The authors set out to to gather, assess and synthesize current research knowledge on the interventions aiming to improve nurses’ well-being at work. Two of the six interventions were person-directed, two combined person- and organisation-directed and two organisation-directed interventions. Half of them were mainly targeted at stress management while the others aimed at improving interaction with colleagues, work methods and conditions or at supervision of professional skills.
Moderate evidence was found to support the use of interventions among nurses employed at in-patient and out-patient units in four out of the six interventions. The review pointed out a need for research on standardised interventions on nurses’ well-being at work and their effectiveness with long-term follow-ups.
