Abstract

BACKGROUND Undernutrition is related to numerous childhood outcomes. However, little research has investigated the relationship between food insecurity and family dynamics. This systematic review seeks to validate the evidence for a relationship between these 2 factors. METHODS A systematic literature review was conducted in Embase, PubMed, and Scopus. Inclusion criteria include peer-reviewed research articles published during or after 1996 in English, using standardized measures of family function and food insecurity. Exclusion criteria include measurement of parent or child characteristics without assessing household or family characteristics or demographics. Two reviewers independently voted using Covidence, and Alpha agreement was determined at each phase. RESULTS A total of 15 studies were included for data extraction after the initial search being completed in April 2022. All included studies were found to be appropriate in numerous categories for quality assessment. Primary findings from these studies show a potential relationship exists between food insecurity and family dynamics. DISCUSSION The findings in this review suggest that effects of food insecurity expand to various aspects of healthy family functioning. Unhealthy family dynamics in childhood can also expose children to trauma and lead to increased physical and mental health disorders in the future.

粮食不安全与家庭动态：系统回顾。

背景营养不良与儿童的多种结果有关。然而，很少有研究调查过食物不安全与家庭动态之间的关系。本系统综述旨在验证这两个因素之间关系的证据。纳入标准包括 1996 年期间或之后发表的经同行评审的研究文章，这些文章使用了标准化的家庭功能和食物不安全测量方法。排除标准包括对父母或子女特征进行测量，但未评估家庭或家人特征或人口统计学特征。结果2022年4月完成初步搜索后，共有15项研究被纳入数据提取范围。所有纳入的研究均被认为符合质量评估的多个类别。这些研究的主要结果表明，粮食不安全与家庭动态之间存在潜在关系。讨论本综述的结果表明，粮食不安全的影响扩大到健康家庭功能的各个方面。童年时期不健康的家庭动态也会使儿童遭受创伤，并导致未来身体和精神疾病的增加。
