Abstract
This review aims to consolidate and appraise evidence exploring the caregiver burden of parents of children with mental disorders. A mixed-studies review structure was adopted and six electronic databases (PubMed, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Embase, Scopus and ProQuest Dissertations and Theses Global) were searched from each database's inception date until September 2023. Thomas & Harden's thematic analysis framework was utilised for data analysis. Twenty-three studies were included in this review. The results-based convergent integration method identified an overarching theme titled 'hiding behind the walls on fire, engulfed in chaos: dark and alone', three main themes named 'Invisible scars': role of psychological factors on caregiver burden, navigating through social and economic influences on caregiving burden, and influence of illness-related variables and nine subthemes. This review highlighted that the parents perceived insufficient support from healthcare providers and a lack of insight regarding their children's medical condition as the primary contributors to the burden experienced. It is imperative for healthcare professionals to collaboratively engage with parental caregivers, offering accessible treatment options for their children with mental disorders and providing comprehensive educational resources to facilitate a profound understanding of their children's mental health conditions. In addition to addressing caregivers' informational needs, the establishment of an integrated support system is advocated, one involving active participation from healthcare professionals, healthcare institutions, community resources, social services and policymakers. This holistic approach could better meet the multifaceted needs of caregivers, encompassing psychosocial, emotional and financial aspects. Trial Registration: International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews: PROSPERO ID: CRD42022363420.
