Orchestration Workflows in Distributed Systems: A Systematic Analysis of Efficiency Optimization and Service Coordination

This article presents a comprehensive analysis of orchestration workflows in modern software architectures, examining their role in optimizing service efficiency and coordination across distributed systems. Through a systematic investigation of implementation patterns and operational strategies, we demonstrate how orchestrated workflows enhance service integration, automate complex processes, and improve system reliability. The article employs a mixed-method approach, combining quantitative performance metrics from real-world implementations with qualitative analysis of architectural patterns across diverse enterprise environments. The findings reveal that organizations implementing robust orchestration workflows experienced a 47% reduction in service integration failures, 35% improvement in resource utilization, and 62% faster deployment cycles. The article also identifies critical success factors in orchestration implementation, including dynamic resource management, automated error handling, and comprehensive monitoring frameworks. Furthermore, The article proposes a novel framework for evaluating orchestration effectiveness in cloud-native environments, considering factors such as service mesh integration, container orchestration, and distributed tracing. This article contributes to the growing body of knowledge in service optimization by providing empirical evidence of orchestration benefits and offering practical guidelines for implementing scalable, resilient software systems through advanced workflow orchestration strategies.

Firearm Injury Prevention and Survivor Interventions: A Scoping Review.

To examine components of firearm injury prevention and survivor response programs, their outcomes, and gaps in this body of research. A total of 100 publications were identified across four databases: PubMed/Medline, PsycInfo, CINAHL, and Scopus. Articles were screened for inclusion in the scoping review and details were extracted into an electronic table for synthesis. A total of 27 articles were included. Education on firearm injury prevention was shown to be feasible and acceptable in health care settings, including emergency departments. Firearm survivor interventions to reduce violent injury recidivism may include peer or mentored support along with case management for coordination of mental health services, vocational training, and other services to address social determinants of health. Other community initiatives to clean up abandoned lots and engage community members in creating safe neighborhoods have been shown to reduce overall gun violence. Multi-level interventions that encompass education on reducing firearm injuries, strategies to improve psychosocial conditions and access to mental health services, as well as meeting the needs of firearm injury survivors, their families, and communities, are needed. Health sector and community partnerships can lead to integrated and sustainable programs to achieve safer neighborhoods and improve psychosocial outcomes for individuals affected by gun violence and impacted communities.

Review of national rare disease strategies: innovation driving change

Abstract Background A rare disease affects fewer than 5 in 10,000 people. More than 6,000 known rare diseases affect up to 6% of the European population. A national rare disease strategy sets out a country’s plan to reduce disease burden and improve quality of care for people with rare diseases. This review, requested by the Department of Health in Ireland to inform a new national strategy, described national rare disease strategies in 13 selected countries. Methods Strategies published from 2013 to 2023 were identified via online searches for Austria, Australia, Denmark, England, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, the Netherlands, Northern Ireland, Portugal, Scotland and Wales. National representatives were contacted to confirm the identified resources. Data were extracted for the domains of: aims, priorities, implementation, governance and funding models. Descriptive analysis and narrative synthesis was undertaken. Results Improving treatment and coordination of care was a common overall aim. Priorities noted in all strategies were: screening and diagnosis; access to healthcare and coordination of services; rare disease research; and patient representation and empowerment. Implementation details varied to reflect the national context and time of strategy development. More recently-developed strategies included more precise actions and greater emphasis on innovations in genomics than older strategies. Strategies were developed, implemented, monitored and evaluated via combinations of newly-established bodies and or existing health authorities. Six countries did not specify a funding model or dedicated budget for strategy implementation. Conclusions National rare disease strategy contents and implementation approaches varied between countries and reflected innovations over time. This review will inform the development of Ireland’s new national rare disease strategy. Key messages • This review provided insights into national rare disease strategies over a 10-year period. • The findings will inform strategy development in Ireland, and are relevant to other countries.

