Objective Immigrants, particularly those who are less acculturated and limited English proficient (LEP), often lack access to culturally and linguistically appropriate psychosocial care in cancer survivorship. We sought to determine what psychosocial interventions are available for immigrant and/or LEP cancer patients and to assess treatment and patient factors that may correlate with better psychosocial outcomes for this population. Methods We conducted a systematic review and meta‐analysis of studies published through August 2022 of interventions conducted with immigrant and/or LEP cancer patients aimed at improving psychosocial outcomes (i.e., quality of life, depression, cancer‐related distress, and anxiety). Using Covidence, a software program for systematic review management, four independent raters screened 16,123 records with a systematic process for reconciling disagreement, yielding 48 articles (45 studies) for systematic review and 21 studies for meta‐analysis. Results Most studies were conducted with Spanish‐speaking patients with breast cancer. Study participants (N = 5400) were primarily middle‐aged (mean = 53 years old), female (90.0%), and Hispanic (67.0%). The weighted average effect size (g) across studies was 0.14 (95% CI 0.03–0.26) for quality of life (18 studies), 0.04 (95% CI −0.08 to 0.17) for depression (8 studies), 0.14 (95% CI −0.03 to 0.31) for cancer‐related distress (6 studies), and 0.03 (95% CI −0.11 to 0.16) for anxiety (5 studies). Conclusion The interventions under review had small but beneficial effects on psychosocial outcomes for immigrant and LEP cancer patients. Notably, effect sizes were smaller than those found in previous meta‐analyses of psychosocial interventions conducted in majority U.S.‐born, non‐Hispanic White, English‐speaking cancer patient samples. More research is needed to identify key components and adaptations of interventions that benefit immigrant and LEP cancer patients to strengthen their effects for this growing yet underserved population.

“…CBT can reduce the negative emotions of patients, which is equivalent to providing patients with social support. Some evidence indicates social support is also associated with depressive and anxiety symptoms and improvements in effect [ 38 ]. Relaxation training can improve certain aspects of a patient’s personality, enhance positive qualities, and adjust poor habits and attitudes [ 39 ], which in turn, will reduce anxiety and depression symptoms and improve quality of life [ 40 ].…”

Background Anxiety and depression are two common psychological disorders in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis. We aimed to explore the effects of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) on psychological stress and quality of life in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis. Methods From September 2018 to November 2018, 20 communities (461 participants in total) were randomly assigned in an intervention or control group following a two-level cluster random design. The intervention group underwent CBT for 2 months, whereas the control group received routine follow-up. Anxiety, depression, and quality of life were assessed using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), General Anxiety Disorder questionnaire (GAD-7), and 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) scales, respectively. Comparisons between the two groups were conducted using independent samples t-tests, and differences between the two groups before and after treatment were analyzed using paired samples t-tests. Results There were a total of 454 participants in the final analysis. After 2 months of CBT intervention, the CBT group had a GAD-7 score that was 1.72 lower than the control group (1.47–1.99, p < 0.001), a PHQ-9 score of the CBT group that was 2.05 lower than that of the control group (1.74–2.37, p < 0.001). The CBT group had a total SF-36 score that was 10.7 lower than that of the control group (95% CI: 7.9–13.5, p < 0.001). In patients with different degrees of anxiety and depression, only those in the intervention group who had mild and moderate anxiety and depression symptoms showed a significant reduction in anxiety and depression scores following the intervention. Conclusions CBT can relieve anxiety, and depression symptoms and increase the quality of life in subjects with pulmonary tuberculosis.
