The effectiveness of mobile health interventions on bowel symptoms, self-care ability, and quality of life in colorectal cancer patients after anus-preserving operation: A systematic review and meta-analysis
To systematically review the characteristics of mHealth interventions for CRC patients after sphincter-preserving surgery and conduct a meta-analysis on their effects on bowel symptoms, self-care ability, and quality of life.
Key Findings:
Colorectal cancer is a major global health issue with significant long-term bowel dysfunction post-surgery.
mHealth interventions have shown potential benefits in improving quality of life and self-efficacy among CRC survivors.
Existing evidence on the effectiveness of mHealth is inconsistent, with variations in intervention characteristics contributing to differing outcomes.
Interpretation:
Limitations:
Current systematic reviews may lack focus on CRC-specific insights related to mHealth interventions.
Variability in intervention characteristics may affect the consistency of findings.
