While being utilized in various clinical settings, its specific cumulative impact on women\u2019s health across different life stages remains to be comprehensively synthesized. This systematic review aims to evaluate the effectiveness of GI on psychological and physiological outcomes in women\u2019s health, including gynecologic\/breast cancer, pregnancy, childbirth, and menopause. Methods: A systematic search was conducted across PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and CINAHL databases for studies published between 2014 and 2024. The search terms included keywords related to \u201cguided imagery,\u201d \u201cwomen\u2019s health,\u201d and \u201cexperimental studies\u201d. We included randomized controlled trials and quasi-experimental studies focusing on GI interventions in women. Data were extracted on study characteristics, participant demographics, intervention details, and outcomes. The methodological quality was assessed using the JBI Critical Appraisal Tools. Results: A total of 29 studies (27 RCTs, 2 quasi-experimental) involving 1939 women were included. GI was found to significantly reduce anxiety, stress, depression, pain, and fatigue. It also improved quality of life and the overall labor experience during childbirth. The synthesis revealed that GI has evolved from a simple relaxation tool to a holistic mind\u2013body intervention. Conclusions: Guided imagery is an effective, non-invasive, and low-cost complementary intervention that improves various psychological and physiological health outcomes in women. It should be integrated into clinical practice as part of patient-centered, holistic nursing care.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph23081066","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,17]],"date-time":"2026-08-17T12:01:26Z","timestamp":1786968086000},"page":"1066","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["The Effects of Guided Imagery on Women\u2019s Health: A Systematic Review of Experimental Studies"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-1219-8775","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"\u015eehma","family":"\u015een","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Nursing (English) Department, Istanbul Atlas University, \u0130stanbul 34408, T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9272-3561","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Duygu","family":"G\u00f6zen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Nursing, Ko\u00e7 University, \u0130stanbul 34010, T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"4377","DOI":"10.1007\/s12325-024-03016-3","article-title":"Exploring the impact of sex and gender in brain function: Implications and considerations","volume":"41","author":"Gualtierotti","year":"2024","journal-title":"Adv.