Study tours as strategy in building multi-level public health system transformation in Ukraine (UA)

Abstract With 14 million Ukrainians in need of psychological aid (UNDP) and a strained health system, UA urgently requires mental health and psychological support services (MHPSS). As a TA partner on the USAID funded Public Health System Recovery and Resilience project in UA, the Philadelphia (PHL) team supports capacity building for population-based MHPSS at the community level with a study tour strategy. Such approaches apply to other countries interested in remodeling public health systems. The strategy aims to advance community based MHPSS through in person tours in PHL with remote follow up to stimulate vision, exchange ideas and accelerate action among governmental, community, and academic partners. The study tours presented overviews on health policy, system development, program services delivered to children and adults, community interventions, and workforce development of professionals and paraprofessionals. All included the foundational principles of trauma-informed practice. The June 2023 tour hosted 11 decision makers and regional officials who embraced the vision for system development and endorsed further engagement. The December 2023 tour hosted 13 practitioners and coordinators of health and social services to observe community programs. Results include development of PHL NGOs and UA social service hub partnerships to implement train the trainer programs for peers/people with lived experience and for mural arts programs to promote community engagement and empowerment. The September 2024 tour involves university partners from nursing, social work and psychology and PHL counterparts to strengthen curricula to include mental health competencies, support faculty development with potential for collaborative research and student exchange, and design post-graduate continuing education courses for upskilling the incumbent workforce. Study tours and direct exchange are an effective strategy for capacity building for MHPSS in Ukraine to address population health needs. Key messages • The sequenced study tour strategy affects distinct levels of change makers in UA. The results are governmental buy-in, partnerships for programmatic development, and academic advancement. • The study tour model promotes systematic change and offers solutions to MHPSS workforce shortages through information exchange, relationship building, and capacity development.

Making it real: Actioning the mental health strategy with Pacific Island communities.

This paper explores the practical implications of the World Health Organization strategy of focussing on community-based mental health and wellbeing ecosystems in the context of the Pacific Island Countries. It draws on the expertise of the participants of a collaborative workshop held during the Creating Futures conference in 2023 to discuss successes, challenges, barriers, opportunities in the implementation of the framework and to examine potential future actions. Some of the significant factors that make for effective and sustained community-based mental health systems include appropriate central coordination and oversight of community-based services, adequate frameworks for quality assurance, meaningful data collection and sustained long-term funding, as well as a range of workforce factors. Flexible and place-based approaches also need to be considered in effective implementation, moving away from Western diagnostic 'labels' to communication that is effective at the local level. Positive community resources as well as the relative youth of the mental health sector in the Pacific Island Nations are huge opportunities to develop affective and appropriate community mental health systems.

From Pandemic to Heatwave: Digital Strategies for Health Resilience

Abstract Heatwaves threaten public health in the EU, as evidenced by the high heat-related mortality in the summer of 2022. Despite their frequency, European heat-health action plans (HHAPs) largely exclude digital solutions. The COVID-19 pandemic shifted perceptions and use of digital health tools, demonstrating their effectiveness in responding to health crises and providing insights for heatwave management. This work explores the potential of further including digital health interventions into European HHAPs. The objective is to identify adaptable digital strategies to mitigate heatwave health impacts. We started by analyzing WHO’s guidance on the creation of HHAPs, as well as the European Observatory on Health Systems and Policies’ assessment of the four main areas supported by digital health tools during the pandemic. Later, we proposed four main areas where digital health solutions could be efficiently integrated. Each area underwent a rapid literature review to identify digital solutions used during COVID-19, followed by a critical analysis for applicability in heat-health action planning. We identified four areas where the implementation of digital tools should be explored: Communication and Information Dissemination (focusing on raising awareness among vulnerable groups, caregivers, and organizations); Modeling and Forecasting (developing precise forecasts for proactive planning); Health services coordination (among services delivering immediate care during heatwaves); Monitoring and Population Surveillance (implementing strategies to identify and mitigate heat-related risks e.g. among vulnerable populations). Results indicate that digital health solutions from COVID-19 can enhance national HHAPs. Tools for pandemic prevention and response are applicable to extreme weather events. The pandemic’s increased digital usage resulted from policy changes and infrastructure investment - leveraging these advancements could prepare Europe for extreme heat threats. Key messages • Results indicate that digital health solutions from COVID-19 can enhance national HHAPs. Tools for pandemic prevention and response are applicable to extreme weather events. • The pandemic’s increased digital usage resulted from policy changes and infrastructure investment - leveraging these advancements could prepare Europe for extreme heat threats.

