| Abstract |
The aim of this meta-analysis was to estimate the overall effect size (ES) of psychological interventions on anxiety in patients with cancer; and extract sample and intervention characteristics that influence effectiveness. PubMed, Scopus, PsycINFO, Embase, Medline and CINAHL were searched using Medical Subject Heading keywords- 'cancer' AND 'anxiety' AND 'psychological intervention' AND 'counselling' AND 'psycho*' AND 'psychotherapy' AND 'psychosocial' AND 'therapy' between January 1993- June 2017. Seventy-one studies were eligible for the systematic review; among them 51 studies were included in the meta-analysis calculations. The overall ES was -0.21 (95% confidence interval; -0.30 to -0.13) in favour the intervention. From sub-group analyses, studies conducted in Asia; enrolling inpatients; focussing on relaxation; of <6-week intervention duration; <30-minute intervention dose per session; and <4-hour of total time of intervention showed moderate ESs ranging from -0.40 to -0.55. Only two studies restricted enrolment to pre-screened patients with clinically elevated level of anxiety and showed moderate ES of -0.58. Low psychological distress at baseline and non-evidence based interventions were the main factors identified for low effectiveness. Screening and assessment to determine clinical levels of anxiety in patients with cancer should be considered in future trials as an inclusion criterion before providing psychological interventions. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 4. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 20 December 2019.
All research outputs
#7,606,987
of 24,453,338 outputs
Outputs from Psycho-Oncology
#1,041
of 2,438 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#122,697
of 331,273 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Psycho-Oncology
#19
of 42 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,453,338 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 68th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,438 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.9. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 56% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 331,273 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 62% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 42 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 52% of its contemporaries.
