Enfermería Clínica is a peer-reviewed scientific journal that is a useful and necessary tool for nurses from the different areas of nursing (healthcare, administration, education and research) as well as for healthcare professionals involved in caring for persons, families and the community. It is the only Spanish nursing journal that mainly publishes original research. Its objectives are to promote the dissemination of knowledge, promote the development of evidence in care and contribute to the integration of research in clinical practice. These objective is pursued throughout the different sections that comprise the Journal: Original Articles and Short Original Articles, Reviews, Patient Care and Letters to the Editor. There is also an Evidence-Based Nursing section that includes two kinds of articles: comments about original articles of special interest written by experts, and evidence synthesis articles based on bibliographic reviews. The journal is included in National Library of Medicine/Pubmed/Medline, Scopus/SCImago Journal Rank(SJR), Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI) (Clarivate Analytics), CINHAL, Elsevier Bibliographic Databases, EBSCO Publishing, Biblioteca Nacional de Ciencias de la Salud, CSIC/IME, IBECS, Latindex, CUIDEN, Dialnet, Google Scholar Metrics.

Abstract

Objectives

This study aims to identify and analyze the scientific evidence on the effectiveness of massage therapy toward fatigue on cancer patients.

Methods

We used a PRISMA checklist to systematically review articles from the following databases: PubMed, Scopus, ProQuest, Science Direct, EBSCO, and Wiley Online Library, published from 2009 to 2018. We structured the research questions with the PICO elements. Although 2747 articles were obtained, only seven articles met the inclusion criteria. Each article was analyzed critically using CASP checklists.

Results

Among the seven shortlisted articles, one was a retrospective study, and six were intervention studies (four RCTs, one quasi-experiment, and one pre-posttest without control).

Conclusion

All of the studies found similar results that suggest massage therapy as one of the effective interventions in reducing fatigue in cancer patients.
