Support needs of adolescents' post-cancer treatment: A systematic review
Introduction:
The study aimed to investigate the support needs for adolescents' post-cancer treatment.
Materials And Methods:
A systematic literature review was conducted, articles were obtained from the following databases, Science Direct, PubMed and SCOPUS. Additional studies were identified from the reference lists of articles included in the review.
Results:
119 articles were identified as potentially relevant, of these, a total of 16 articles were nominated to be included in the review for analysis.
Conclusion:
The role of relationships and key workers were important to enabling survivors to self-manage. Studies have commended the role of friendships during the cancer treatment process but also as a means to coping with issues relating to survivorship. Using a coping mechanism thought to be beneficial by the survivor often improves their overall wellbeing. The eagerness to continue a normal successful life post-cancer treatment seems to be over-shadowed by the fear of not being able to conceive offspring. This, in turn, can impact the psychological wellbeing of survivors, thus signifying the need to develop ways in supporting these individuals. With research into quality of life (QoL) and survivorship issues continuing to progress and reach new heights, there is still much to be done.
