背景 非洲的家庭最近正在发生变化。该研究的目的是回顾已发表的关于非洲家庭变迁的类型、决定因素和后果的文献，并强调该领域的研究差距。方法 从 Pub Med、JStor、Google Scholar 和 Science Direct 等数据库下载 1976 年至今的 69 种期刊，并进行系统评价。结果 由于社会经济因素、宗教、健康和政治变化，非洲出现了家庭转型。 72% 的研究采用定量方法，20% 采用定性方法，7% 采用混合方法。在同性婚姻、同居和只有父亲的家庭等主题上存在研究空白。结论 非洲的家庭正在应对周围发生的社会经济和其他变化。非洲的家庭研究仍在研究中。需要更多的混合方法研究来解释定量结果。
Background Families in Africa have been undergoing changes recently. The objective of the study was to review published literature on the types, determinants and consequences of family changes in Africa and highlight research gaps in the area. Methods Sixty-nine journals from 1976 to date that were downloaded from databases such as Pub Med, JStor, Google Scholar and Science Direct, and were systematically reviewed. Results There is family transition in Africa due to socio-economic factors, religious, health and political changes. Seventy-two percent of the studies employed a quantitative approach, 20% qualitative and 7% mixed method approach. There are research gaps on topics such as same–sex marriages, cohabitation and father only households. Conclusion Families in Africa are responding to socio-economic and other changes that are happening around them. Family research is still under studied in Africa. There is need for more mixed method studies that explain the quantitative findings.
