Well-Being in Children Who Experience Broken Home: A Systematic Review

Abstract

Family has an important role in the growth and development of children, but in reality not all children grow up in intact and harmonious families. Children who are victims of parental separation often face complex psychological conditions. These conditions can affect children's mental well-being such as the emergence of unreasonable fear, difficulty communicating, aggressive behavior and pessimistic feelings. This paper aims to review the psychological well-being of children who are victims of divorce (broken home) and to find out the interventions that can be done. This paper uses a systematic approach with the SPIDER formula (Sample, Phenomenon of Interest, Design, Evaluation and Research Type) to formulate research questions. Data were collected through journal searches on Google Scholar with inclusion criteria: journals in Indonesian and published in 2024-2025; and exclusion criteria: journals in English and published before 2024.
