Despite the research on left-behind children, less is known about left-behind women across transnational spaces. The purpose of this scoping review was to assess the extent, range, and nature of the existing body of literature on left-behind women whose partners have migrated across borders. This scoping review was guided by the five-step approach of Arksey and O'Malley. Fifty-four articles that focused on left-behind women across transnational spaces were included. Data were synthesized using descriptive statistics and conventional content analysis. Left-behind women were primarily from Mexico ( = 13) and the migrants' place of destination was primarily the United States ( = 14). We identified two major themes: (a) women's and (b) . We identified significant knowledge gaps regarding left-behind women in the context of transnational migration. Implications for future research and practice are discussed.
尽管已经有很多关于留守儿童的研究，但跨境留守妇女的相关研究却相对较少。本研究旨在评估现有文献中关于跨境留守妇女的范围、种类和性质，这些妇女的伴侣已经跨越边界移民。本研究采用 Arksey 和 O'Malley 的五步方法进行。共有 54 篇文章聚焦于跨境留守妇女。采用描述性统计和常规内容分析来综合数据。留守妇女主要来自墨西哥（n=13），移民的目的地主要是美国（n=14）。我们确定了两个主要主题：（a）妇女的和（b）。我们发现，在跨境移民背景下，有关留守妇女的知识存在重大空白。讨论了对未来研究和实践的启示。
