Evidence suggests that financial crises and poor mental health are reciprocally related, but no systematic review has been conducted to synthesise the existing literature on the impact of national and international financial crises on population-level mental health and well-being.
The aim of this study was to systematically review the available literature on the global impact of financial crises on mental health and well-being outcomes.
After registration on PROSPERO, a systematic search was conducted in PsycINFO, MEDLINE, Wiley, and Web of Science for papers published until 21 November 2022. Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) statement, 98 papers were identified as meeting eligibility criteria. Included studies were assessed using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT) and results were presented in a formal narrative synthesis.
Our findings show that financial crises are significantly associated with well-being and occurrence of psychological conditions. Several socio-demographic, cultural, and country-specific characteristics played a crucial role in the prevention of population mental health decline in periods of financial crises.
Based on the findings of this review, evidence-based recommendations were developed to guide the design of policy actions that protect population mental health during and after financial crises.
有证据表明，金融危机和心理健康不佳是相互关联的，但尚未有系统评价对国家和国际金融危机对人群心理健康和幸福感的影响进行综合分析。
本研究旨在系统评价现有关于金融危机对心理健康和幸福感结果的全球影响的文献。
在 PROSPERO 上注册后，在 PsycINFO、MEDLINE、Wiley 和 Web of Science 中进行了系统搜索，以查找截至 2022 年 11 月 21 日发表的论文。根据系统评价和荟萃分析的首选报告项目 (PRISMA) 声明，确定了 98 篇符合资格标准的论文。使用混合方法评估工具 (MMAT) 评估纳入的研究，并以正式的叙述性综合形式呈现结果。
我们的研究结果表明，金融危机与幸福感和心理状况的发生显著相关。一些社会人口学、文化和国家特定特征在金融危机期间预防人群心理健康下降方面发挥了关键作用。
根据本综述的研究结果，制定了循证建议，以指导在金融危机期间和之后保护人群心理健康的政策行动的设计。
