Supportive care in cancer : official journal of the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer(2023)
摘要
Purpose Both women with breast cancer and their minor children were affected by a breast cancer diagnosis. The purpose of this review was to synthesize the evidence from qualitative studies on illness-related communication between mothers with breast cancer and their minor children from mothers’ perspectives. Methods A thorough systematic review and meta-synthesis of qualitative studies was conducted. English articles published prior to 6 November 2021 were searched from five databases, including PubMed/ MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science, CINAHL, and PsycINFO. After screening the titles, abstracts, and full texts, seven articles were finally included in the quality appraisal and meta-aggregation. Results Four synthesized findings were derived from seven articles, including disclosure dilemma, factors impacting disclosure, methods of communication, and information needs. Conclusions This systematic review offered insight into the communication between mothers with breast cancer and their minor children. Various factors influenced the decision-making process on illness-related disclosure, as well as the methods and contents of the communication. Future studies should be undertaken to explore the common model shared by mothers and children who have had comparable experiences, as well as to completely analyze the differences between different cultures in this topic.
