The purpose of this scoping review is to identify and describe the existing literature on the impact of the overarching awareness and concerns of climate change on children's mental health and well-being.
Children are widely acknowledged as being disproportionately at risk to the effects of climate change, yet research overlooks the impact that climate change has on their mental health. Children's overarching awareness of climate change, and its global effects, may influence their mental health and well-being.
This review will include all research that addresses school-aged children's (aged 3-19) mental-health issues stemming from an awareness of climate change. It will not include research that examines direct impacts of climate change on children's mental health, such as trauma from a specific climate-related event.
Searches will be conducted across eight research databases (Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, CINAHL, Embase, GreenFILE, PubMed, PsycINFO, Web of Science, and Scopus) and three unpublished/gray literature databases (ProQuest Dissertations and Theses, GreyLit.org, and OpenGrey). Data will be extracted for author(s), year of publication, country of origin, purpose, population, methodology, concepts of interest, outcomes, and key findings relating to the scoping review objectives. Findings will be presented as a narrative summary.
本范围综述旨在确定并描述现有关于气候变化整体意识和担忧对儿童心理健康和福祉影响的文献。
儿童被广泛认为是气候变化影响的不成比例的高危人群，但研究忽视了气候变化对他们心理健康的影响。儿童对气候变化的整体认识及其全球影响可能会影响他们的心理健康和福祉。
本综述将包括所有研究，这些研究涉及学龄儿童（3-19 岁）因意识到气候变化而产生的心理健康问题。它不包括研究气候变化对儿童心理健康的直接影响，例如与特定气候相关事件有关的创伤。
将在八个研究数据库（Cochrane 系统评价数据库、CINAHL、Embase、GreenFILE、PubMed、PsycINFO、Web of Science 和 Scopus）和三个未发表/灰色文献数据库（ProQuest 学位论文和论文、GreyLit.org 和 OpenGrey）中进行搜索。将提取作者、出版年份、原籍国、目的、人口、方法、感兴趣的概念、结果以及与范围综述目标相关的主要发现的数据。研究结果将以叙述性摘要的形式呈现。
