Gender-based violence (GBV) and absent fathers are two epidemics that affect women and children in sub-Saharan Africa. However, the understanding of the complex links between GBV and absent fathers is currently inadequate. The aim of the study is to provide an overview of documented evidence that links GBV and absent fathers as well as identifies areas that require systematic review and where more primary research is needed.
The search strategy for this scoping review study will involve electronic databases including: Academic Search Premier, Ingenta, Kluwer Online, PsycARTICLES (EBSCO), PsycINFO (EBSCO), Social Work Abstracts and Sociological Collection. The studies will be mapped in 2 stages: stage 1 will map studies descriptively by focus and method; stage 2 will involve additional inclusion criteria, quality assessment and data extraction undertaken by two reviewers in parallel. A thematic analysis of the studies will be carried out to extract relevant outcomes using NVIVO.
We anticipate finding a large number of studies on GBV diagnostic interventions in sub-Saharan Africa which, once summarised, will be useful to guide future research. The protocol for the scoping review has been registered in PROSPERO.
The study will be disseminated electronically and in print. It will also be presented to conferences related to GBV, Father Connections and Children's Health.

性别暴力和父亲缺失是影响撒哈拉以南非洲妇女和儿童的两大问题。然而,目前对性别暴力与父亲缺失之间复杂联系的理解还不够充分。本研究的目的是概述将性别暴力与父亲缺失联系起来的文献证据,并确定需要进行系统综述以及需要更多原始研究的领域。
本范围综述研究的检索策略将涉及电子数据库,包括:学术搜索高级版、Ingenta、Kluwer在线、PsycARTICLES(EBSCO)、PsycINFO(EBSCO)、社会工作摘要和社会学文集。研究将分两个阶段进行梳理:第一阶段将按重点和方法对研究进行描述性梳理;第二阶段将由两名评审员并行进行额外的纳入标准、质量评估和数据提取。将使用NVIVO对研究进行主题分析,以提取相关结果。
我们预计会发现大量关于撒哈拉以南非洲性别暴力诊断干预措施的研究,一旦汇总,将有助于指导未来的研究。范围综述方案已在PROSPERO注册。
本研究将以电子和印刷形式传播。它还将在与性别暴力、父亲关系和儿童健康相关的会议上发表。
