Earlier reviews to discover research on interventions for children after neglect have concluded little was available, despite the well-documented prevalence and harmful effects of neglect on children. We revisited this question through a systematic literature review to discover the state of research on interventions for children who have experienced neglect. We searched MEDLINE, PsycINFO, ERIC, Sociological Abstracts and EMBASE for studies published between 2003 and 2021. Studies were included if neglect could be distinguished, and child outcomes reported. Eight reports describing six studies about six interventions were identified. These studies differed in interventions, age-groups, definitions of neglect, and outcomes. Four studies reported positive child outcomes though with varying degree of quality. More research is needed to inform a coherent theory of change following neglect. There remains an urgent need for research on interventions to help children recover from neglect.
早期的研究旨在发现针对被忽视儿童的干预措施，但结论是几乎没有相关研究，尽管忽视对儿童的普遍存在和有害影响已有充分记录。我们通过系统文献回顾来重新探讨这个问题，以了解针对遭受忽视的儿童的干预措施的研究现状。我们在 MEDLINE、PsycINFO、ERIC、Sociological Abstracts 和 EMBASE 中搜索了 2003 年至 2021 年期间发表的研究。如果可以区分忽视，并报告儿童结果，则纳入研究。确定了八项报告描述了六项干预措施的六项研究。这些研究在干预措施、年龄组、忽视定义和结果方面存在差异。四项研究报告了积极的儿童结果，但质量参差不齐。需要更多的研究来为忽视后的变革理论提供信息。对于帮助儿童从忽视中恢复的干预措施，仍迫切需要开展研究。
