Community violence exposure is essential when considering African American male adult health outcomes. This integrative review of literature is guided by the research questions: (a) How has community violence been measured in African American male adults? and (b) What impact does community violence have on African America male health outcomes? This study synthesises eight current articles identified by the search terms-community violence, impact, African Americans, care, and men. Of the eight identified articles, there were quantitative (n = 5), qualitative (n = 1) and mixed methods (n = 2). Findings indicate a wide array of screening tools for violent experiences and highlight the potential negative impacts of violence in communities; however, literature regarding strategies for identification and treatment of psychosocial and physical health status of African American male adults experiencing direct and indirect community violence remains limited. Further work in clinical care and community health settings related to violence is warranted.
当考虑非裔美国成年男性的健康结果时，社区暴力暴露是至关重要的。本文献综述的研究问题是：(a) 社区暴力如何在非裔美国成年男性中进行测量？(b) 社区暴力对非裔美国男性健康结果有什么影响？本研究综合了通过搜索词-社区暴力、影响、非裔美国人、护理和男性-确定的八篇现有文章。在确定的八篇文章中，有五篇是定量的(n=5)，一篇是定性的(n=1)，还有两篇是混合方法的(n=2)。研究结果表明，存在广泛的暴力经历筛查工具，并强调了社区暴力的潜在负面影响；然而，关于识别和治疗经历直接和间接社区暴力的非裔美国成年男性的心理社会和身体健康状况的文献仍然有限。在与暴力有关的临床护理和社区卫生环境中，需要进一步开展工作。
