Nursing interventions to reduce mental health problems in nursing students: a scoping review

Mapping Nursing Interventions to Improve Mental Health Among Nursing Students: A Scoping Review from Universitas Padjadjaran

Mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression, and burnout are increasingly prevalent among nursing students due to academic pressures and clinical demands. A recent scoping review led by Iyus Yosep,S.Kp.,M.Si.,M.Sc.Ph.D., and colleagues highlights effective nursing interventions that can help reduce these mental health problems.

Published in BMC Nursing (2025), this comprehensive review analyzed 12 studies focusing on interventions like peer support programs, coping skills training, and mindfulness-based therapies. The findings reveal that such approaches promote psychological well-being by enhancing social support and skill development, underlining the importance of a holistic care model for nursing students.

This research is a significant step toward improving nursing education and student well-being, aligning with Sustainable Development Goal 3, Good Health and Well-being.
