Effectiveness of motivational messages on nurses' professional quality of life: a systematic review.

OBJECTIVES

To assess the efficacy of motivational messages on nurses' professional quality of life and well-being.

DESIGN

The present systematic review was conducted according to the guidelines of Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses, a widely accepted framework for conducting systematic reviews. The researchers used specific keywords to search for eligible studies in several databases. This review covered articles written in English and published between the years 2014 and 2024. Eventually, five articles were included in this review study; in particular, four articles were trial studies and one was a cross-sectional study. The risk of bias and risk of methodological quality of the included studies were assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal methods.

RESULTS

The results of the review demonstrate how motivational messages may be an effective strategy for reducing work-related stress among healthcare employees.

CONCLUSION

By using technological platforms and employing motivational messages during regular work tasks, healthcare organisations may foster a positive work environment which, in turn, promotes nurses' resilience and enhances their well-being.
