Abstract

The pursuit of a doctoral degree is a challenging process that can have a negative impact on the wellbeing of PhD students. Therefore, the aim here is to offer a systematic review of the current state of the literature on wellbeing among PhD students and the variables it involves in order to build an integrative model that will enrich future research. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta‐Analyses (PRISMA) methodology for systematic reviews has been used to lay out the process in a flow diagram. We systematically review studies up to 2021 (N = 38) published on the Web of Science and SCOPUS databases. The results show the current state of the literature on wellbeing in PhD students, the characteristics of the studies (location, study design, and sample), how the literature defines the concept, the variables involved, the study limitations, and future perspectives to improve the quality of life of doctoral students. Finally, a comprehensive approach to the topic is presented in an integrative model that encompasses all variables identified in the literature and offers a guide for future research.

对博士生福祉的系统审查和综合方法

攻读博士学位是一个充满挑战的过程，可能会对博士生的幸福感产生负面影响。因此，本文旨在对有关博士生幸福感及其相关变量的文献现状进行系统性回顾，以建立一个综合模型，丰富未来的研究。我们采用了系统性综述和元分析的首选报告项目（PRISMA）方法，以流程图的形式列出了综述过程。我们系统回顾了截至 2021 年（N = 38）发表在 Web of Science 和 SCOPUS 数据库上的研究。结果显示了有关博士生幸福感的文献现状、研究特点（地点、研究设计和样本）、文献如何定义这一概念、涉及的变量、研究局限性以及提高博士生生活质量的未来展望。最后，通过一个包含文献中确定的所有变量并为未来研究提供指导的综合模型，对该主题提出了一个全面的方法。
