The quality of the studies was assessed using the tools of the Effective Public Health Practice Project.Results: A total of 33 articles were identified for systematic review and 23 articles were identified for meta-analysis. For patients, the effect size was 0.42 (Hedges's g, 95% CI = 0.05-0.78, p = 0.03) for physical health. For partners, the effect size was 0.52 (Hedges's g, 95% CI = 0.06-0.98, p = 0.03) for sexual relationships. However, moderate to high heterogeneity was reported. Effects on sexual function, sexual self-concept, and mental health for couples were not significant.Conclusion: Couple-based interventions had small to medium-sized effects on physical health for cancer patients. Partners could derive medium effects for improvement in sexual relationships from couple-based intervention. Future research should pay more attention to sexual self-concept in cancer patients and target types of cancer that are more likely to compromise sexuality and QOL.Prospero Registration: The systematic review and meta-analysis has been registered in PROSPERO with registration number: CRD42019119047. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
