ZHANG, Xi | ZHAO, Meizhen | ZENG, Tieying | WEI, Xiaoli

OBJECTIVE: This study aims to synthesize and critically evaluate the current evidence on interventions aimed at enhancing death preparedness among patients with advanced cancer. METHODS: A comprehensive search of PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, ProQuest, and Web of Science was conducted to identify relevant studies. The review followed Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Preferred Reporting Items (PRISMA) guidelines, with a structured assessment of study quality and intervention outcomes. RESULTS: Nine studies involving a total of 876 patients with advanced cancer met the inclusion criteria. Interventions demonstrated significant improvements in overall death preparedness, with additional benefits observed in psychological well-being and functional status. Most interventions incorporated death education, psychological support, and meaning-centered psychotherapy. CONCLUSIONS: Interventions appear to be effective in enhancing death preparedness among patients with advanced cancer. Future research should focus on refining intervention components, clearly defining outcome measures, and aligning strategies with individualized patient needs and goals.
