Although previous research highlights the positive outcomes of achieving the state of flow in various contexts, its connection to academic engagement remains relatively less explored. This narrative review article seeks to bridge this gap by synthesizing existing literature to examine the conceptual overlaps and underlying principles between the state of flow and academic engagement. A total of 15 studies were included based on the following criteria: studies on flow and engagement published in English between 1973 and 2021 with a QualSyst score above 0.60. Drawing from the review, we present a conceptual framework delineating the probable conditions for achieving a state of flow to boost academic involvement, bolster student well-being, and foster academic success. It comprises factors such as having clear, well-defined goals and providing prompt feedback; each condition has a significant impact on students' learning outcomes because of its direct effect on their sense of autonomy, control, and concentration. The implications and insights for educators in guiding students through challenging academic tasks to enhance engagement and well-being were discussed.</p>","PeriodicalId":13534,"journal":{"name":"Industrial Psychiatry Journal","volume":"35 1","pages":"25-36"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12923214/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147270733","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Allergic and hypersensitivity disorders are increasingly recognized for their chronic relapsing-remitting course and have been associated with alexithymia, yet the prevalence and extent of this association remain unclear. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to synthesize existing literature to determine the prevalence of alexithymia among individuals with allergies and hypersensitivity. A comprehensive search of major electronic databases (Cochrane, PubMed, ScienceDirect, and SCOPUS) was conducted on date February 2, 2023 of published studies till January 2023. Studies reporting on the prevalence of alexithymia in individuals diagnosed with allergic rhinitis, asthma, food allergies, and other hypersensitivity disorders were included. Quality assessment was performed using standardized tools, and meta-analysis was conducted to estimate pooled prevalence rates with 95% confidence intervals (CI). A total of 19 studies with a total of 2459 observations were included, with allergy or hypersensitivity disorders and alexithymia. The pooled prevalence of alexithymia among individuals with allergies was found to be 35.26% (95% CI: 27.86%-43.45%) with significant heterogeneity. Subgroup analyses showed a higher prevalence of alexithymia in dermatological conditions as compared to respiratory and gastrointestinal allergic conditions. Prevalence was highest for atopic dermatitis at 62.38% (55.50; 68.78) followed by other allergic conditions. There exists a considerable prevalence of alexithymia among individuals with allergy and hypersensitivity disorders. The findings are relevant while considering alexithymia in the clinical management of these conditions, potentially informing personalized treatment approaches and psychosocial interventions.
