Özcan, Handan; Çuvadar, Ayşe; Uzun, Sevda
Aim: This study aimed to determine the effect of psychotherapeutic interventions on pain, quality of life and health profile in women diagnosed with endometriosis. Methods: For this systematic review and meta-analysis study, studies were obtained by searching PubMed, Web of Science, EBSCOhost, Google Scholar, and YÖK Thesis Center databases between August and October 2024 without any year limitation. After the review, 10 studies were included in the study. The data were synthesized by meta-analysis and narrative methods. Results: In this systematic review and meta-analysis, psychotherapeutic interventions for the treatment and management of endometriosis were found to be effective on quality of life (SMD = 0.515, 95% CI = 0.035 to 0.995; Z = 2.104, I2 = 67.523%, p < 0.05), pain (SMD = − 0.454, 95% CI = − 1.600 to − 0.179; Z = − 1.566, I2 = 84.463, p > 0.05), and health profile (SMD = 0.041, 95% CI = − 0.363 to 0.281; Z = − 0.250759, I2 = 56.876%, p > 0.05). In subgroup analyses, it was determined that the types of psychotherapeutic interventions were not effective, but the number of sessions was effective. Conclusion: Psychotherapeutic interventions to reduce symptoms in endometriosis are effective in improving quality of life but not pain and health profile.

Uzun, Sevda; Emirza, Elif Güzide; Gülırmak Güler, Kübra
Background: Nurses are among the most interactive professionals in society, providing both care and psychosocial and psychotherapeutic interventions for individuals with mental health issues. Nurse-centred approaches have demonstrated a positive impact on addressing mental health issues. Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of psychosocial and psychotherapeutic interventions administered by nurses in managing mental health issues. Methods: For this meta-analysis, data were gathered through a comprehensive search of databases, including PubMed, Web of Science, EBSCOhost, Google Scholar and the YÖK Thesis Center, with no restrictions on publication year. Following the review process, a total of 25 studies were included in the analysis. The PRISMA checklist was employed to guide our study. Results: The meta-analysis revealed that interventions implemented by nurses in the context of mental health were effective. Specifically, the psychosocial and psychotherapeutic interventions significantly reduced depression levels in individuals (SMD: −0.918, 95% CI: −1.350 to −0.486; Z = −4.161; p < 0.05) and anxiety levels (SMD: −0.61, 95% CI: −1.190 to −0.029; Z = −2.59; p < 0.05). Additionally, these interventions were associated with an improvement in individuals' quality of life (SMD: 0.673, 95% CI: 0.303–1.403; Z = 3.56; p < 0.05). Conclusion: Nurses can play a pivotal role in addressing mental health issues, effectively contributing to the reduction of anxiety and depression levels while enhancing the overall quality of life for individuals.

Emirza, Elif Güzide; Uzun, Sevda
This study aimed to reveal the level of effect of psychotherapeutic interventions on post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms, depression, and self-esteem in women who had been exposed to violence. For this systematic review and meta-analysis study, PubMed, Web of Science, EBSCOhost, Google Scholar, and YÖK Thesis Center databases were searched without any year limitation in August-December 2022, and 28 studies were included. The data were synthesized using meta-analysis and narrative methods. This systematic review and meta-analysis found that psychotherapeutic interventions for women exposed to violence were effective on post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms in individuals (SMD: -0,590, %95 CI: -0,893- 0.196; Z= -2,937, p = 0.003, I2= %93,59). Psychotherapeutic interventions had a significant effect on women’s depression levels in favor of the intervention group, and there was high heterogeneity between the studies (SMD: -0,475, %95 CI: -0,838- 0.113; Z= -2,569, p = 0.010, I2= %90,68). Subgroup analyses showed that cognitive behavioral therapy was effective in the treatment of intimate partner violence. It was also found that psychotherapeutic interventions did not affect women’s self-esteem levels. Psychotherapeutic therapies for women who have experienced violence have a favorable impact on them and improve their mental health.

Semerci, Murat; Uzun, Sevda
Objective: This study aimed to determine the level of impact of post-disaster psychotherapeutic interventions. Material method: For this systematic review and meta-analysis study, the studies were accessed through the databases of PubMed, Web of Science, EBSCOhost, Google Scholar, and YÖK Thesis Center in July-September 2022 without any year limitation. As a result of the examinations, 27 studies were included in the study. The data were synthesized by meta-analysis and narrative methods. Results: According to the results of this systematic review and meta-analysis, post-disaster psychotherapeutic interventions were found to be effective (SMD:−0838, %95 CI: −1,087- 0.588; Z = −6588, p = 0.000, I2 = %95,249). Individuals who have undergone psychotherapeutic interventions experience either no or fewer post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms. The country/continent of the research, the types of psychotherapeutic interventions, the type of disaster, and the measurement tool used influence the effectiveness of the psychotherapeutic interventions. Psychotherapeutic interventions applied especially after earthquakes, one of the types of disasters, were found to be effective. In addition, EMDR, cognitive behavioral therapy, psychotherapy, and exposure method were found to reduce posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms in individuals in the post-disaster period. Conclusion: Post-disaster psychotherapeutic interventions have positive impacts on people and improve their mental health.
