Involuntarily migration creates stressors for families that require systematic action at a societal level. Our premise is that parenting programmes have an untapped potential to enhance psychosocial health among parents and children. The aim of this study, therefore, was to review existing studies to evaluate the efficacy of preventive parenting programmes for parents who were refugees, asylum seekers or internally displaced. We included 20 publications from 3 electronic databases (Ovid MEDLINE, Ovid PsycINFO and Web of Science Core Collection): 16 on parenting interventions (13 original trials, <i>N</i> = 1191) and 4 on combined interventions (parents and youth, <i>N</i> = 1284). We compared a range of outcomes including child internalizing and externalizing symptoms, as well as parental competence (positive/negative parenting), self-efficacy, well-being and mental health/psychological distress. Between-group analyses indicated less externalizing behaviour (Hedge's <i>g</i> = 0.43, <i>p</i> < 0.05, k = 2) at post measurement for parents participating in the interventions, compared with those in the control conditions, as well as enhanced positive parenting strategies (<i>g</i> = 0.89, <i>p</i> < .01, k = 2), self-efficacy (<i>g</i> = 1.94, <i>p</i> < .001, k = 2) and parental psychological distress (<i>g</i> = 0.67, <i>p</i> < .05, k = 4). Within-group analyses of pre and post measurements supported that parents participating in the interventions reported improvements over time in all primary outcomes: parent-rated child internalizing and externalizing behaviours, negative and positive parenting, self-efficacy and the secondary outcome psychological distress. Analyses of combined studies suggested a small increase in positive parenting strategies (<i>g</i> = 0.17, <i>p</i> < .05, k = 2). Although our sample of reviewed studies was relatively small, and the study outcomes varied considerably, the results indicate that parenting programmes might be an underutilized resource to promote health among forcibly displaced families.Systematic review registration: PROSPERO (CRD42022330521).</p>","PeriodicalId":47864,"journal":{"name":"Transcultural Psychiatry","volume":" ","pages":"143-168"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13191069/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147515904","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It impairs intellectual, social functioning and adaptive abilities, and is one of the most common impairments among children. Under-resourced areas such as Khayelitsha in Western Cape, South Africa, have a high prevalence of ID and face immense structural, practical, and belief-related barriers to accessing ID biopsychosocial support. In collaboration with Western-trained healthcare practitioners, traditional healers within the community can contribute towards alleviating these barriers. This qualitative study utilised a phenomenological methodological approach and Bronfenbrenner's Ecological Systems theory to explore traditional healers' perspectives on collaborating with Western-trained healthcare practitioners to provide synergised ID support. We conducted 25 semi-structured interviews and one focus group discussion with traditional healers. We analysed 11 individual interviews and the focus group using Braun and Clarke's six-step method for thematic analysis. Seven key themes were identified and divided into barriers and facilitators of collaboration. Barriers were divergent healing practices, systemic disparities, and biases against traditional healers. Facilitators were building rapport, establishing systems for collaboration, and increasing access to resources and ID support. Traditional healers viewed collaboration as sensible in supporting children with ID; however, efforts must be made to address the presenting challenges for synergised ID support within communities. Future research should involve conducting community ID collaboration studies, garnering insight into collaboration efforts, documenting traditional healing practices, and conducting advocacy research to rectify systemic disparities.</p>","PeriodicalId":47864,"journal":{"name":"Transcultural Psychiatry","volume":" ","pages":"115-129"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13191057/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147272535","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Following insights developed by drama therapists, we anticipated that the bonds players formed with imaginary <i>persona</i>-in this context, gaming <i>characters</i>-might importantly contribute to the positive experiences of role-players. To test this idea, we collected ethnographically informed interview (N = 54) and survey (N = 149) responses from North American gamers, to clarify relationships between players' reported bonds with their characters and those players' broader concepts of self. We found that players relating to their characters in more <i>personal</i> ways-for example, as symbolic secondary selves, as is characteristic of role-playing games like D&D-also showed improvements in their sense of identity. Further, our analysis pointed to the importance of cultural and personal factors to these processes, including players' felt sense of social support and \"safety\" in their gaming groups and their facility for imaginatively absorbing into fantasy worlds.

The analysis draws on ethnographic fieldwork conducted between October 2022 and March 2023, including semi-structured interviews with public health managers in four municipalities and representatives of the Ministry of Health. A qualitative data analysis framework for applied policy research and a retrospective document analysis was used to contextualize local mental health policies and their conceptual foundations. The findings trace the development of local mental health policies and situate them within the peace-building context. Public responses to COVID-19 in the four municipalities revealed a marked increase in mental health initiatives and the prominence of mental health discourses on political agendas at both local and national levels. While narratives of isolation, fear, and bereavement echoed global concerns, their framing within Colombia's peace-building project gave them distinctive meanings and trajectories.