Primary care nurses’ readiness to promote digital health technology use among patients

Abstract Background Digital health technologies (DHTs) aim to optimise resource allocation and improve public health outcomes as care supplements. However, many patients do not access them independently. Nurses, as central contacts for primary care patients, can integrate digital health assessments, patient portals, remote monitoring, and teleconsultations into practice. Insight into their readiness to promote patients’ use of DHTs is important for efficient dissemination strategies. We examined nurses’ referral of patients to use DHTs and whether digital dedication (enthusiasm, inspiration, and pride for DHTs) and service guidance skills were associated with referral behaviour. Methods In spring 2023, the national ‘2023 survey on information systems for registered nurses’ gathered data from 549 nurses in Finnish primary care, comprising registered nurses (62%) and public health nurses (38%). The outcome, frequency of nurses’ DHT referrals, was assessed on a scale ranging from never to daily. We used multivariable ordinal logistic regression to examine associations, adjusted for career length, unit, and location. Results Among the nurses, 31% never or seldom referred patients to DHTs, while 19% did so monthly, 32% weekly, and 18% daily. Multivariable model showed that with each one-point increase in digital dedication (scale 1-5), the odds of referring patients to DHTs more frequently increased by 43% (OR = 1.43, 95% CI 1.21-1.70). Nurses who rated their service guidance skills as good (OR = 1.76, 1.01-3.05) or excellent (OR = 2.89, 1.28-6.62) had greater odds of referring patients to DHTs more frequently compared to those with less advanced skills. Conclusions Referring patients to DHTs is not a common practice for primary care nurses and can undermine care equity. Nurses’ motivation and knowledge about DHTs should be fostered, which may enhance patient referrals. Developing guidelines to assess patients’ digital capability and needs for effective service coordination is paramount. Key messages • Digitally committed and service-aware primary care nurses may refer patients to use DHTs more often than their peers, but we could not consider if suitable DHTs were available for patients encountered. • Nurses should be motivated to use digital tools and provided with instructions for proficiently coordinating services in order to address patients’ underutilisation of DHTs and promote equitable care.

Perspectives of Families with Seriously ill Children and Adolescents in Lower Saxony: Focus on Care and Support - An Analysis of the Current Situation and Possible Support Services

The care of children and adolescents in need of care at home is exacerbated by the shortage of skilled workers in the care sector, which leads to bottlenecks in care and presents caring families with major challenges. The implementation of new care approaches in existing structures in the healthcare system is proving to be a key development task in order to provide targeted support for affected families in the future. Qualitative explorative interview study to record the perspective of families with (seriously) ill children and adolescents on the current care situation and possible helpful support services. The sampling was criteria-driven and the analysis and evaluation was content-analytical. Respondents were given a short questionnaire to record socio-demographic characteristics. In particular, the transmission of the diagnosis, the everyday challenges and the impact on quality of life were named as stress factors by n=10 participating parents. Improved access to information, voluntary structures and central contact points as well as digital services were named as key development needs. The interviews from real life and needs-oriented perspective show that there is a need to expand low-threshold care coordination services, strengthen voluntary structures and use telemedical services. Meeting these needs should enable access to specialized treatment and helpful services, especially in rural areas.

Barriers Perceived by Professionals in Family-Centered Early Intervention Services: A Systematic Review of the Current Evidence

AbstractFamily-centered services are the recommended early intervention approach to develop and deliver services for children with disabilities and their families. This systematic review aims to identify and highlight what barriers service providers in family-centered early intervention perceive that prevent them from providing high-quality services focused on the family and the child's overall well-being. We identified 37 articles that met the selection criteria of the first initial search of 1858 articles. These studies provided insights from both service providers and families. The identified barriers were categorized into eight dimensions: family, child, knowledge, and application of the approach/model, professional beliefs, natural environment, service coordination, working conditions, and current legislation. The main barriers identified were family barriers, insecurities perceived by professionals and difficulties in their ability to provide services, changes in their attitudes and behaviors when they perceive that they are losing their role as experts, lack of knowledge and application of specific practices, and lack of skills needed to engage primary caregivers in natural settings. These findings should inform policy implementation at local and state levels in countries where family-centered service is established in early childhood programs.

