Widespread challenges to mental well-being among nurses and healthcare professionals threaten the productivity and quality of healthcare. Digital solutions may prove to effectively support nurses' and healthcare professionals' mental well-being.
To synthesise evidence regarding the effectiveness of digital solutions in improving nurses' and healthcare professionals' mental well-being.
This systematic review followed the JBI guidance for systematic reviews of effectiveness. The PubMed, CINAHL, Scopus, Pro-Quest and APA PsycArticles databases were reviewed for randomised controlled trials and quasi-experimental studies published at any point prior to the 26th of October 2021. Meta-analysis and narrative synthesis were performed.
Fourteen studies were included. Personal mental well-being solutions significantly improved nurses' and healthcare professionals' mental well-being. The effectiveness of work-related digital solutions could not be demonstrated. The meta-analysis revealed little to no effect on professionals' work engagement.
Personal digital solutions may have the potential to improve the mental well-being of nurses and healthcare professionals. With the support of nurse managers' facilitation, nurses have a key role to promote their own mental well-being by utilising digital mental health solutions. Nevertheless, further adequately powered, well-designed research is required.
护士和医疗保健专业人员心理健康面临的广泛挑战威胁着医疗保健的生产力和质量。数字解决方案可能被证明能有效支持护士和医疗保健专业人员的心理健康。
综合关于数字解决方案在改善护士和医疗保健专业人员心理健康方面有效性的证据。
本系统评价遵循JBI有效性系统评价指南。检索了PubMed、CINAHL、Scopus、Pro-Quest和APA PsycArticles数据库,以查找2021年10月26日之前任何时间发表的随机对照试验和准实验研究。进行了荟萃分析和叙述性综合分析。
纳入了14项研究。个人心理健康解决方案显著改善了护士和医疗保健专业人员的心理健康。与工作相关的数字解决方案的有效性未能得到证实。荟萃分析显示对专业人员的工作投入几乎没有影响。
个人数字解决方案可能有潜力改善护士和医疗保健专业人员的心理健康。在护士长的协助支持下,护士在利用数字心理健康解决方案促进自身心理健康方面起着关键作用。然而,仍需要进一步开展有足够样本量、设计良好的研究。
