Systematic review of technology-based interventions to improve anxiety, depression, and health-related quality of life among patients with prostate cancer.

Published in: Psycho-oncology (2019)

We found insufficient evidence to support the effectiveness of TBIs in improving health outcomes (anxiety, depression, and HRQOL) among patients with prostate cancer. Future research needs to (1) use rigorous randomized control trials, (2) be sufficiently powered to examine the effects of TBIs, and (3) examine how the effect of TBIs on health outcomes vary by actual intervention use, intervention components, and duration.
