Effects of psychosocial interventions on wellbeing in individuals with severe mental illness: a systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Wellbeing, encompassing hedonic and/or eudaimonic components, provides a two-dimensional framework for evaluating the effects of psychosocial interventions for individuals with severe mental illness (SMI). This study investigates how this conceptualization of wellbeing is reflected in existing research on psychosocial interventions for people with SMI. This is the first systematic review to assess the effects of psychosocial interventions on wellbeing as a purely positive phenomenon in this population. The study was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42024598954).

Method

A systematic review was conducted on intervention studies involving adults with SMI receiving psychosocial interventions in an out-patient setting, with a control condition and a wellbeing outcome align
