The impact of family stress and resilience on child development: a scoping review.
Article in Trends in psychiatry and psychotherapy, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveChildren grow up spending most of their time within the family social environment, where they can experience stressful situations such as marital conflict, a non-cohesive environment, parental alcohol use disorder, parental depression, and other parental mental health issues. All these factors are associated with children's developmental delays. We aimed to conduct a scoping review on associations between family stress and family resilience and child development delays to examine familial conditions associated with child development.
methodsWe conducted a scoping review of observational studies published from January 2000 to July 2023 and indexed in the MEDLINE and LILACS databases. We included observational studies that assessed history of exposure to violence and behavioral or emotional symptoms or mental health problems among children aged 4-12. Data were independently extracted using a structured form.
resultsDatabase searches identified 12,990 unique records. A total of 43 articles were included in the review. Three main findings emerged: (1) parental mental health problems, especially depressive symptoms in mothers, were associated with child developmental delays and mental health problems; (2) better parenting practices and a cohesive home environment were positively associated with child development; and (3) vulnerable social environments (e.g., poverty and housing insecurity) may be linked to child mental health problems.
conclusionThe studies reviewed show that promoting better family dynamics and increasing family cohesion, as well as improving parenting abilities, are beneficial to children's socioemotional development and prevention of child mental health problems. Moreover, increasing family and children's resilience improves the quality of life within family units.
