Abstract

Background: 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.

Aim: To synthesise evidence regarding the effectiveness of digital solutions in improving nurses' and healthcare professionals' mental well-being.

Methods: 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.

Results: 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.

Conclusions: 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.

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的有效性：系统回顾和荟萃分析。

背景：护士和医疗保健专业人员普遍面临的心理健康挑战威胁着医疗保健的生产率和质量。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。目的：综合有关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：本系统综述遵循 JBI 的有效性系统综述指南。我们在 PubMed、CINAHL、Scopus、Pro-Quest 和 APA PsycArticles 数据库中检索了 2021 年 10 月 26 日之前发表的随机对照试验和准实验研究。进行了元分析和叙述性综合：结果：共纳入 14 项研究。个人心理健康解决方案极大地改善了护士和医护人员的心理健康。与工作相关的数字解决方案的有效性则无法证实。荟萃分析表明，对专业人员的工作参与度几乎没有影响：个人数字解决方案有可能改善护士和医疗保健专业人员的心理健康。在护士管理者的协助下，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发挥着关键作用。不过，还需要进一步开展有充分依据、设计合理的研究。
