An inclusive conceptualization of "family" can enable family-serving systems and professionals to leverage high-quality family relationships, wherever they are found, to support the health and well-being of individuals. Stepfamilies are an especially common family form with distinct needs and experiences, and stepparent-child relationships can take on a variety of functions with implications for family stability and individual well-being. The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to synthesize empirical associations between stepparent-child relationships and child outcomes. General findings from 56 studies highlighted significant associations between several dimensions of stepparent-child relationships and children's psychological, behavioral, social, academic, and physical well-being. Meta-analytic findings from 68 effect-size estimates further substantiated significant and positive associations between stepparent-child relationship quality and child psychological well-being (mean = .25) and academic well-being (mean = .23), as well as significant and negative associations between stepparent-child relationship quality and child psychological problems (mean = -.23) and behavioral problems (mean = -.19).
“家庭”的包容性概念可以使家庭服务系统和专业人员利用高质量的家庭关系，无论它们在哪里，以支持个人的健康和幸福。继亲家庭是一种特别常见的家庭形式，具有独特的需求和经历，继父母与子女的关系可以具有多种功能，对家庭稳定性和个人幸福产生影响。本系统评价和荟萃分析的目的是综合继父母与子女关系与儿童结果之间的经验关联。56 项研究的综合结果强调了继父母与子女关系的几个维度与儿童心理、行为、社会、学业和身体健康之间存在显著关联。68 个效应量估计的荟萃分析结果进一步证实了继父母与子女关系质量与儿童心理健康（均值 =.25）和学业成绩（均值 =.23）之间存在显著正相关，以及继父母与子女关系质量与儿童心理问题（均值 = -.23）和行为问题（均值 = -.19）之间存在显著负相关。
