“…The use of technology is proven to affect the self-efficacy of cancer patients. (8,9) Based on level of education, some respondents have secondary education (high school, Islamic high school, vocational high school, vocational Islamic high school), that is 47 people (43.9%). Higher education will certainly affect the cognitive abilities and attitudes of cancer patients towards the treatment that will be carried out.…”

Self-efficacy is needed as a basis for action and is defined as a person’s ability to take care of himself in order to achieve the expected results. Breast cancer patients need good self-efficacy to undergo treatment, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aims to describe the characteristics of breast cancer patients and their relationship with self-efficacy during treatment at the Dharmais Cancer Hospital. The study design used was cross-sectional, involving 107 cancer patients through consecutive sampling. Self-efficacy was assessed using the Cancer Behavior Inventory (CBI) instrument. Data were analyzed using the Chi-square test. The results showed that as many as 69 respondents (64%) had low self-efficacy during the COVID-19 pandemic. The results showed that age (p = 0.008), employment status (p = 0.026), monthly income (p = 0.000), and ward (p = 0.031) had significant relationship to self-efficacy. Self-efficacy describes the optimistic perception of cancer patients being able to overcome their cancer-related stressors. In probable or confirmed cases of COVID-19, most patients will fall into a state of psychological crisis, unstable emotions, rejection, anger, and non-compliance with treatment. Education and counseling regarding self-efficacy are needed in an effort to increase the self-efficacy of breast cancer patients undergoing treatment during the COVID-19 pandemic at Dharmais Cancer Hospital Jakarta. Keywords: self-efficacy, breast cancer, COVID-19

“… 53 Others suggested that e-health devices are preferable. 23 , 26 , 49 Several studies have shown that patients have difficulties initiating communication about self-care strategies with healthcare practitioners and that this is a source of dissatisfaction. 51 Patients do not feel comfortable talking about their use of self-care with healthcare practitioners, who in turn do not ask patients about self-care.…”

“…25 However, in general, several studies have shown promising effects of self-care. 20,23-27 One review 27 found that 75% of the included trials revealed a positive effect of the self-care activities physical activity, cognitive distraction, and increased recovery, that is, relaxation. Overall, there appears to be at least one effective self-care strategy for each of the symptoms 20 experienced by the currently studied patients.…”

“… 4 , 15 , 22 Common integrative cancer therapies, among the wide range of adopted strategies, include dietary or nutritional and lifestyle modifications, physical activity, and increased recovery and relaxation. 20 , 23 , 27 Self-care may include strategies used to help in coping with the side effects of cancer therapies, and the choice of such strategies is based on the individual patient’s preferences. 15 , 28 , 29 Consequently, self-care as a health-promoting intervention may be important to consider as a potential method of reducing the severity of side effects.…”

“…28 Regarding the utilization of self-care, many different self-care strategies have been described, 15,22,[26][27][28][29] and considerable beneficial effects of self-care have been demonstrated in patients undergoing cancer therapy. 20,[23][24][25][26][27] However, the fact that there is scientific evidence for such effects based on randomized controlled trials does not mean that patients will adhere to practicing beneficial self-care strategies in the context of routine care. In many efficacy studies of self-care practice, patients have been guided by healthcare practitioners and e-health devices that enable them to practice adequate self-care.…”

Objectives: The objective of this study was to describe self-care practice during radiotherapy for cancer and to identify potential differences between practitioners and non-practitioners of self-care regarding sociodemographic, clinical, functional, and quality-of-life-related characteristics. Methods: In this descriptive study, 439 patients (87% response rate) undergoing radiotherapy responded to a study questionnaire regarding self-care, sociodemographic, clinical (eg, experienced symptoms), functional, and quality-of-life-related characteristics. Results: Of the 439 patients, 189 (43%) practiced at least one self-care strategy, while 250 (57%) did not. In total, the patients described 332 self-care practices, resulting in 14 different categories of self-care strategies. The 5 most common indicators of practicing self-care were fatigue, general wellbeing, psychological symptoms, nausea, vomiting and improving physical condition. The 5 most common self-care strategies were physical activity, increased recovery, healthy eating, distraction, and skincare. Patients who were married, were older than 69, patients with less education than university education, patients undergoing a combination of internal and external radiotherapy, patients experiencing fewer than 8 symptoms, and better quality of life, practiced self-care to a lower extent than did other patients. Functional capacity did not differ between self-care practitioners and non-practitioners. Conclusion and Implications for Practice: Of the patients undergoing radiotherapy, slightly less than half practiced self-care during an ordinary week of radiotherapy. Because older and less-educated patients were less likely to practice self-care, cancer care practitioners should consider paying particular attention to helping such patients with their self-care practice.

BackgroundDigital health technologies have expanded tremendously in the last two decades, creating an emerging research and clinical field. They are regarded as cost‐effective, and their use in healthcare is prioritized by many countries. However, the constant evolution of these technologies has led to an abundance of related literature. Thus, we conducted an umbrella review to identify and characterize digital supportive care interventions for patients with cancer and their relatives.MethodsA preregistered umbrella review was conducted (PROSPERO registration number CRD42022333110). Five databases were searched (Embase, PsycINFO, PubMed, CINAHL, and the Cochrane Library). To be considered, studies had to be systematic reviews or meta‐analyses, be performed on pediatric or adult patients with cancer or survivors or their relatives, report results on web‐based or app‐based supportive care interventions, and measure psychological, functional, or behavioral variables or quality of life related to cancer. The methodological quality of the studies was assessed using the AMSTAR‐2 tool.FindingsTwenty eligible studies were identified. Most of the included studies reported results from adult patients with cancer. Globally, digital interventions were shown to be effective for physical activity in patients with cancer but had mixed results regarding emotional outcomes and quality of life. Additionally, a lack of methodological quality was noted for most of the included reviews.DiscussionDigital supportive care interventions could be an effective tool in cancer care for some outcomes. Recommendations have been formulated for further research in this field using adapted methodologies for the development of digital health interventions.
