EFFECTIVENESS OF STRESS MANAGEMENT TRAINING PROGRAM: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW OF ITS IMPACT ON PSYCHOLOGICAL WELL BEING OF NURSING OFFICERS
Authors: Gamit N* And Upendrababu V

ABSTRACT
This systematic review synthesizes findings from ten studies conducted between 1983 and 2025 to evaluate the effectiveness of stress management training (SMT) and related interventions on the psychological well-being of nursing officers. The reviewed literature includes experimental, quasi-experimental, qualitative, and systematic review/meta-analytic studies. Most studies report statistically significant improvements in psychological outcomes, including reduced stress, anxiety, depression, and burnout, alongside enhanced coping strategies, resilience, and quality of life. While the findings consistently support the effectiveness of stress management interventions, the review highlights the need for context- specific applications, robust methodologies, and standardized outcome measures to strengthen the evidence base. Keywords: Stress management training program, psychological well – being
