Effectiveness of nurse-led interventions on psychological well-being among older adults: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract

Advancements in medical care have led to increased life expectancy, resulting in a growing older adult population facing challenges to their well-being. This study aims to systematically review the effectiveness of nurse-led interventions on the psychological well-being of older adults. A comprehensive review of studies from 2010 to 2024 found that these interventions significantly reduced depression, stress and anxiety, while improving self-esteem. The findings suggest that integrating nurse-led interventions into routine care could be beneficial for older adults. Future research should focus on standardizing these interventions and assessing their long-term impact.
