This has created a need for a rapid evidence synthesis to inform the development of tailored interventions that address the specific needs of rural cancer survivors who continue to be affected by the pandemic. The review was conducted following guidance from the Cochrane Rapid Review Methods Group. Database searches were performed via the EBSCOHost interface (includes MEDLINE, CINAHL, PsycINFO) on 25 May 2022 and supplemented with searches on Google Scholar. Peer-reviewed articles published after March 2020 that reported primary data on the experiences of cancer survivors residing in rural and remote settings during the pandemic were included. Findings were tabulated and written up narratively. Fourteen studies were included. The COVID-19 pandemic had a mostly detrimental impact on the experiences of rural cancer survivors. People\u2019s individual coping mechanisms were challenging for a range of reasons. Specifically, the pandemic impacted on their ability to access testing, treatment, check-ups and supportive care, their ability to maintain and access social support with close friends and family, as well as negative consequences to their finances and emotional wellbeing with some reporting feelings of psychological distress including depression and anxiety. This review provides important insight into the experiences of rural cancer survivors that may help inform tailored support in line with the needs and challenges faced because of the pandemic.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph192416863","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,16]],"date-time":"2022-12-16T01:46:51Z","timestamp":1671155211000},"page":"16863","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["A Rapid Systematic Review on the Experiences of Cancer Survivors Residing in Rural Areas during the COVID-19 Pandemic"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2173-683X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"David","family":"Nelson","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Lincoln International Institute for Rural Health, University of Lincoln, Brayford Pool, Lincoln LN6 7TS, UK"},{"name":"Macmillan Cancer Support, London SE1 7UQ, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Samuel","family":"Cooke","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Health and Social Care, College of Social Science, University of Lincoln, Brayford Pool, Lincoln LN6 7TS, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ben","family":"McLeod","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Lincoln Medical School, College of Science, University of Nottingham and University of Lincoln, Lincoln LN6 7TS, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Agnes","family":"Nanyonjo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Lincoln International Institute for Rural Health, University of Lincoln, Brayford Pool, Lincoln LN6 7TS, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6926-2530","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ros","family":"Kane","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Health and Social Care, College of Social Science, University of Lincoln, Brayford Pool, Lincoln LN6 7TS, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mark","family":"Gussy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Lincoln International Institute for Rural Health, University of Lincoln, Brayford Pool, Lincoln LN6 7TS, UK"},{"name":"La Trobe Rural Health School, College of Science, Health and Engineering, La Trobe University, Bendigo, VIC 3086, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"363","DOI":"10.3322\/caac.21565","article-title":"Cancer treatment and survivorship statistics, 2019","volume":"69","author":"Miller","year":"2019","journal-title":"CA Cancer J.