HIV testing services and HIV self-testing programming within emergency care in Kenya: a qualitative study of healthcare personnel to inform enhanced service delivery approaches

ABSTRACT In Kenya, persons insufficiently engaged in HIV Testing Services (HTS) are often treated in emergency departments (ED). There are limited data from healthcare workers on ED-HTS. A qualitative study was completed to understand challenges and facilitators for ED-HTS and HIV self-testing (HIVST). Data were collected via six focus groups of healthcare workers. Data were inductively analyzed and mapped to the Capability–Opportunity–Motivation Behavioral Model. Focus groups were completed with 49 healthcare workers: 18 nurses, 15 HIV counselors, 10 physicians and 6 administrators. HTS challenges included staff burdens, resources access, deficiencies in systems integration and illness severity. HTS facilitators included education of healthcare workers and patients, services coordination, and specific follow-up processes. HIVST challenges included accuracy concerns, follow-up barriers and psychosocial risks. HIVST facilitators were patient autonomy and confidentiality, resource utilization and ability to reach higher-risk persons. Mapping to the Capability–Opportunity–Motivation Behavioral Model interventions within the domains of knowledge, decision processes, environmental aspects, social influences and professional identities could support enhanced ED-HTS with integrated HIVST delivery. This study provided insights into challenges and facilitators on ED-HTS and identifies pragmatic approaches to improve healthcare workers’ behaviors and abilities to provide services to persons already in contact with healthcare.

Experiences and challenges of refugees from Ukraine in accessing healthcare and social services during their integration in Lithuania.

The influx of Ukrainian refugees to Lithuania due to the ongoing conflict has created substantial challenges in healthcare and social services. To identify the key challenges faced by Ukrainian refugees in accessing healthcare and social services in Lithuania. A qualitative study was conducted using semi-structured interviews with 22 Russian-speaking female Ukrainian refugees residing in various regions of Lithuania. Data were collected between July and October 2022 and analyzed using inductive qualitative content analysis to identify key themes related to healthcare access, social services, and integration. Refugees reported significant barriers, including language difficulties, long waiting times for healthcare services, and inconsistent access to social services, particularly in smaller municipalities. Despite access to free healthcare, the quality and timeliness of services were often inadequate, exacerbating challenges for those with pre-existing health conditions. Psychological support services were underutilized, and language barriers impeded access to both healthcare and employment opportunities. Coordination between social and healthcare services was lacking, creating further difficulties for refugees in navigating essential services. While Lithuanian authorities have provided critical support, significant gaps remain in healthcare access and social service coordination. Urgent improvements are needed in language support, psychological care, and healthcare accessibility, particularly in smaller municipalities. These findings highlight the need for targeted policies to address these challenges and ensure equitable access to services for all refugees. Future research should include more diverse refugee populations to guide comprehensive policy development.

Taking what you get or Getting what you Need: A Qualitative Study on Experiences with Mental Health and Welfare Services in Long-Term Recovery in First-Episode Psychosis.

How people in long-term recovery (clinical and personal) in first-episode psychosis (schizophrenia and bipolar spectrum disorders) experience the mental health and welfare services they interact with is not frequently studied but has significant implications. We therefore aimed to explore which aspects of these services people with FEP evaluate as important for their long-term recovery. Twenty participants in clinical and/or personal recovery from two Norwegian long-term follow-up studies after FEP (TOP 10-year and TIPS 20-year) were sampled for this interview-based qualitative study. The research-team included service user experience. A deductive analysis based on personal accounts of recovery generated five service aspects. Few specific types of interventions were reported to promote recovery although medications, psychotherapy and employment support were mentioned. Participants valued services based in collaboration and that focused on their resources rather than limitations. The importance of long-term follow-up with a consistent aim was highlighted, as was the inclusion of caregivers and peers. Welfare services contributed to recovery by supporting basic needs and safety, but some experienced social exclusion when not participating in the labor market. This study is unique in exploring the role of services, including welfare, in long-term FEP recovery from service user perspectives. Participants evaluated that services played a more indirect role in long-term recovery by supporting their personal resources, although what they needed from services had frequently not been offered. Their expertise by experience contributes valuable knowledge. Better service coordination and consistent implementation of this knowledge are crucial to support recovery in FEP.

Does Hospital–Physician Integration Improve Hospital Performance? Results from a USA Longitudinal Study

In a dynamic healthcare industry, aligning the goals and objectives of hospitals and physicians through integration has been suggested to influence performance. Physicians’ leadership and active involvement in governance can direct resource usage, Electronic Health Record (EHR) implementation, price negotiation, better coordination, and continuity of services for patients, thus affecting performance. This study aimed to examine the relationship between physician integration and hospital performance, investigating both financial and quality outcomes. We used a longitudinal study design. Our sample was hospital-level data from 2014 to 2019, which contained 6000 U.S. hospital-year observations. The dependent variables were quality outcomes (readmission rates) and financial outcomes (total and operating margins). The independent variable explored three dimensions of integration: high, low, and overall integration. Findings showed no impact of hospital–physician integration on quality outcomes and financial performance. High-integration hospitals did not show any significant relationships with quality outcomes and financial performance compared to hospitals that did not have high integration. Hospital–physician integration may have little potential to bring clinical integration even though vertical integration is present. A commitment to improving quality as a strategic priority may be vital in impacting quality outcomes, followed by financial performance.

