PURPOSE: To investigate the effects of web-based psychotherapeutic interventions on depression among individuals with mood disorders. METHOD: For this meta-analysis study, data were obtained from October to December 2023 by searching PubMed, Web of Science, EBSCOhost, Google Scholar, and YÖK Thesis Center for articles published in the past 5 years. In the first stage of the search, 12,056 records were obtained. After removing duplicate studies, 4,910 records were considered for title and abstract review. After this evaluation, 139 studies were identified for full-text review. After the review, six studies reporting results on the effectiveness of web-based psychotherapeutic interventions on depression among individuals with mood disorders were ultimately included. RESULTS: Web-based interventions had significant positive effects and provided decreases in depression levels (standardized mean difference = –0.168, 95% confidence interval [–0.315, –0.021]; Z = –2.243; p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Web-based interventions for mood disorders may play an effective role in reducing the burden of chronic mental illness and improving patient outcomes.

Aim: This study was conducted to reveal the effectiveness of telemedicine applications in mental health services. Material method: For this meta-analysis study, data were obtained by searching PubMed, Web of Science, EBSCOhost, Google Scholar, and YÖK Thesis Center databases for the last 5 years in September–December 2023. After the review, 24 studies were included. Findings: In this meta-analysis, it was found that telemedicine interventions in mental health services decreased the depression level of individuals (SMD − 0.168, 95% CI − 0.315 to − 0.021; Z = − 2.243; p <.05). In addition, it was determined that the duration of the intervention played a role in the effectiveness of telemedicine interventions applied to individuals. In addition, it was determined that the type of intervention, the country where the research was conducted, and the patient group did not play a role in the effectiveness of telemedicine interventions applied to individuals. Conclusion: Telemedicine applications in mental health services can play an effective role in reducing the burden of chronic mental illness and improving patient outcomes.
