Abstract
Background: Evidence suggests that financial crises and poor mental health are reciprocally related, but no systematic review has been conducted to synthesise the existing literature on the impact of national and international financial crises on population-level mental health and well-being.
Aims: The aim of this study was to systematically review the available literature on the global impact of financial crises on mental health and well-being outcomes.
Methods: After registration on PROSPERO, a systematic search was conducted in PsycINFO, MEDLINE, Wiley, and Web of Science for papers published until 21 November 2022. Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) statement, 98 papers were identified as meeting eligibility criteria. Included studies were assessed using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT) and results were presented in a formal narrative synthesis.
Results: Our findings show that financial crises are significantly associated with well-being and occurrence of psychological conditions. Several socio-demographic, cultural, and country-specific characteristics played a crucial role in the prevention of population mental health decline in periods of financial crises.
Conclusions: Based on the findings of this review, evidence-based recommendations were developed to guide the design of policy actions that protect population mental health during and after financial crises.
背景:有证据表明,金融危机和心理健康状况不佳是相互关联的,但尚未对现有关于国家和国际金融危机对人口心理健康和幸福感影响的文献进行系统综述。目的:本研究的目的是系统综述现有关于金融危机对全球心理健康和福祉结果影响的文献。方法:在PROSPERO上注册后,在PsycINFO、MEDLINE、Wiley和Web of Science上对截至2022年11月21日发表的论文进行系统搜索。根据系统评价和荟萃分析的首选报告项目(PRISMA)声明,98篇论文被确定为符合资格标准。纳入的研究使用混合方法评估工具(MMAT)进行评估,结果以正式的叙述综合形式呈现。结果:我们的研究结果表明,金融危机与幸福感和心理状况的发生显著相关。在金融危机时期,一些社会人口、文化和国家特有的特征在预防人口心理健康下降方面发挥了至关重要的作用。结论:根据这项审查的结果,制定了基于证据的建议,以指导在金融危机期间和之后保护人口心理健康的政策行动的设计。
