RESEARCH-META A NALYSIS & SYSTEMATIC REVIEWS Efficacy of Self-management Programs in Managing Side Effects of Breast Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Randomized Control Trials Lindsay Boogaard, MSc(PT); Leah Gater, MSc(PT); Mathieu Mori, MSc(PT); Andrew Trincao, MSc(PT); Jenna Smith-Turchyn, MSc(PT) School of Rehabilitation Science, McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada Background: Self-management programs are interventions that support patient empowerment of inde- pendent health behaviors. As the number of individuals surviving cancer is increasing, these programs are becoming more popular in clinical settings. However, there is currently no systematic review that assesses the effectiveness of self-management programs, specifically for individuals with breast cancer. Purpose: To de- termine the efficacy of self-management programs in decreasing treatment-related side effects experienced by breast cancer survivors at any point after their cancer diagnosis. Methods: An electronic literature search was conducted within the CENTRAL (Cochrane Central Register for Controlled Trials), CINAHL (Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature), Ovid EMBASE, and MEDLINE online databases. Randomized controlled trials that included women who had a primary diagnosis of breast cancer, who had partaken in a self-management program, and whose outcomes were compared with women not participating in such programs were included in this review.
