{"title":"Analysis and mapping of literature on child marriage published in peer-reviewed journals (1983 – 2022)","authors":"Waleed M. Sweileh","doi":"10.1080/17450128.2023.2278116","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/17450128.2023.2278116","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACTChild marriage, a stark disruption of the traditional childhood experience, remains a pressing concern, yet the scientific exploration of this complex issue has been surprisingly overlooked in terms of comprehensive analysis and mapping. This study aimed to bridge this gap by conducting an extensive examination and mapping of child marriage literature within peer-reviewed journals. Employing the powerful Scopus database, the study combed through research articles spanning from 1983 to 2022. Both quantitative and qualitative analyses were applied to uncover research trends and content patterns. The search string led to the retrieval of 964 relevant documents, revealing a nearly equal distribution between medical and social science subject areas. The analysis yielded several crucial findings. Firstly, it became evident that the current volume of research on child marriage, considering the prevalent rates and impact, falls considerably short of being adequate. A notable surge in research output was detected in the most recent five-year span (2018–2022), likely in response to the global commitment to sustainable development goals. Despite countries with high child marriage rates contributing relatively less to the research landscape, specific nations like India, Bangladesh, Ethiopia, and Nigeria left a noticeable imprint. Furthermore, high-income countries, including the US, the UK, Canada, and Australia, demonstrated significant involvement primarily through international research collaborations with scholars in high child marriage rate regions. Equally noteworthy is the revelation that the field of child marriage is a convergence of scholarly efforts from both the social and medical sciences. Notably, the University of California San Diego played a pivotal role in shaping and fostering research in this domain. In conclusion, the urgency of eliminating all detrimental practices against girls necessitates heightened research efforts, deeper collaboration, and a more holistic approach.KEYWORDS: Child marriagesustainable development goalsresearchbibliometric analysis Abbreviations WHO=World Health OrganizationCM=Child marriageDisclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author.Availability of data and materialsAll data presented in this manuscript are available on the Scopus database using the search query listed in the methodology section.Additional informationFundingThe author(s) reported there is no funding associated with the work featured in this article.Notes on contributorsWaleed M.

Children are a vulnerable group. Disasters can reduce the ability to adapt. This study aims to explore the experience of repeated flooding in children who live in flood-prone areas.Method: A qualitative study with a phenomenological design in Baleendah village, West Java. Qualitative phenomenological studies focus on details and aspects of children’s experiences that form the meaning and understanding of children about flooding. Fifteen participants were taken by purposive sampling. The inclusion criteria were aged 13–18 years, experienced a flood disaster, and lived in disaster-prone areas with moderate to high risk based on the Inarisk application. The collected data came through in-depth interviews with semi-structured interview guidelines. The analysis was carried out inductively to obtain themes based on in-depth interviews.Results: Fifteen children (ten girls and five boys) who have experienced flooding more than 2–5 times participated in the research. Children know about seasonal floods in their homes. They interpret it as an unpleasant experience repeated every rainy season and cannot be changed.There are five themes from this study: knowledge about flooding, feelings experienced, focus on solving flood problems, felt problems, and group beliefs.Conclusion: Repeated floods are stressors for children. They respond as unpleasant experiences. It indicates psychosocial problems in children in flood-prone areas. Children cannot overcome psychological problems independently and require mental health intervention for adaptation. A psychosocial intervention programme is essential for children who live in flood-prone areas.KEYWORDS: Childrenseasonal flooddisaster-proneunpleasant experience Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThe author(s) reported there is no funding associated with the work featured in this article.Notes on contributorsSusanti NimanSusanti Niman is a mental health nurse on mental health and psychiatric research.

