In the present paper, these studies and the respective therapeutic interventions were categorized and rated concerning their clinical relevance and their study design supporting a differential therapeutic approach.
Interventions were categorized using Grande et al. guidelines and collated and summarized outcomes measures into three categories: 1) patient-reported outcomes; 2) observer-reported outcomes; and 3) doctor-reported outcomes.
For the purpose of this study, interventions were categorized into three groups: preoperative (preoperative counseling session followed by postoperative therapy), pre- and postoperative therapy (multiple therapy sessions preoperatively and postoperatively), and postoperative therapy alone.
Interventions were categorized to being either drug, biological or vaccine versus other interventions.
Surgical interventions were categorized by type of procedure.
Using a hybrid thematic analysis, the behavior change interventions were categorized according to the DCOM® model.
In this category different types of interventions are categorized including caregiver support group interventions [ 20], psychotherapeutic interventions, support interventions [ 22], cognitive behavioral therapy, general support [ 19] and cognitive reframing interventions [ 15].
Firstly, in a number of systematic reviews, the adherence interventions are categorized according to the underlying mainstream theories, for example, as either behavioural or educational or a combination of both [ 27- 30].
Type and purpose of the surgical intervention were categorized and recorded.
The different components in each intervention were categorized, and data were extracted on intervention intensity (number of sessions, duration), setting (e.g., primary care, hospital), the professionals involved, delivery method (e.g., individual or group, face-to-face or remote delivery), and quality control (training, supervision, written manuals, and assessments of adherence or competence).
The pharmaceutical care intervention was categorized into the intervention phase (phases I to III) and reinforcement phase (phases IV and V).
