“…The body of current literature suggests that this area of research and practice is still under development. While several studies assessing the feasibility of digital PPC interventions have shown good acceptance among the users, empirical research needs to move beyond feasibility studies and include efficacy trial with large samples in order to provide critically needed evidence to inform development and dissemination of digital PPC interventions.…”

Digital interventions to facilitate patient‐provider communication in cancer care: A systematic review

2020

Objective: Patient-provider communication is a critical component of cancer care. Digital tools have been applied to facilitate cancer care and patient-provider communication. However, to date, there is no systematic review on this growing body of literature. The objective of this study is to identify the existing digital interventions to improve patient-provider communication among cancer patients and survivors, summarize their characteristics, and synthesize the outcomes of these interventions. Methods: We searched the databases of PubMed, CINAHL, and PsycINFO using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines with the following criteria: (a) empirical studies focusing on digital interventions to facilitate communication between cancer patients or survivors and their health care providers, (b) reporting qualitative or quantitative health outcomes of the cancer patients or survivors after the digital intervention, and (c) English articles published after 2000. Results: The initial literature search generated 1006 articles; only 13 met the inclusion criteria. Most of the studies were conducted among breast, prostate, and lung cancer patients. Ten out of 13 studies used randomized controlled trials to evaluate intervention efficacy. The outcomes assessed included symptoms reporting and management, decision making, distress and quality of life, and utilization of health care. Most studies reported positive outcomes following the interventions. Conclusions: The existing evidence on the number, characteristics, and outcomes of digital interventions to improve patient-provider communication suggests the preliminary efficacy of such interventions. It is essential to develop and implement more evidence-based digital interventions to engage patients, enhance patient-provider communication, and facilitate patient-centered decision making to improve patientcentered health outcomes, especially in underserved communities of cancer patients and survivors.

“…Of the 5 studies, 3 included participants with diverse types of cancer [17-19], 1 focused on patients with chronic myeloid leukemia [20], and 1 focused on breast cancer patients [21]. All the studies focused on adult participants (aged >18 years).…”

“…In addition, 2 distinct methods were used to deliver the interventions: SMS text messages and mobile apps. The SMSs were sent as medication intake reminders and frequency was daily or twice daily according to individual medication intake schedules [17,20]. The SMS reminders were bidirectional (participants’ response “Y” or “N” was expected) to collect data on the frequency of taking medication.…”

“…The content of the SMS (message bank, wording, and theoretical framework) was reported by Spoelstra et al [17] and informed by social cognitive theory. The SMS content in Pereira-Salgado et al’s study was not described [20]. For future research to understand the process of how SMS reminders influence adherence, it is important that these details (eg, content, frequency, and sender) are reported.…”

“…Overall, participants showed high rates of response to SMS reminders. In 2 studies, they replied 87.13% (1036/1189) of the times [17] and only up to 22% (17/80) of the SMS were not replied when sent [20]. This not only shows that participants received and read the SMS but also actively participated in reporting medication-taking events.…”

BackgroundAdherence to oral chemotherapy is crucial to maximize treatment outcomes and avoid health complications in cancer patients. Mobile phones are widely available worldwide, and evidence that this technology can be successfully employed to increase medication adherence for the treatment of other chronic diseases (eg, diabetes) is well established. However, the extent to which there is evidence that mobile phone–based interventions improve adherence to oral chemotherapy is unknown.ObjectiveThis scoping review aims to explore what is known about mobile phone–delivered interventions designed to enhance adherence to oral chemotherapy, to examine the reported findings on the utility of these interventions in increasing oral chemotherapy adherence, and to identify opportunities for development of future interventions.MethodsThis study followed Arksey and O’Malley’s scoping review methodological framework.ResultsThe review search yielded 5 studies reporting on 4 interventions with adults (aged >18 years) diagnosed with diverse cancer types. All interventions were considered acceptable, useful, and feasible. The following themes were evident: text messages and mobile apps were the main methods of delivering these interventions, the 2 most commonly employed oral chemotherapy adherence–enhancing strategies were management and reporting of drug-related symptoms and reminders to take medication, the importance of stakeholders’ engagement in intervention design, and the overall positive perceptions of delivery features. Areas for future research identified by this review include the need for further studies to evaluate the impact of mobile phone–delivered interventions on adherence to oral chemotherapy as well as the relevance for future studies to incorporate design frameworks and economic evaluations and to explore the moderator effect of high anxiety, poor baseline adherence, and longer time taking prescribed drug on adherence to oral chemotherapy.ConclusionsDespite the increasing body of evidence on the use of mobile phones to deliver medication adherence–enhancing interventions in chronic diseases, literature on the oral chemotherapy context is lacking. This review showed that existing interventions are highly acceptable and useful to cancer patients. The engagement of stakeholders as well as the use of a design framework are important elements in the development of mobile phone–delivered interventions that can be translated into oncology settings.
