Stata 16.0 was used for statistical analysis and graphics. Results Eight studies were incorporated. From 7 studies report, the pooled prevalence of stress was 35% (95% CI 23–48%, I 2 = 98.20%, Tau^2 = 0.03, p < 0.001). From 6 studies reported the pooled prevalence of the anxiety was 44% (95% CI 30%-57%, I 2 = 97.90%, Tau^2 = 0.03, p < 0.001). From 5 studies reported the pooled prevalence of depression was 44% (95% CI 23%-65%, I 2 = 99.10%, Tau^2 = 0.06, p < 0.001). Likewise, the factors of mental illness were summarized.
