Abstract Unemployment is associated with a diminished mental health. Interventions to improve mental health for the unemployed exist. However, there is no clear overview with respect to the content and effectiveness of these interventions. A systematic search was conducted and, included studies that targeted unemployed adults, described an intervention and reported mental health as an outcome measure. After screening, 24 studies remained, which contained 21 different interventions. These interventions could be classified into three categories: occupational skills training interventions, psychological interventions and combined interventions. The majority of the studies reported significant short-term effects on mental health, but in most cases evidence of sustained effects was lacking or not assessed. There is promising evidence that interventions combining occupational skills and resilience training are effective in promoting mental health. However, there is a need for high-quality research on the intervention effects on the mental health of the (long-term) unemployed.

促进失业者心理健康的干预措施：对应用技术和有效性的系统评价

摘要失业与心理健康下降有关。存在改善失业者心理健康的干预措施。但是，关于这些干预措施的内容和有效性尚无明确的概述。进行了系统的搜索，其中包括针对失业成年人的研究，描述了干预措施并报告了心理健康作为结果的衡量标准。筛选后，剩下24项研究，其中包含21种不同的干预措施。这些干预措施可以分为三类：职业技能培训干预措施，心理干预措施和综合干预措施。大多数研究报告了对精神健康的重大短期影响，但在大多数情况下，缺乏或未评估持续影响的证据。有可喜的证据表明，结合职业技能和适应力培训的干预措施可以有效地促进心理健康。但是，有必要对干预措施对（长期）失业者心理健康的干预效果进行高质量的研究。
