Over the last decades, a gradual increase in prevailing mental disorders in the adult population has been observed all over the world. Global estimates of anxiety, stress, depression, and mood disorders prevalence have also been high. Employed women are susceptible to experiencing some symptoms or mental disorders due to their lifestyle or working conditions. The objective of this study is to find effective interventions based on the workplace to improve the mental health of employed women. This systematic review was conducted by following PRISMA guidelines to report systematic reviews. The papers in Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, and Google Scholar for English and SID, Magiran, and Irandoc for Persian resources were searched from 2005 to 2023. To include the final study, 15 papers were eligible to be selected. The findings of this study show that giving interventions to improve the mental health of employed women is hopeful and employers may promote their mental health through performing low-cost and effective intervention programs such as setting up supportive training groups' sessions and group exercises. The outcomes of performing this study may help to increase our knowledge concerning the necessity of giving effective health interventions to women in the workplace and to consider the shortage of giving such interventions. Therefore, giving the interventions is recommended aiming at the health and welfare improvement of employed women.
在过去几十年里,全世界成年人口中普遍存在的精神障碍呈逐渐上升趋势。全球对焦虑、压力、抑郁和情绪障碍患病率的估计也很高。职业女性由于其生活方式或工作条件,容易出现一些症状或精神障碍。本研究的目的是寻找基于工作场所的有效干预措施,以改善职业女性的心理健康。本系统评价遵循PRISMA指南进行报告。检索了2005年至2023年Web of Science、Scopus、PubMed和Google Scholar数据库中的英文文献,以及SID、Magiran和Irandoc数据库中的波斯文文献。最终纳入15篇符合条件的研究论文。本研究结果表明,采取干预措施改善职业女性的心理健康是有希望的,雇主可以通过开展低成本且有效的干预项目来促进她们的心理健康,比如设立支持性培训小组课程和团体锻炼。开展本研究的结果可能有助于增加我们对在工作场所为女性提供有效健康干预措施的必要性的认识,并考虑到此类干预措施的匮乏。因此,建议采取干预措施,以改善职业女性的健康和福利。
