“…Heterogeneity was significant and high (I 2 = 80.55, Q = 123.40, p < 0.001). Removing one outlier (Guo et al 2016) reduced the effect size (g = 0.21, 95% CI 0.07-0.36, p = 0.004) and heterogeneity was moderate (I 2 = 65.16, Q = 66.01, p = 0.000). When studies with a low quality were excluded, the effect size was no longer significant.…”

The Efficacy of Multi-component Positive Psychology Interventions: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials

et al. 2019

Recently, we see a sharp increase in the number of multi-component positive psychology interventions (MPPIs). The aim of the current study is to examine the efficacy of MPPIs, through a systematic review and meta-analysis. We included 50 randomized controlled trials that were published in 51 articles between 1998 and August 2018. We found standardized mean differences of Hedges' g = 0.34 for subjective well-being, Hedges' g = 0.39 for psychological well-being, indicating small to moderate effects, and Hedges' g = 0.29 for depression, and Hedges' g = 0.35 for anxiety and stress, indicating small effects. Removing outliers led to a considerable decrease in effect sizes for subjective well-being and depression, a slight decrease for psychological well-being, and a strong increase in the effect size for stress. Removing low quality studies led to a considerable decrease in the effect sizes for subjective well-being, psychological well-being, and depression, and a slight decrease for anxiety, but a strong increase for stress. Moderator analyses only showed a significant effect for study quality, showing larger effect sizes for low quality studies compared to studies of moderate and high quality. In addition, a larger effect size for anxiety was found in studies from non-Western countries compared to studies from Western countries. In sum, this systematic review and meta-analysis found evidence for the efficacy of MPPIs in improving mental health. We conclude that MPPIs have a small effect on subjective wellbeing and depression, and a small to moderate effect on psychological well-being. In addition, they may have a small to moderate effect on anxiety and a moderate effect on stress, but definite conclusions of the effects of MPPIs on these outcomes cannot me made due to the limited number of studies. Further well-conducted research among diverse populations is necessary to strengthen claims on the efficacy of MPPIs.

“…Of the 264 participants in our study, 74 completed the intervention. When comparing our findings with the literature, we found that, in fact, there is greater adherence to face-to-face therapies (19)(20)(21)(22)(30)(31) and that most studies that tested interventions to improve mental health over the Internet presented significant losses during the process, ranging from 44.1% to 81.63% (32)(33)(34)(35) .…”

“…Several studies using face-to-face intervention methods that were effective in improving psychic parameters, especially self-esteem, were identified in nursing students (19)(20)(21)(22)30) and university students from other courses (31) . This shows that different strategies can be used to promote mental health in young people with positive results.…”

Objective: to evaluate the impact of the “Strengthening Self-Esteem” intervention proposed by the Nursing Interventions Classification, conducted through the use of Facebook, on the self-esteem and self-efficacy levels of nursing undergraduates. Method: quasi-experimental study carried out in two Higher Education Institutions. The sample consisted of 74 students. Two data collection tools were applied before and after the intervention: Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale and General and Perceived Self-Efficacy Scale. The students were submitted to the intervention for ten sessions. Posts were made in private profile created on Facebook and consisted of positive messages, reflective texts and pictures, all supported by the persuasive resources of Bandura’s theoretical framework. Results: of the 264 students who answered the pretest, 74 (28.03%) participated in the interventions and the post-test. Rosenberg self-esteem (p=0.026) and self-efficacy (p=0.001) scores after the intervention were significantly higher than those obtained before, confirming the effectiveness of the intervention. Conclusion: the “Strengthening Self-Esteem” intervention was effective for improving students’ self-esteem and self-efficacy levels. Such interventions help spread knowledge and build mentally healthier individuals.

“…Most evidence regarding the effectiveness of PPIs comes from studies with non-clinical samples (Bolier et al, 2013;Sin & Lyubomirsky, 2009), but there are some initial studies exploring the effectiveness of PPIs in clinical populations (Chakhssi, Kraiss, Sommers-Spijkerman, & Bohlmeijer, 2018). Studies to date indicate the effectiveness of PPIs when dealing with depression (Carr & Finne-Psychology gan, 2015;, depression comorbid with long-term conditions (Cohn, Pietrucha, Saslow, Hult, & Moskowitz, 2014;D'raven, Moliver, & Thompson, 2015), psychosis (Riches, Schrank, Rashid, & Slade, 2016;Schrank, Brownell, Jakaite, Larkin, Pesola, Riches et al, 2016), schizophrenia (Meyer, Johnson, Parks, Iwanski, & Penn, 2012), suicidality (Huffman, DuBois, Healy, Boehm, Kashdan, Celano et al, 2014), addiction problems (Krentzman, 2013) and with sub-clinical mental health difficulties such as depressive symptoms (Guo, Zhang, Plummer, Lam, Cross, & Zhang, 2017).…”

This pilot study aimed to design a Positive Psychology programme for depression, anxiety or stress and test its effectiveness among Greek Psychology students. Twenty-six participants with severe or very severe symptoms of depression, anxiety or stress were assigned to the intervention and control groups. Participants in the intervention group attended six weekly sessions of the Be Your Best You Programme. All participants completed self-report questionnaires (Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale, Positive and Negative Affect Scale, Satisfaction with Life Scale) when the programme started and on the completion of the six-week intervention programme. The results indicated significant decreases in depression, anxiety, stress, and negative emotions, as well as increases in satisfaction with life among the people who attended the programme. Our findings suggest that a programme consisted of evidence-based Positive Psychology interventions could be offered to people suffering from depression, anxiety or stress to managing their difficulties. Further studies are required in this field to establish Positive Psychology intervention as a treatment of choice.
