This article contains a review of literature published from 2010 to 2016 on family caregiving in oncology. An analysis of 810 citations resulted in 50 randomized trials. These trials describe the need to prepare family caregivers for the complex role they play in cancer care. Several studies have demonstrated improved quality of life for family caregivers and improved emotional support from interventions. Several studies addressed communication and relational intimacy, which are key concerns. An additional focus of these trials was in the area of caregiving tasks and ways to diminish the burden of caregiving and preparedness for this role. Further research is needed in this area given the shift to outpatient care and as family caregivers become the primary providers of care. Future research should include expanding tested models of family caregiver support in clinical practice and in diverse populations. CA Cancer J Clin 2017. © 2017 American Cancer Society.

肿瘤学中家庭护理干预试验的回顾

本文包含对 2010 年至 2016 年发表的关于肿瘤学家庭护理的文献的回顾。对 810 次引文的分析产生了 50 项随机试验。这些试验描述了为家庭护理人员在癌症护理中扮演的复杂角色做好准备的必要性。多项研究表明，通过干预措施改善了家庭照顾者的生活质量并改善了情感支持。几项研究涉及沟通和亲密关系，这是关键问题。这些试验的另一个重点是护理任务和减轻护理负担的方法以及为这一角色做好准备的方法。鉴于向门诊护理的转变以及家庭护理人员成为主要护理提供者，该领域需要进一步研究。未来的研究应包括在临床实践和不同人群中扩展家庭照顾者支持的测试模型。CA Cancer J Clin 2017。© 2017 美国癌症协会。CA Cancer J Clin 2017；67：318-325。© 2017 美国癌症协会。
