| Abstract: | Background: Children and youth growing up in contexts characterized by political violence are at high risk of developing mental health impairments. In recent years, a growing interest has been directed to the study of children's well-being after being exposed to political violence in order to develop interventions aimed at preserving and enhancing it. Objective: This study provides a synthetic overview of studies that have explored or implemented interventions aimed at improving well-being and life satisfaction in conflict-affected children. Methods: We identified peer-reviewed studies relating to children's well-being in conflict-affected environments through a narrative literature review. An ecological framework was used to organize the studies in relation to the individual, family, social and community factors playing a role in promoting and preserving participants' well-being. Implications for practices, policies and research were summarized to highlight areas in which they need strengthening. Results: Of 1221 unique studies returned from online searches of the literature, 70 qualified for full review, with a total of 22 peer-reviewed studies included in the final synthesis. Results indicate a range of domains and dimensions that mutually interact to either enhance or diminish children's well-being and life satisfaction. Four studies explicitly focused on assessing the effectiveness of interventions aimed at promoting and assessing children's well-being and health. Conclusions: Researchers were able to identify several dimensions that were contributing to the children's well-being in situations of significant adversity. The concept of well-being emerged as a combination of personal resources and supportive contexts—such as family, peers, and community—that vary over time or across contexts. Well-being and life satisfaction in children living in contexts of political violence: a narrative literature review. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
