Summary
Psychological interventions significantly boost nurses
Area of Science:
- Nursing and Healthcare
- Psychology
- Evidence-Based Practice
Background:
- Nurses require support to enhance their resilience.
- Psychological interventions are a potential avenue for resilience support.
Purpose of the Study:
- To determine the effects of psychological interventions on nurses' resilience.
- To identify moderating variables influencing intervention effectiveness.
Main Methods:
- Systematic literature search across 10 databases.
- Meta-analysis of 5 randomized controlled trials and 10 non-randomized controlled trials (852 participants).
- Statistical analysis using RevMan 5.3 and R program; publication bias assessed with funnel plots.
Main Results:
- Psychological interventions effectively improved nurses' resilience immediately post-intervention (SMD = 0.59) and short-term (SMD = 1.52).
- Emotion regulation, relaxation, and self-compassion interventions were most effective.
- Optimal intervention parameters included 121-150 min per session and offline delivery.
Conclusions:
- Psychological interventions offer a valuable tool for enhancing nurse resilience.
- Tailored interventions considering session duration and delivery mode (offline) are recommended.
- Further rigorous randomized controlled trials are needed to strengthen the evidence base.

Psychoneuroimmunology (PNI) is a multidisciplinary field that examines how psychological factors, particularly stress, interact with the immune system and impact physical health. Research in PNI has shown that chronic or traumatic stress can disrupt both the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and the sympathetic nervous system. These disruptions contribute to serious health conditions, including cardiovascular diseases.
