There is currently insufficient evidence to determine whether non-pharmacological interventions have an impact on activity performance and participation in adult cancer survivors with cancer-related fatigue.
Increased cancer survivorship means more people are living with cancer-related fatigue (CRF), which is associated with activity performance limitations, restricted participation in meaningful life roles, and reduced quality of life. To identify whether non-pharmacological interventions that are effective in minimizing CRF also have an impact on everyday activity performance and participation outcomes for adult cancer survivors. This is a systematic review with narrative synthesis. Eight databases were searched (Medline, CINAHL, PsychINFO, EMBASE, Scopus, OT Seeker, CENTRAL, Cochrane SR database), from 2000 to 2020 for randomized controlled trials of effective non-pharmacological CRF interventions in adult cancer survivors with fatigue. A total of 5,762 studies were identified of which 29 studies were reviewed. In 28 studies, quality of life was investigated as a primary or secondary outcome, where concepts of participation or activity performance were used. Review findings indicate there is insufficient evidence to determine whether activity performance and participation is affected by CRF interventions.
