Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this scoping review was to identify intervention studies related to well-being and healthy lifestyles in nursing students to identify research gaps in the literature for future research. Methods: The review followed the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI), JBI Manual for Evidence Synthesis, and Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews checklist. Five databases were searched to retrieve the articles assessed by this review: APA PsycINFO, CINAHL Complete, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science. Inclusion criteria included articles with a sample population of nursing students; addressed the well-being, wellness, health, or healthy lifestyle(s) of nursing students; tested an intervention(s), lifestyle change, behavioral change interventions, or behavior change technique. Findings: Twenty-four articles were included for analysis. Three categories of interventions were found: interventions related to (1) educational and curricular strategies, (2) psychological related interventions, and (3) supportive environments. Conclusion: This review adds to the literature by identifying future interventions that can increase the well-being of nursing students. The ability to cope with the stressors of school and competing demands is essential to meet academic requirements and goals. Therefore, understanding how to address nursing student well-being is vital to the future of the nursing profession.
