ABSTRACT

A scoping review of information and communication technology (ICT)-based caregiver support interventions for children with cancer. According to the methodological framework of the scoping review, the research questions were established, Chinese and English literature from January 2000 to March 2019 was searched and screened, relevant studies were identified, data extraction was performed on the included literature, and the research results were collected, summarized and reported. The search obtained 7417 documents, and after screening, a total of 14 articles were included. The publication time, research location, applied ICT technology, intervention objects, intervention tool construction process, function, research design, research duration, result type and theoretical framework applied in the research were summarized and analyzed. Conclusion There are few studies on ICT-based support for caregivers of children with cancer. Existing studies have confirmed that it can provide support to caregivers conveniently and effectively. However, the construction, usability and effectiveness evaluation of ICT-based intervention tools need to be improved, and background management support Insufficient, it is necessary to carry out continuously optimized clinical promotion based on further evaluation of cost-effectiveness.
