Purpose:
To identify and synthesise evidence describing patient engagement interventions that have been used to support people diagnosed with lung cancer.
Methods:
A rapid systematic review was conducted following guidance from the Cochrane Rapid Reviews Methods group and reported using the Preferred Reporting Item for Systematic Review and Meta-analysis (PRISMA) checklist. Keyword searches were performed in MEDLINE and supplemented by Google Scholar searches. Searches were restricted to peer-reviewed articles conducted in high-income countries and published in English. Data was extracted using the Template for Intervention Description and Replication (TIDieR) checklist, tabulated, and narratively synthesised. Data extraction and quality assessment were conducted by two independent reviewers.
Results:
Thirty-four studies were included in the final analysis. Studies show a positive impact of interventions across a range of engagement outcomes including patient and caregiver knowledge, patient activation, and decision making. Interventions were also shown to reduce healthcare use, reduce symptom severity, and improve psychosocial outcomes. Barriers to implementing interventions included: the timing/delivery of interventions, poor digital literacy, system and technical barriers, and poor uptake and adherence by advanced patients. Factors supporting intervention implementation included: participatory research/co-production approaches, providing training and support for those delivering interventions, involving caregivers, and employing broad recruitment strategies. The overall risk of bias for studies ranged from moderate to high.
Conclusion:
The identified interventions demonstrate significant potential for enhancing patient engagement and improving outcomes for lung cancer patients. Findings from this review will support the design and implementation of future interventions to help people with cancer engage with healthcare.
Review Registration:
The protocol was registered on the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO) (CRD42024521052) on 06/03/24.

Pulmonary Function Tests are crucial diagnostic tools for assessing respiratory function, particularly in patients with chronic respiratory disorders. They comprehensively evaluate lung volumes, ventilatory function, breathing mechanics, diffusion, and gas exchange. These tests help diagnose pulmonary diseases and play a significant role in monitoring disease progression, evaluating disability, and assessing response to therapy.
