AB - This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a psychological intervention in reducing anxiety and depression among parents of children with cancer. A total of 1,323 articles were searched for randomized controlled trials published up to November 2024 in PubMed, CINAHL, Embase, Cochrane Library, RISS, KISS, and ScienceOn, and 20 articles were finally included in the meta-analysis through screening. The results of the analysis showed that psychological intervention had a large effect on anxiety reduction immediately after the intervention (SMD = –1.53) and a medium effect at follow-up (SMD = –0.77), and a large effect on depression reduction immediately after the intervention (SMD = –0.97) and a greater effect at follow-up (SMD = –1.39). In subanalysis, cognitive behavioral therapy was the most effective, and emotional support and peer support programs also showed significant effects. In addition, online and group-based interventions were found to be more effective than offline and individual interventions. This study provides a basis for designing a customized program to alleviate the emotional distress of parents of children with cancer.