Understanding its causes in a particular setting can inform context-specific interventions. We used Fuzzy cognitive mapping (FCM), a visual method for collating local knowledge about causes of health outcomes, to explore community views of factors that cause or prevent violence against young women in rural communities in southeast Botswana. In three communities, groups of young men, young women, older men, and older women built maps (68 participants and 12 maps in total) of factors they believed increased or decreased the risk of violence against young women. Trained local facilitators guided group sessions, drawing the reported factors as nodes linked by weighted arrows indicating the direction and strength of causal relationships among factors. Fuzzy transitive closure calculated the influence of each factor on others, considering direct and indirect connections. We combined maps by groups of stakeholders and condensed individual factors into categories which emerged from an inductive thematic analysis. The categories labelled conflict in relationships and parenting and family issues had the strongest influences on increasing violence across all maps. These categories were also common intermediaries between other causal categories and violence. The categories labelled women being disrespectful or uncooperative and transactional and intergenerational sex were the third and fourth strongest risk categories overall. Prominent protective concepts included a stronger legal framework and strengthening the role of local traditional leadership, with greater prominence on the maps of older participants. The most influential risk and protective categories were consistent across young men, young women, older men, and older women. FCM was feasible and acceptable with different stakeholders in Botswana. Fuzzy cognitive maps can inform community discussions, for example, of conflictive gender norms, family dynamics or healthier relationships, and are useful to build theories on how to act on the causes of violence against young women.KEYWORDS: Intimate partner violenceviolencegenderparticipatory researchinterpersonal violence AcknowledgmentsWe thank the men and women who contributed their time and knowledge in the FCM sessions.

Fuzzy cognitive mapping (FCM) can support participatory research by depicting local stakeholder knowledge about causes of health outcomes. This study used FCM to explore local perceptions about causes of suicide among young men in rural communities close to the capital, Gaborone. In nine sessions, groups of young men, young women, older men, and older women separately mapped their knowledge of factors related to suicide among young men (46 people in total). Two trained facilitators, fluent in the local language, led the group sessions. The maps depicted risk and protective factors as nodes connected by arrows to show causal relationships. Participants also ranked the strength of each link on a scale of one (weakest) to five (strongest). Fuzzy transitive closure calculated the maximum influence of each factor, taking into account all other influences on the map. We combined maps by different stakeholders and grouped the 130 unique factors across the maps into 17 broader categories which emerged from an inductive thematic analysis of all the node labels. Financial difficulties, relationship problems, and family issues were the strongest categories of perceived causes of suicide by young men. Mental health problems played an intermediary role between more distal causes and suicide. There were differences in maps of different gender and age groups, but the strongest influences were consistent across groups. Young women, but not young men, identified men’s lack of self-esteem as a strong cause of suicide. The FCM findings offer a starting point for community discussions to seek local solutions to youth suicide.KEYWORDS: Southern Africamental healthself-harmcommunity interventionsparticipatory researchviolence AcknowledgmentsWe thank the men and women who contributed their time and knowledge in the FCM sessions.

They are vulnerable to emotional and behavioral problems and psychosocial disturbances. An observational evaluation of psychosocial issues in children with TDTs aged 4–18 using Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaires (SDQ). Psychosocial part in children with TDTs often experiences difficulties in childhood under 10 years old, compared to adolescents (11–18 years) for emotional symptoms and conduct problems. Boys and girls had similar psychosocial problems regarding emotional symptoms, conduct problems, hyperactivity-inatttention, peer relationship problems, and prosocial behavior. In a quarter of cases, they had emotional symptoms, conduct, and hyperactivity-inattention issues, especially in younger children. Interestingly, younger children have more problems than adolescence in peer relations even though they are still under strict parental supervision. Difficulties in emotion, conduct, and hyperactivity would affect their relationship life. Children may try to be accepted by their social environment (prosocial) even though they realize that there are problems in their emotional life and peer relationships. Regular screening of the psychosocial aspects should be followed by counseling because regular transfusion and iron chelation are necessary for long-term management.KEYWORDS: Childtransfusion-dependent thalassemiapsychosocial aspectsemotional and conductpeer relationshipprosocial behavior AcknowledgmentsThe author would like to thank all the staff of the Division of Hematology-Oncology and Residents of Pediatrics at the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Airlangga/Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital, Surabaya, East Java, IndonesiaDisclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Data availability statementThe data that support the findings of this study are available from the corresponding author upon reasonable request.Ethical declarationResearch ethics were obtained from the Health Research Ethics Committee of Clinical Research Unit (CRU) on Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital, Surabaya, East Java, Indonesia under the ethics number 0462/KEPK/VIII/2022.Additional informationFundingThis research did not receive financial assistance from sponsors.Notes on contributorsDiah Kusuma ArumsariDiah Kusuma Arumsari, She is a research assistant in Hematology-Oncology Division, Department of Child Health, Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital, Surabaya, East Java, Indonesia.
