ABSTRACT

Source abstract

The number of adolescent and young adult cancer survivors (AYACSs) is increasing due to advancements in therapies. Despite these improvements, 70% of survivors experience long-term side effects. This systematic review aims to identify digital tools that enhance the quality of life and well-being of AYACSs aged 15-29 years. The review was conducted using four databases: PubMed, Science Direct, Cochrane, and PsycINFO (OVID platform). Articles from bibliographic references of selected studies were also included if relevant. The search followed Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis guidelines and included studies published between January 2014 and December 2024 that described digital tools focusing on quality of life and/or well-being. Titles and abstracts were independently assessed by two reviewers, with a third reviewer resolving disagreements. The initial search identified 291 articles, updated in December 2024. After screening, 285 articles were excluded for not meeting the inclusion criteria. Three studies met the criteria, focusing on interventions related to information dissemination, physical activity, and psychological support. These studies, conducted in the United States and Australia between 2015 and 2024, included randomized controlled trials with measured outcomes related to quality of life and/or well-being. The findings suggest that digital tools can improve the quality of life of AYACSs, particularly through peer interaction and personalized content. However, the limited number of studies and participants highlights the need for further research. The review also discusses challenges in involving AYACSs in digital programs and suggests optimizing digital tools by promoting peer links, integrating social networks, and considering self-determination theory.
