Abstract
PURPOSE/ OBJECTIVES: To explore the literature to examine the physical, social, psychological, financial, usability, and feasibility outcomes of Web-based interventions on caregivers of people with cancer and to identify potential trends in this body of evidence. DATA SOURCES: PubMed, CINAHL®, PsycINFO®, and Inspec. DATA SYNTHESIS: Six articles met inclusion criteria. Across studies, most caregivers were middle-aged female spouses with some college attendance who felt "somewhat comfortable" using the Internet. Caregiver interventions used single- and multicomponent services and reduced negative mood. CONCLUSIONS: Web-based caregiver interventions can be beneficial in offering information and support and may positively influence the social and psychological outcomes in this population. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING: Many studies described caregiver Internet usage and interventional perceptions and needs, but few have examined the impact of web-based interventions on caregivers. More research is needed to produce high-quality evidence in this population.
