Overview

Systematic review and meta-analysis reveal significant stress reduction in university students, highlighting concerns about methodological limitations.

Key Points

  • SMIs effectively reduce stress among university students in LMICs, indicating strong potential for future implementations.
  • The calculated effect size was high at g = −0.85, showing significant positive impact on stress levels after treatment.
  • Systematic review employed comprehensive searches yielding 28 randomized control trials, emphasizing the rigor of the evidence.
  • Despite limitations like small sample sizes and bias risks, findings suggest digital formats of SMIs could enhance scalability.
