Although positive psychology interventions (PPIs) show beneficial effects on mental health in non-clinical populations, the current literature is inconclusive regarding its effectiveness clinical settings. We aimed to examine of PPIs well-being (primary outcome), depression, anxiety, and stress (secondary outcomes) samples with psychiatric or somatic disorders. A systematic review meta-analysis was conducted following PRISMA guidelines. PsycINFO, PubMed, Scopus were searched for controlled studies between Jan 1, 1998 May 31, 2017. Methodological quality each study rated. used Hedges’ adjusted g calculate effect sizes pooled results using random-effect models. Thirty included, representing 1864 patients At post-intervention, showed significant, small (Hedges’ = 0.24) depression (g 0.23) compared control conditions when omitting outliers. Significant moderate improvements observed anxiety 0.36). Effect not significant. Follow-up (8–12 weeks), available, yielded similar sizes. Quality low moderate. These findings indicate that PPIs, wherein focus eliciting feelings, cognitions behaviors, only have potential improve well-being, but can also reduce distress populations Given growing interest settings, more high research warranted as determine samples.
