“…Lord et al, 2020;Mahrer-Imhof et al, 2022;Mooney-Doyle et al, 2021). Despite providing evidence of the efficacy of family-focused interventions, the authors of these reviews identified considerable variation in the effects of interventions across families and limited attention to the family variables mediating and moderating intervention efficacy (García-Vivar et al, 2023). Reviewers also emphasized the need for theory-based interventions that are grounded in foundational research and informed by the underlying epistemological assumptions of the paradigm in which the research is situated.…”

Family nursing researchers are charged with addressing the conceptual and methodological underpinnings of family research when developing family-focused interventions. Step-by-step guidance is needed that integrates current science of intervention development with family science and helps researchers progress from foundational work to experimental work with policy integration. The purpose of this manuscript is to provide pragmatic, evidence-based guidance for advancing family intervention research from foundational work through efficacy testing. Guidance regarding the development of family interventions is presented using the first three of Sidani’s five-stage method: (a) foundational work to understand the problem targeted for change; (b) intervention development and assessment of acceptability and feasibility; and (c) efficacy testing. Each stage of family intervention development is described in terms of process, design considerations, and policy and practice implications. Examples are included to emphasize the family lens. This manuscript provides guidance to family scientists for intervention development and implementation to advance family nursing science and inform policy.

Purpose This review aimed to synthesize the literature regarding health interventions delivered to adult cancer survivors and their families during posttreatment phase. Methods An integrative literature review was conducted that included quantitative and qualitative studies. The search was carried out in four databases using the same terms or MeSH terms and included data from January 2012 to February 2024. After quality assessment, data were extracted and synthesized. The protocol was registered in PROSPERO. Results Among the seven studies included, two studies were randomized controlled trials, three were observational, and two utilized a qualitative approach. The studies originated from France, Australia, Canada, the UK, and the USA. In total, 704 participants were included, 294 were cancer survivors, 40 were non-cancer patients, 271 were family and caregivers, and 99 were healthcare professionals. The studies assessed survival durations after cancer treatment, ranging from 18 months to 6 years. The sparse interventions found across the studies used a multifaceted approach tailored to address various aspects of cancer survivorship and caregiver support. Conclusion This review provides insights into the complex landscape of posttreatment support requirements for cancer survivors and their family caregivers. This finding underscores the critical necessity for additional intervention research involving comprehensive, accessible, and supportive services that address the multifaceted dimensions of survivorship for the patient and family as a unit.

Purpose of review Dementia is a chronic progressive terminal condition. Most care is provided by family caregivers (including close friends); their wellbeing is a public health priority. Caregivers manage increasingly complex needs with disease progression, and declining cognitive and physical function. This can impact the well-being of caregivers, and meaningful support is essential. This review article aims to understand what the benefits and challenges of digital health interventions are and provide considerations for future development of digital health interventions for family caregivers for people with dementia, to improve quality of life. Recent findings Benefits include the valuable source of support from connective platforms; 24/7 accessibility; and opportunity for remote monitoring. However, this needs to balance with challenges, including the privacy of data concerns; and the digital divide driving inequalities in care provision for family caregivers with no access to internet devices. Summary Digital health interventions can positively impact the overall well-being of family caregivers for people with dementia. If challenges are addressed and digital health interventions are designed to meet priorities for family caregivers, this can help improve the quality of life for family caregivers of people with dementia.
