Abstract
Background: Those who care for individuals with chronic illnesses dedicate a significant portion of their time and effort to their patients. This research sought to examine strategies that promote resilience in caregivers of individuals with chronic diseases (PwCD). Methods: A systematic review of literature published either through databases Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, MagIran and SID or Google Scholar search engine was undertaken. The review was conducted according to the PRISMA review guidelines. Results: Ten studies were included in this review. Quantitative data provides empirical support for the advantages of psychoeducation, mindfulness-based intervention, CBT-based intervention, strengthening family coping resources approach, supportive-educational Program based on COPE model, and commitment therapy. Seven of the Ten included studies were randomized controlled trials. Conclusion: The current analysis showed that psychoeducation, mindfulness-based intervention, CBT-based intervention, strengthening family coping resources approach, supportive-educational Program based on COPE model, and commitment therapy could enhance resilience in caregivers of PwCD. However, the most effective intervention for improving resilience remains uncertain. Further robust clinical trials are needed to strengthen the existing limited evidence base for interventions aimed at enhancing caregiver resilience.
