Mental Health Promotion Through Nursing Interventions Focused on Anxiety, Sleep and Well-Being: A Scoping Review.
Article in International journal of mental health nursing, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Anxiety is more prevalent than other mental disorders and maintains a bidirectional relationship with sleep disturbances, negatively affecting well-being and overall mental health. This scenario underscores the need to strengthen and qualify nursing practice in addressing these outcomes. This study aimed to map how nursing has developed care for adults and older people through interventions related to anxiety, sleep quality and well-being. A scoping review was conducted in accordance with the PRISMA-ScR checklist. Searches were performed between November and December 2025 across 11 data sources: CINAHL, Cochrane Library, LILACS, MEDLINE/PubMed, SciELO, Scopus, EBSCO Open Dissertations, Web of Science, CAPES Catalogue of Theses and Dissertations, ScienceDirect and Google Scholar, in addition to reference list screening. Sixty-four studies were included. Although the search covered the period from 2010 to 2025, eligible publications were identified between 2011 and 2025, predominantly clinical trials conducted in Iran and Turkey. Thirty-one occurrences of interventions were identified, representing different modes of application of a smaller set of nursing-implementable strategies targeting anxiety, sleep and well-being. Integrative and complementary therapies predominated, including aromatherapy, music therapy, reflexology, acupressure, therapeutic touch, massage, relaxation techniques, Reiki and yoga. Other interventions comprised spiritual support, environmental adjustments (lighting, noise, temperature control), guided imagery, group counselling and self-care programmes, reinforcing nursing's holistic approach. Sleep quality was the most investigated outcome, mainly through environmental control during hospitalisation. However, considering sleep, well-being and anxiety, multicentre studies, further investigation into spirituality and the nursing process and research prioritising well-being and anxiety disorders as primary outcomes are still needed.
