Non-Pharmacological interventions for psychological stress reactions in disaster nursing rescue workers: a scoping review.
Article in BMC nursing, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundDisasters exert a significant negative impact on the mental health of medical staff. Although many non-pharmacological interventions exist, there currently is a lack of literature that systematically summarizes these interventions. Therefore, this study aims to review existing literature on the use of non-pharmacological interventions to address psychological stress reactions in disaster nursing rescue workers.
methodsThis study was guided by the methodological framework proposed by Arksey and O'Malley. A systematic search was conducted from the inception to January 19, 2025 in the Web of Science, PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, CINAHL, APA PsycInfo, CNKI, WanFang Data, VIP, and CBM databases. The protocol for this review has been registered on OSF, with the DOI: https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/X6YPF .
resultsThe initial databases searches yielded 7308 articles. A total of 18 studies were included, of which 11 were randomized controlled trials and 7 were quasi-experimental studies. There are four types of non-pharmacological interventions: (1) Mindfulness and mind-body exercise interventions, (2) Psychological adaptation and emotion regulation interventions, (3) Digital cognitive-behavioral interventions, (4) Exercise and time management interventions. Outcome indicators are symptoms of psychological stress response, including anxiety, depression, terror, stress, burnout, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), fatigue, insomnia, and these studies also assessed wellbeing, resilience, and self-compassion.
conclusionsNon-pharmacological interventions have been effective in reducing psychological stress responses in disaster nursing rescue workers. In the future, targeted intervention plans should be tailored to the specific mental health issues of rescue workers, and their effectiveness and cost-efficiency need to be further evaluated through large-sample, multi-center, and diversified research designs. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