Effort to Optimize Learning Physics at Integrated Islamic High School via a Physics based Ethnoscience Approach

The aim of community service program is to enhance the educational experience at the integrated Islamic high school (SMA IT Khairu Ummah) Rejang Lebong district by employing an ethnoscience approach. The service program is implemented in SMA IT Khairu Ummah to address challenges posed by inadequate learning facilities and infrastructure, particularly in physics education, which may impede the teaching and learning process. The implementation of community service initiatives in 2024 comprises four phases. The first phase encompasses observational efforts within schools to acquire a comprehensive picture of the educational environment. The second phase involves the socialization of service activities and coordination with school principal and educators, particularly those teaching physics. The third phase entailed instructing educators on the development of ethnoscience-focused educational resources. The last phase entails regular assessment and guidance involving two Mahasiswa Kampus Merdeka Belajar program and five physics lecturers to guarantee that the community service program positively influences the learning process. The findings indicate that the training positively enhances teacher competencies by implementing ethnoscience education that leverages the local community's cultural and traditional diversity, even amidst constraints of limited facilities and infrastructure. Physics teacher and students of SMA IT Khairu Ummah SMA IT have implemented an ethnoscience-based physics approach that is effective in enhancing students' comprehension of scientific processes and their acquisition of related skills.

Cross-sector collaboration to reduce health inequalities: a qualitative study of local collaboration between health care, social services, and other sectors under health system reforms in England

BackgroundPolicymakers across countries promote cross-sector collaboration as a route to improving health and health equity. In England, major health system reforms in 2022 established 42 integrated care systems (ICSs)—area-based partnerships between health care, social care, public health, and other sectors—to plan and coordinate local services. ICSs cover the whole of England and have been given explicit policy objectives to reduce health inequalities, alongside other national priorities.MethodsWe used qualitative methods to understand how local health care and social services organizations are collaborating to reduce health inequalities under England’s reforms. We conducted in-depth interviews between August and December 2022—soon after the reforms were implemented—with 32 senior leaders from NHS, social care, public health, and community-based organizations in three ICSs experiencing high levels of socioeconomic deprivation. We used a framework based on international evidence on cross-sector collaboration to help analyse the data.ResultsLeaders described strong commitment to working together to reduce health inequalities, but faced a combination of conceptual, cultural, capacity, and other challenges in doing so. A mix of factors shaped local collaboration—from how national policy aims are defined and understood, to the resources and relationships among local organizations to deliver them. These factors interact and have varying influence. The national policy context played a dominant role in shaping local collaboration experiences—frequently making it harder not easier. Organizational restructuring to establish ICSs also caused major disruption, with unintended effects on the partnership working it aimed to promote.ConclusionsThe major influences on cross-sector collaboration in England mirror key areas identified in international research, offering opportunities for learning between countries. But our data highlight the pervasive—frequently perverse—influence of national policy on local collaboration in England. National policymakers risked undermining their own reforms. Closer alignment between policy, process, and resources to reduce health inequalities is likely needed to avoid policy failure as ICSs evolve.

Utilizing Machine Learning for Intelligent Data Management in Event-Driven Microservices Architectures

The following research paper is a case study of three specific machine learning algorithms, LSTM networks, GBMs and RL for managing data in event-driven microservices architectures. This work assesses the performance of these algorithms using factors including anomaly detection, resource consumption prediction, and service coordination concerning such challenges as anomalies. LSTM networks was used in assessment of the anomalous patterns with accuracy reaching 92%, and false positive rate of 5%. The ability of the GBMs was evaluated for its capacity to accurately predict resource requirements, and in turn, minimize resource over-commitment and under-commitment that occurred, achieving 89% accuracy, with a percentage variation of 18% and 14% accordingly. The RL algorithms proved their potential to enhance the decision-making process governing the orchestration of services and failure recovery with the decision-makers achieving 22% increase in decision making accuracy and failure recovery time was reduced to 4. 5 minutes. These algorithms are discussed separately in the next sections with reference to their applications in intelligent data management in business event processing system. These findings are useful to improve the application of these machine learning techniques to increase the performance, utilization of resources and reliability of the system.

