Objective: Identify the application procedures, types of interventions, and results of SP studied in the literature between 2019 and 2023. Materials and methods: In this systematic review, the inclusion criteria consisted of samples of adults with any medical condition, studies available in Portuguese, English, or Spanish, and those describing the direct impact of an SP intervention on clients. The investigation period was from July 12 to September 1, 2023, and the databases used were Academic Search Complete, Web of Science, PubMed, and Scopus. Results: Eight articles involving 352 participants (SD=442.648) were selected. We identified studies of a qualitative (37.5%), quantitative (37.5%), and mixed (25%) nature. Qualitative studies analyzed the experiences and perceptions of clients and liaison workers regarding the SP intervention, while quantitative studies assessed the effects of SP on variables such as mental and physical health, and social well-being. Mixed studies analyzed physical health, identification, and social belonging. We identified wide-ranging benefits, including improvements in mental and physical health, self-determination, autonomy, and social well-being. Conclusions: SP has demonstrated the potential to improve health and well-being individually and systemically, thereby increasing the efficiency of healthcare services. However, adaptation to individual needs and the effective integration of healthcare and community support are essential. The limitations suggest the need for future research addressing additional criteria. Introducción: La creciente disparidad en salud subraya la importancia de los programas preventivos, en los que la Prescripción Social (PS) surge como una intervención integral para la salud física, mental y social. Objetivo: Identificar los procedimientos de aplicación, tipos de intervenciones y resultados de la PS estudiados en la literatura entre 2019 y 2023. Materiales y métodos: En esta revisión sistemática, los criterios de inclusión incluyeron muestras de adultos con cualquier condición médica, estudios disponibles en portugués/inglés/español y aquellos que describieran el impacto directo de una intervención de PS en los clientes. El período de investigación fue del 12 de julio al 1 de septiembre de 2023 y las bases de datos utilizadas fueron Academic Search Complete, Web of Science, PubMed y Scopus. Resultados: Se seleccionaron ocho artículos que involucraron a 352 participantes (DE = 442,648). Se identificaron estudios de naturaleza cualitativa (37,5 %), cuantitativa (37,5 %) y mixta (25 %). Los estudios cualitativos analizaron las experiencias y percepciones de los clientes y los trabajadores de enlace con respecto a la intervención de PS, mientras que los estudios cuantitativos evaluaron los efectos de la PS en variables como la salud mental y física y el bienestar social. Los estudios mixtos analizaron la salud física, la identificación y la pertenencia social. Identificamos amplios beneficios, incluidas mejoras en la salud mental y física, la autodeterminación, la autonomía y el bienestar social. Conclusiones: La PS ha demostrado el potencial de mejorar la salud y el bienestar a nivel individual y sistémico, aumentando así la eficiencia de los servicios de salud. Sin embargo, la adaptación a las necesidades individuales y la integración efectiva de la atención sanitaria y el apoyo comunitario son esenciales. Las limitaciones sugieren la necesidad de futuras investigaciones que aborden criterios adicionales. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Salud Uninorte is the property of Fundacion Universidad del Norte and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
