The aim is to assess the effectiveness of nursing interventions on maternal mental health symptoms in NICU settings.
Conducted systematic review and meta-analysis across multiple databases
Included 36 studies evaluating nursing interventions
Analyzed data using standardized mean differences (SMDs) and random effects model
Assessed heterogeneity with I² statistics and evaluated publication bias
Nursing interventions significantly reduced maternal depression (SMD = −0.296, p = 0.002)
Anxiety decreased significantly (SMD = −0.694, p = 0.001)
Stress levels were significantly reduced (SMD = −1.326, p < 0.001)
No significant effect on mother-neonate interaction (SMD = 0.071, p = 0.903)
High heterogeneity observed for stress (I² = 95.0%) and anxiety (I² = 89.2%)
