Managing psychological distress in women with breast cancer: A systematic review of intervention trends in the past decade

Effective distress management requires multimodal, theory-based interventions delivered by trained professionals, rather than cognitive-focused or minimally structured approaches. Future interventions should incorporate standardized distress assessment tools and clearly articulated theoretical frameworks, focusing on younger survivors, who remain significantly underrepresented. Although digital platforms enhance accessibility, their effectiveness depends on evidence-based content and structured implementation. Strengthening these elements will improve both the comparability and overall effectiveness of interventions for BCSs.
