这篇国际文献综述评估了父母关系破裂对儿童的影响，以及如果发生这种情况，可以提供支持的因素。父母分离的过程对大多数儿童造成了严重的短期痛苦，少数儿童报告了长期后果，如社会经济不利、行为问题、教育成绩差以及身心健康问题。增加持续不利处境可能性的因素包括：贫穷;父母与子女关系不佳;父母之间持续的冲突;家庭形成过程中的多次过渡;以及产妇心理健康不佳。支持可以改善儿童结果的因素，探索加强夫妻和家庭关系的适当方法，以及纳入儿童的意见（例如，在基于法院的争端解决中）是对实践和政策的主要影响。
This review of international literature assesses the impacts that the relationship breakdown of parents has on children and factors that can provide support should this occur. The parental separation process causes significant albeit short-term distress for most children, with a minority reporting longer-term outcomes such as socio-economic disadvantage, behavioural problems, poor educational achievement, and physical and emotional health problems. Factors increasing the likelihood of sustained disadvantage include: poverty; poor parent-child relationships; continuing parental conflict, multiple transitions in family formation; and poor maternal mental health. Supporting the factors that can improve child outcomes, exploring opportune ways to strengthen couple and family relationships, and integrating the views of children (for example, in court-based dispute resolution) are the leading implications for practice and policy.