Evaluation of Home Healthcare Services By Service Providers and Users

Background: On May 15, 2017, the Turkish Ministry of Health transferred the coordination and delivery of home healthcare services from primary healthcare facilities to hospitals. Objective:This study aims to find out what the patients, their families, and home healthcare providers think about this organizational change that has been made to the service delivery process. Methods: In the quantitative research, the survey created using the results of qualitative research was administered to 396 individuals, comprising 322 patients or their relatives and 74 medical staff members. The survey's reliability was assessed using Cronbach's alpha coefficient, its validity was assessed using exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, and the t-test was used to test the hypotheses. Results: Following the transfer of home health service delivery and coordination from primary healthcare institutions to hospitals, it was found that visit frequency-satisfaction, equity, monitoring-evaluation, and socio-economic support were the dimensions in which patients and their relatives participated more than healthcare personnel. However, compared to patients or patient relatives, healthcare personnel participate more in the areas of access to services, personnel-financial support, and private sector-security support. Conclusions: According to these findings, it is noteworthy that both groups have a much higher level of participation in issues that directly concern them. Thus, it is believed that improving the problems that clients and staff find objectionable will enhance home health services. Keywords: Home care; healthcare providers; healthcare users; primary healthcare; hospitals

Interfacility Patient Transfers During COVID-19 Pandemic: Mixed-Methods Study.

The United States lacks a national interfacility patient transfer coordination system. During the coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, many hospitals were overwhelmed and faced difficulties transferring sick patients, leading some states and cities to form transfer centers intended to assist sending facilities. In this study we aimed to explore clinician experiences with newly implemented transfer coordination centers. This mixed-methods study used a brief national survey along with in-depth interviews. The American College of Emergency Physicians Emergency Medicine Practice Research Network (EMPRN) administered the national survey in March 2021. From September-December 2021, semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted with administrators and rural emergency clinicians in Arizona and New Mexico, two states that started transfer centers during COVID-19. Among 141 respondents (of 765, 18.4% response rate) to the national EMPRN survey, only 30% reported implementation or expansion of a transfer coordination center during COVID-19. Those with new transfer centers reported no change in difficulty of patient transfers during COVID-19 while those without had increased difficulty. The 17 qualitative interviews expanded upon this, revealing four major themes: 1)limited resources for facilitating transfers even before COVID-19; 2)increased number of and distance to transfer partners during the COVID-19 pandemic; 3)generally positive impacts of transfer centers on workflow, and 4)the potential for continued use of centers to facilitate transfers. Transfer centers may have offset pandemic-related transfer challenges brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. Clinicians who frequently need to transfer patients may particularly benefit from ongoing access to such transfer coordination services.

The Role of Multidisciplinary Rehabilitation in Enhancing Comprehensive Cancer Care: A Descriptive Review

Objective: This review aims to highlight the effectiveness of various forms of cancer rehabilitation in improving physical, emotional, and social outcomes for patients with cancer. It evaluates the impact of cancer rehabilitation on physical function, psychological health, and social reintegration while identifying barriers and facilitators in the implementation of cancer rehabilitation programs. Methods: A literature search was conducted from December 2023 to February 2024, using two electronic databases: MEDLINE (via PubMed) and Google Scholar. After screening the titles and abstracts, the study selected 34 articles, including RCTs, clinical trials, observational studies, and systematic reviews. The study did not include letters to the editor, editorials, special and short communications, animal-based research, and non-English language publications. There were no restrictions on geographical distribution, age of the sample population, type, severity, duration, and outcome of cancer, or the year range from which the studies were selected. Results: Rehabilitation interventions were effective in different cancer types, including breast, prostate, lung, and colorectal cancers. These interventions addressed common treatment-related challenges such as fatigue, pain, lymphedema, incontinence, and psychological issues, improving patients' quality of life and physical functioning. However, challenges such as physical limitations, emotional distress, access to care, financial barriers, and coordination of services were frequently noted. This highlights the need for tailored, accessible, and well-coordinated rehabilitation programs. Conclusion: Multidisciplinary and coordinated cancer rehabilitation has the potential to improve mobility, quality of life and physical functioning across various cancer types, but challenges in accessibility and coordination must be addressed.
