Psychological interventions for mental health in adults with multiple long-term conditions: A scoping review and evolution of the evidence base

Background

Managing multiple long-term conditions (MLTCs) within individuals is a key global public health priority. Psychological interventions are effective in improving mental health outcomes in single-condition populations, yet the evidence for adults with MLTCs remains scarce. This scoping review aimed to map existing evidence on psychological interventions for people with MLTCs, highlight literature gaps and offer recommendations for future research, practice, and policy.
