The Efficacy of Nurse-Delivered Psychosocial and Psychotherapeutic Interventions for Individuals With Mental Health Issues: A Meta-Analysis of Randomised Controlled Trials.
Synthesis in Scandinavian journal of caring sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundNurses 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.
aimThis study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of psychosocial and psychotherapeutic interventions administered by nurses in managing mental health issues.
methodsFor 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.
resultsThe 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).
conclusionNurses 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.
