Systematic review shows interventions improve resilience and well-being in youth, indicating the importance of targeted programs.
The study aimed to analyze and evaluate interventions for improving resilience and/or well-being of youth incarcerated. A systematic literature review was conducted using the PICO approach, PRISMA protocol, and narrative synthesis. From 5962 articles, 26 met the inclusion criteria. Of these, six interventions enhanced resilience, while 18 improved well-being. The Expressive Writing Intervention (WRITE ON) demonstrated strong effectiveness for resilience, whereas Group Therapy and the Violence-Prevention Program showed notable benefits for well-being. Each intervention revealed strengths and limitations based on research and implementation evaluations. Although valuable insights were gained, the study could not provide conclusive evidence regarding overall adequacy.
