“…One of the greatest changes in mental health treatment has been the move to online treatment during the pandemic, both for traditional open-ended psychological interventions [61] and shorter-term programmes specifically utilised for the pandemic [62]. A previous meta-analysis has shown that remote interventions can be effective in improving psychological wellbeing [15].…”

Aim: The aim of this rapid review was to investigate whether lifestyle coaching could provide a cost-effective alternative to counselling for the UK National Health Service (NHS) treatment of common mental health conditions such as stress, anxiety and depression. Methods: A rapid review approach was used to determine the evidence of health economics evaluations in the field of mental health services. A literature search of PubMed, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, ASSIA, PsycINFO and MEDLINE produced 2807 articles. We removed 778 duplicates, and 2029 study articles remained. Two reviewers screened titles and abstracts (RG and KP), and 37 papers met the inclusion criteria of this review. Following a full-text screening, a further 27 papers were excluded due to lack of relevance. Study designs which did not include economic evaluations (n=15) or did not include an evaluation treatment of mental health conditions with talking therapies (n=15) did not meet the inclusion criteria. Ten papers were included in the final rapid review. Results: The database search yielded study articles which focused on the cost-effectiveness of counselling and other talking therapies such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). No literature was found to determine the cost-effectiveness, or effectiveness of lifestyle coaching. Due to a lack of economic evaluations, this review could not determine the potential cost-effectiveness of lifestyle coaching as a means of addressing the backlog for mental health support such as counselling in the NHS. Conclusion: This review highlights the research gap in assessing the cost-effectiveness of lifestyle coaching for treating common mental health disorders. The proposed next step is to evaluate the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of lifestyle coaching versus current treatment as usual (counselling) by using a feasibility randomised control trial.

Education was one of the many day-to-day activities affected by the novel coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19). When countries began to shut down in April 2020, nationwide lockdowns, self-isolation, or quarantine became the new normal for everyone. The education sector was kept alive by smart learning environments. Now, more than ever, online learning and tools were implemented. This study aims to systematically review the literature on the impact of the pandemic on smart learning environments. The method adopted in this paper is a systematic literature review, and it will use the PRISMA technique. A qualitative approach was applied in the data collection process to achieve the aim. The essential advantage was that smart learning environments were convenient and easily adapted by students during the pandemic. The main challenge was connectivity issues and failure to adapt to non-traditional methods. The paper concluded a rise in the usage of smart learning environments, and educators and students adapted quickly to the shift.

Stress in nurses is multifocal, pervasive, and persistent. They practice in a contemporary heath care environment characterized by rapid change, the ongoing integration of novel technologies, and interpersonal challenges. Relationships with patients and families pose unique dilemmas related to witnessing anguish and trauma over time. Interventions are needed to counter the affective demands of nurse caregiving. To this end, national initiatives have been proposed to outline general work setting enhancements promoting well-being. Stressor-specific interventions have also been identified. The goal of this article is to provide an overview of the macro (organizational) recommendations for change and a micro (practice setting) blueprint of potential interventions to promote nurse well-being.
