Summary
Family-centered psychosocial interventions are crucial for disaster-affected children
Area of Science:
- Disaster mental health
- Child psychology
- Family systems
Background:
- Children face unique vulnerabilities in disasters, risking long-term psychosocial issues.
- Existing disaster support often lacks tailored, family-centered approaches for children.
- Family-Centered Care (FCC) principles are vital but inconsistently integrated into disaster response.
Purpose of the Study:
- To map and synthesize evidence on family-centered psychosocial interventions for disaster-affected children across developmental stages.
- To identify effective intervention strategies and gaps in current research.
- To inform the integration of FCC into disaster mental health systems.
Main Methods:
- Scoping review following PRISMA-ScR guidelines.
- Searched major databases (PubMed, MEDLINE, Scopus, etc.) for articles published 2016-2026.
- Included 11 studies (RCTs, quasi-experimental, mixed-methods) using PCC criteria (children 0-18, family-centered interventions, disaster settings).
Main Results:
- Interventions were developmentally differentiated and family-based.
- Play-based and dyadic interventions suited younger children; CBT and resilience approaches for older children.
- Caregiver wellbeing and family functioning improvements correlated with better child outcomes.
Conclusions:
- Family-centered psychosocial interventions must be developmentally tailored and support caregivers/families.
- Integrating FCC into disaster mental health systems enhances resilience and recovery.
- More research is needed for preschool children, adolescents, and long-term outcomes.

Community Based Intervention
Community-based interventions in mental health represent a paradigm shift from institution-centered care to treatments embedded within the fabric of local communities. By prioritizing inclusion and leveraging existing societal structures, this approach fosters a supportive environment conducive to addressing mental health challenges while promoting individual dignity and agency.

Socioemotional Development during Infancy
Socio-emotional development in infancy is primarily shaped by early emotional responses and social connections, with temperament playing a central role. Temperament refers to the consistent patterns in an individual's emotional and behavioral responses, observable even in infancy. By examining temperament, researchers can better understand an infant's unique ways of interacting with the world, influencing subsequent personality and socio-emotional growth.

Autism Spectrum Disorder
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition marked by persistent deficits in social communication and interaction alongside restrictive and repetitive behaviors or interests. ASD is sometimes accompanied by intellectual impairment.
These core symptoms manifest differently among individuals, ranging from mild to severe. The disorder's complexity extends beyond its clinical presentation, encompassing a diverse range of biological, cognitive, and sociocultural influences.

Family Therapy
Family therapy conceptualizes psychological challenges as arising from dysfunctional interactions within the family unit, rather than as isolated issues within individuals. This approach seeks to address and transform the patterns of communication, roles, and relationships within families to promote healthier dynamics and emotional well-being for all members.

Erikson's Theory on Socioemotional Development during Childhood
Erik Erikson, a stage theorist, adapted Freud's theory to emphasize social factors in personality development throughout life, a concept known as psychosocial development. Unlike Freud, who focused on early childhood, Erikson believed that personality evolves across eight life stages, each marked by a specific challenge or "crisis." Successful resolution of each stage fosters competence, while failure may lead to feelings of inadequacy.

Parenting Styles
Diana Baumrind's four parenting styles — authoritarian, authoritative, neglectful, and permissive — each influence children's socio-emotional development differently.
Authoritarian Parenting
This style is strict and controlling, with little room for open dialogue. Authoritarian parents demand obedience and often enforce rules with minimal warmth. Children raised this way may lack social skills and initiative, usually comparing themselves to others unfavorably.
