布朗芬布伦纳的生态学理论作为指导公共心理健康干预的概念工具很有吸引力。然而，他的理论经历了重大的变化，因为它的第一次成立，在20世纪70年代末，直到他在2005年去世，由于可以得出的影响可能会有所不同，这取决于什么概念（即早期或后期）的理论是利用。本文的目的是研究如何不同的概念Bronfenbrenner的理论已被用于（公共）心理健康研究，并分析这些不同的用途，指导公共心理健康政策和实践的价值。系统检索了在心理健康领域内利用Bronfenbrenner理论概念的文章，对16篇已发表的论文进行了回顾。我们发现，一组论文（N = 10）使用了生态系统的早期概念，而没有调查这些系统之间的相互作用，而另一组论文使用了生态系统的概念，也调查了这些系统内部和之间的相互作用（N = 4）。另一组有限的论文（N = 2）利用了近端过程和PPCT模型的后期概念。我们的研究结果表明，研究使用Bronfenbrenner的生态系统概念，通过明确考虑这些系统之间和内部的相互作用，可以产生最有用的建议，指导公共精神卫生政策和实践。
Bronfenbrenner's ecological theory is appealing as a conceptual tool for guiding public mental health interventions. However, his theory underwent significant changes since its first inception during the late 1970s until his death in 2005, due to which the implications that can be drawn might differ depending on what concepts (i.e. early or later) of the theory is utilized. The aim of this paper was to examine how different concepts of Bronfenbrenner's theory have been utilized in (public) mental health research, and to analyse the value of these different uses for guiding public mental health policy and practice. A systematic search for articles that have utilized concepts of Bronfenbrenner's theory within the field of mental health resulted in a review of 16 published papers. We found that one set of papers (N = 10) used the early concepts of ecological systems without investigating interactions between these systems, while another set of papers used the concepts of ecological systems by also investigating interactions within and between these systems (N = 4). Another limited set of papers (N = 2) utilized the later concepts of proximal processes and the PPCT model. Our results show that studies using Bronfenbrenner's ecological system concepts by clearly considering interactions between and within these systems can result in recommendations that are most useful for guiding public mental health policy and practice.
