Family participation in dignity interventions for patients with cancer receiving palliative care: A scoping review.
Review in Asia-Pacific journal of oncology nursing, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Objective: Cancer patients face significant physical and psychological challenges, often requiring assistance due to limited self-care and mobility. As primary caregivers, families play a critical role in their support. Recent research has highlighted family participation in dignity interventions aimed at enhancing dignity, value, and meaning in life, especially for terminal-stage patients. However, there is a lack of comprehensive synthesis and evaluation of the specific characteristics of family participation in these interventions. Methods: A scoping review was conducted following the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) methodology. We conducted a systematic search across nine databases, including PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, PsycINFO, ProQuest, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), and WanFang, covering all records available from each database's inception up to November 26th, 2024. Two independent reviewers systematically screened the titles, abstracts, and full texts of the included studies to assess their eligibility based on the predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: A total of 4422 publications were identified in this review, of which 32 studies were included, with 29 conducted in Asia. The research primarily focused on the characteristics of family participation in dignity interventions, which were predominantly structured around four key components: Explanation Session, Reminiscence Session, Transcript Review Session, and Sharing Session. Family participation in dignity interventions were found to have significant benefits for end-stage cancer patients across multiple domains, including mental health, psychological well-being, quality of life, and family relationships. Additionally, these interventions showed positive impacts on family caregivers. Conclusions: The review synthesized the characteristics and outcomes of family participation in dignity interventions, highlighting their potential to enhance patient dignity, strengthen family dynamics, and promote positive psychosocial outcomes. Future research should focus on exploring diverse cultural and clinical applications to validate the evidence and to improve the accessibility and implementation of such interventions.
