Abstrakt:	Introduction: Although there is increased awareness about healthcare workers' (HCWs') stress and burnout after the COVID-19 pandemic, support interventions should be tailored according to the needs of HCWs. Given the unique challenges rural HCWs face, we sought to systematically identify the types of interventions specifically designed and utilized to support the well-being of HCWs practicing in rural settings. Method: We conducted a comprehensive search of the existing literature through electronic databases to identify quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-methods studies describing supportive interventions for rural HCWs with well-being-related outcomes between January 1, 2023 and March 31, 2023. We used the Effective Public Health Practice Project, Mixed Methods Assessment Tool, and Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Checklist to evaluate the study quality. Findings: Out of 1,583 identified records, 25 studies were included in the analysis. The studies described a wide range of supportive interventions and outcomes. The overall quality of the studies was weak to moderate. None of the studies were randomized and only six included controls. Included interventions were generally well- accepted. Quantitative and qualitative themes identified shared decision making, effective supervision, and proactive cultural change as promising interventions that warrant further exploration. Financial interventions alone were not effective. Most of the studies were either unfunded or were funded internally by the institutions. Conclusions: There is limited research in support interventions for rural HCWs. Larger, well-designed studies are needed to explore promising interventions to promote well-being of rural healthcare workforce. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved).
