A flowchart showing the identification, screening, and inclusion of records from 1,401 initial sources, resulting in 22 studies included in the review.A flowchart outlines the study selection process. In the Identification phase, 1401 records were identified from multiple sources including C I N A H L with a total of 299, Cochrane C E N T R A L with a total of 95, Google advanced grey literature with a total of 5, Ovid platform with a total of 280, ProQuest dissertations and theses global grey literature with a total of 5, Psych I N F O with a total of 370, PubMed dot gov with a total of 192, and S C O P U S with a total of 155. Before screening, 520 duplicate records were removed. In the Screening phase, 881 records were screened, out of which 839 were excluded. Forty-two reports were sought for retrieval and all were retrieved. These 42 reports were assessed for eligibility. Eighteen were excluded for the following reasons: 12 had ineligible intervention, 3 had ineligible participants, 2 had ineligible setting, 1 had ineligible study design, and 2 were not research. In the Included phase, 22 studies were included in the review with 22 corresponding reports. The layout uses boxes and arrows flowing from top to bottom to show the transition from one phase to the next.
