Effectiveness of solution-focused brief therapy on cancer patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis
SFBT may be effective in reducing anxiety, depression, cancer-related fatigue and improving quality of life in cancer patients. However, due to the limitations of the original study, including a high risk of bias and significant heterogeneity, although the research results are encouraging, the overall quality of existing evidence is low, so we cannot draw clear conclusions. More robust research designs are needed to accurately evaluate the effects of this treatment.
