Abstract
Problem identification: Expanding on previous work in specific
cancer populations, this review aimed to explore factors
associated with decisional regret following treatment for a
range of cancer types.
Literature search: A systematic search of four databases identified
1747 studies, using search terms relating to cancer survivors
and decisional regret. Following quality appraisal,
correlates of regret were abstracted and analyzed using narrative
synthesis.
Data evaluation/synthesis: Seventy-two studies met the inclusion
criteria. Factors associated with treatment regret were categorized
as being either modifiable or less modifiable. Regret
was associated with various sociodemographic factors, physical
health, treatment type, an unsatisfactory decision-making process,
poorer mental health and lack of social support.
Conclusion: Results highlight the complex nature of regret
and illustrate how this can be experienced following a range
of cancer treatments. As regret can be an obstacle to full recovery
from cancer, this review suggests some ways in
which the emergence of regret may be mitigated.
