Abstract
The presence of anxiety and depression symptoms in patients with lupus is common, and some research reports that psychological interventions can reduce them, therefore we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of the efficacy of psychological interventions in adults with systemic lupus erythematosus. Randomized and non-randomized clinical trials with adult population diagnosed with lupus, treated with psychological intervention, and compared with similar groups were selected. Several databases were searched in July 2023. Fourteen studies were included in the meta-analysis, with moderate effect sizes for anxiety and depression in group intervention modalities. Factors such as percentage of sample with lupus, gender, medication, and interventions with relaxation components influenced the results. Group psychological intervention programs are effective in reducing symptoms in patients with lupus, although further research on treatment modulating variables is needed.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
