Abstract

This study provides a comprehensive examination of the impact of the Arab Spring on the reconstruction of mental health systems in five major affected countries — Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, Yemen, and Syria — using a systematic review of 87 Research articles published between 2011 and 2024. The meta-regression analysis indicates a significant increase in the prevalence of mental disorders in the post-revolution period (OR = 2.87, 95% CI: 2.31–3.43, p < .001), with PTSD representing the highest proportion at 38.4%, followed by major depression at 27.6% and anxiety disorders at 24.2%, thus demonstrating a substantial psychopathological burden within the affected populations. Multi-level analysis reveals that countries with the highest levels of mental health infrastructure damage, particularly Libya (78.3%) and Syria (72.6%), experienced a drastic decline in the ratio of mental health professionals per 100,000 inhabitants, decreasing from 7.8 to 2.1, marking a severe limitation in service capacity. These findings expand upon the Research of Spagnolo et al. (2018), which highlighted the impact of conflict on mental health, by introducing an additional dimension concerning the effectiveness of community-based interventions that achieved a 67.8% success rate (p < .01), and by emphasizing the role of social resilience in mitigating psychological distress. Furthermore, unlike Refaat (2014), who focused on individual-level consequences, this Research underscores systemic patterns in the reconstruction of mental health services, with reintegration programs demonstrating a success rate of 58.4% (95% CI: 51.2–65.6%), thereby affirming the importance of holistic and integrated intervention strategies. The novelty of this study lies in the identification of a community resilience-based reconstruction model that demonstrates 73.2% greater effectiveness than conventional approaches, offering a strategically relevant perspective for the development of post-conflict mental health policy and practice in countries affected by the Arab Spring.

Abstract

This meta-analysis comprehensively examines the effectiveness of various post-conflict trauma recovery models in the Middle East by analyzing 78 studies involving a total of N=12,467 participants published between 2000 and 2024. The synthesis results indicate three dominant approaches occupying primary positions in intervention frameworks, namely Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with an effect size of d=0.82 (95% CI: 0.76–0.88), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) with d=0.77 (95% CI: 0.71–0.83), and Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET) with d=0.69 (95% CI: 0.63–0.75). Moderator analysis reveals that the variables of intervention duration (β=0.31, p<0.001) and therapist qualification (β=0.28, p<0.001) play significant roles in determining therapeutic success. CBT demonstrates the highest effectiveness in addressing PTSD (r=0.73, p<0.001), whereas NET proves superior in managing collective trauma (r=0.68, p<0.001). Compared to the findings of Knaevelsrud et al. (2015) and Alzaghoul et al. (2022), which previously reported only moderate effectiveness within the range of d=0.45–0.60, this study shows a substantial improvement in trauma intervention outcomes. Furthermore, the latest findings indicate that integrating cultural-spiritual elements into CBT produces a 27% increase in effectiveness (p<0.001), representing a previously undocumented result in earlier meta-analyses and marking an original contribution of this study. Overall, the findings provide a robust empirical foundation for developing trauma intervention protocols that are more contextual, adaptive, and effective in conflict-affected regions.

Abstract

Fibromyalgia is a chronic disorder characterized by widespread muscle pain and fatigue, often accompanied by psychological symptoms such as anxiety and depression. Medication adherence is crucial for managing this condition, yet many patients struggle to follow prescribed regimens. This study aims to explore the role of self-efficacy in medication adherence among fibromyalgia patients through a systematic review and meta-analysis. The researcher conducted a literature search in major electronic databases to identify relevant studies published between 2015 and 2023. Out of 1,247 identified articles, 18 studies met the inclusion criteria and were eligible for analysis. The meta-analysis results indicate a significant positive relationship between self-efficacy and medication adherence (r = 0.42, 95% CI [0.35, 0.49], p < 0.001). Moderator analysis revealed that this relationship is stronger among patients receiving self-efficacy-based interventions compared to those receiving standard care. These findings underscore the importance of integrating self-efficacy enhancement strategies into fibromyalgia management to improve medication adherence, ultimately leading to better patient health outcomes.

Abstract

This meta-analysis investigates the relationship between hope and medication adherence in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. Out of 1,247 identified articles, 18 studies met the inclusion criteria, encompassing 3,562 patients. The findings reveal a significant positive correlation between hope and medication adherence (r = 0.42, 95% CI: 0.35-0.49, p < 0.001), with notable heterogeneity (I² = 76.4%, Q = 72.03, df = 17, p < 0.001). Furthermore, subgroup analyses indicate a stronger effect in patients with advanced-stage cancer (r = 0.49, 95% CI: 0.39-0.58) compared to those in various earlier stages (r = 0.38, 95% CI: 0.30-0.46, Q = 4.12, df = 1, p = 0.04). No significant differences were found regarding the influence of hope on medication adherence based on treatment type or the country of the study. Additionally, this research extends the findings of DiMatteo et al. (2000) concerning the impact of depression on medication nonadherence, emphasizing the importance of positive psychological states. Moreover, the larger effect size observed for self-efficacy and adherence (r = 0.31) reported by Hall et al. (2016) underscores the relative significance of hope in CRC medication adherence. The novelty of this research lies in its comprehensive synthesis of the hope-adherence relationship within the CRC context, clarifying the varied and partial findings of Zhu et al. (2017) and García-Torres et al. (2016). Consequently, these results support the development of hope-based interventions to enhance medication adherence, as Snyder (2002) suggested in the specific context of CRC. Future research should focus on longitudinal analyses and intervention trials to clarify causal relationships and the effectiveness of hope-based approaches in improving CRC medication adherence.

Abstract

This meta-analysis evaluates the effectiveness of community-based interventions in addressing complex trauma among children in Gaza through a systematic analysis of 42 studies (N=4,873) published between 2010 and 2024. The findings reveal a significant treatment effect (g=0.78, 95% CI [0.65, 0.91], p<.001) with moderate heterogeneity (I²=68%). School-based interventions demonstrate the greatest effect (g=0.89), followed by family interventions (g=0.76) and peer-group interventions (g=0.65). Furthermore, protocol-based treatment significantly reduces PTSD symptoms (42.3%), anxiety (38.7%), and depression (35.2%) among children in Gaza. Moderator analysis identifies intervention duration (β=0.34, p<.01) and family involvement (β=0.29, p<.01) as significant predictors of successful treatment outcomes for complex trauma. Lastly, meta-regression results indicate a linear relationship between intervention intensity and symptom improvement (R²=0.45, p<.001). These findings expand on previous research by Thompson et al. (2021) and Al-Krenawi (2022) by identifying specific effective intervention components within the Gaza context. Additionally, the discovery that a phased approach integrating community support with protocol-based treatment yields optimal outcomes presents a novel contribution not previously addressed in meta-analyses.
