Heterogeneity in intervention models, outcome measures, and treatment timing limits cross-study comparisons; however, hybrid delivery approaches show promise for improving psychosocial outcomes. Greater integration of psychosocial care across the lymphatic care continuum, supported by standardized outcome measures, may strengthen supportive care for individuals living with lymphedema.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00520-026-10972-9","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,3]],"date-time":"2026-07-03T02:53:05Z","timestamp":1783047185000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Interventions to improve the psychosocial outcomes of individuals with lymphedema: a systematic review"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"34","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-2502-229X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sarah","family":"Stolker","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shuya","family":"Yin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wendy","family":"Auslander","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"10972_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12913-023-09786-w","volume":"23","author":"E Torgbenu","year":"2023","unstructured":"Torgbenu E, Luckett T, Buhagiar M, Phillips JL (2023) Practice points for lymphoedema care in low- and middle- income countries developed by nominal group technique.
