Objectives: To evaluate the effects of psychosocial interventions on sexual function, quality of life, and stress levels in women with gynecologic cancer. Methods: This systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted in accordance with the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. PubMed, Web of Science, EBSCOhost, Google Scholar, and the YÖK Thesis Center were searched between June and July 2024 without year restriction. Randomized controlled and quasi-experimental studies evaluating psychosocial interventions were included. Data were synthesized using meta-analysis and narrative synthesis. Outcomes were synthesized separately for sexual function, quality of life, and stress. Results: Seven studies were included in the analysis. Psychosocial interventions significantly improved sexual function (SMD: 0.868; 95% CI: 0.021 to 1.715; Z = 2.008; p = 0.045; I2 = 89.97%) and quality of life (SMD: 0.709; 95% CI: 0.060 to 1.358; Z = 2.142; p = 0.032; I2 = 88.61%) in women with gynecologic cancer. However, psychosocial interventions did not demonstrate a significant effect on stress levels (SMD: − 1.126; 95% CI: − 2.649 to 0.397; Z = − 1.449; p = 0.147; I2 = 95.65%). Conclusion: This systematic review and meta-analysis indicates that psychosocial interventions are associated with improvements in sexual function and quality of life among women with gynecologic cancer, whereas no statistically significant reduction in stress was observed. Although substantial between-study heterogeneity was present, the overall evidence supports the integration of psychosocial approaches into supportive oncology nursing care.

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.

This study was conducted to determine the effects of psychosocial interventions on social functioning and anger levels in forensic psychiatry patients. Data for this meta-analysis study were gathered by searching databases such as PubMed, Web of Science, EBSCOhost, Google Scholar, and YÖK Thesis Center, without any year restriction, from September to December 2023. After a thorough review, 12 studies were deemed appropriate for the analysis. The findings of this meta-analysis indicate that psychosocial treatments administered to forensic psychiatry patients led to an increase in their level of social functioning (SMD: 0.513, 95% CI: 0.072–0.995; Z = 2.280; p <.05) and a decrease in their level of anger (SMD: −0.701, 95% CI: −1.301 to −0.100;Z = −2.287; p <.05). It was also observed that the effectiveness of the psychosocial intervention was not influenced by the type of psychotherapy, the country where the study was conducted, or the duration of the treatment. Psychosocial interventions for forensic psychiatry patients positively affect the mental health of individuals.
