背景:Filicide,父母或父母杀害孩子的行为,在非洲各国都有报道。然而,在整个非洲大陆,缺乏对杀丝剂流行率和相关因素的全面审查,其特点是不同的文化信仰和习俗。这篇综述旨在研究非洲杀丝剂的患病率和危险因素。
方法:这篇综述包括非洲对杀丝剂的研究,通过各种数据库中的搜索识别(PubMed,Scopus,非洲在线杂志,和谷歌学者)使用相关关键字。Mendeley参考管理器用于组织所有已识别的文章并删除重复条目。由两名独立评审员进行两轮筛选,通过双方协议选择的最终条款。然后评估研究的质量。
结果:在检索到的107篇文章中,只有15人被纳入审查。这些研究揭示了不同的患病率:凶杀案总数的3.7%,1.38%的人死于家庭暴力,和13.02%的尸检儿童。确定了杀菌剂的各种潜在风险因素,包括意外怀孕,婚姻冲突,家庭纠纷和暴力,社会经济地位低,肇事者的心理健康问题,和精神,物理,或者是受害者的神经弱点.文化信仰也被认为是造成自杀的因素。
结论:Filicide是一个复杂而多维的问题,受各种个体的影响,家族性,和社会因素。该审查强调了非洲丝剂的高流行率,由这些不同的因素塑造。
BACKGROUND: Filicide, the act of a parent or parental figure killing their child, has been reported in various African countries. However, there is a lack of comprehensive reviews on the prevalence and associated factors of filicide across the African continent, which is characterized by diverse cultural beliefs and practices. This
review aims to examine the prevalence and risk factors of filicide in Africa.
METHODS: This
review included studies on filicide in Africa, identified through searches in various databases (PubMed, Scopus, Africa Journal Online, and Google Scholar) using relevant keywords. The Mendeley reference manager was used to organize all identified articles and remove duplicate entries. A two-round screening process was conducted by two independent reviewers, with the final set of articles selected through mutual agreement. The quality of the studies was then assessed.
RESULTS: Out of the 107 retrieved articles, only 15 were included in the
review. These studies revealed diverse prevalence rates: 3.7% of total homicides, 1.38% of deaths from family violence, and 13.02% for autopsied children. Various potential risk factors for filicide were identified, including unwanted pregnancies, marital conflicts, family disputes and violence, low socio-economic status, mental health issues in perpetrators, and mental, physical, or neurological vulnerabilities in victims. Cultural beliefs were also recognized as contributing factors to filicide.
CONCLUSIONS: Filicide is a complex and multi-dimensional issue influenced by various individual, familial, and societal factors. The
review highlighted a high prevalence of filicide in Africa, shaped by these diverse factors.
