Emotions, anxiety, depression and the immune system: an integrative view of psychoneuroimmunology from a meta-analytic review of the narrative /

The study focused on conducting a meta-analytic review of three variables psychoneuroimmunology, emotions, and the immune system, intending to find a relationship between them. The methodology was the PRISMA statement with inclusion criteria: production of the last five years, full text, exclusion criteria: book chapters, reviews, editorials, letters to the editorials, as well as systematic and meta-analytic reviews; a formula was created from the variables with Boolean operators (AND, OR, NOT) in databases: Web of Science, PubMed and Elsevier. The first sweep denotes (n=2237) articles and after the application of the screening, the final sample was (n=26). Among the findings is the emergence of three categories of analysis using a word map: cognitive abilities, mental fatigue, and stressors. In conclusion, psychoneuroimmunology is a science that articulates mental processes and the functioning of the nervous, immune, and endocrine systems that affect the individual in such a way that the psychological aspects linked to emotional management and control can present better management and intervention in mental illnesses.
