate the robustness of the meta‐analysis results. Results The meta‐analysis included 18 RCTs of moderate quality. WCC interventions significantly improved somatic function, depression, anxiety, social function, and cognitive function in cancer patients. There was no significant publication bias, and the sensitivity analysis indicated robust results. Patient or Public Contribution WCC interventions improved depression, anxiety, social function, and cognitive function in cancer patients. |
