Adolescents living with HIV/AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa have heightened risk for mental health and psychosocial burden owing to their exposure to a multiplicity of adverse conditions such as stigma and discrimination. However, there is no comprehensive evidence synthesis and evaluation of the effectiveness of mental health interventions for adolescents living with HIV/AIDS in this region. We aim to conduct a systematic review to synthesise the literature on existing mental health interventions for adolescents living with HIV/AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa.
This review will follow the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses reporting guidelines. Eligible studies will include those investigating the effectiveness of psychosocial, psychological or other forms of interventions on mental health outcomes, conducted in sub-Saharan African countries and involving adolescents (aged 10-19 years) living with HIV/AIDS. Comprehensive searches will be conducted in electronic databases (PubMed, MEDLINE, CINAHL, Scopus and PsycINFO) and grey literature sources. The search will be restricted to studies published from 2004 onwards and in the English language. Study authors will be contacted, and reference lists of retrieved articles will be reviewed for additional papers. Study selection and data extraction will be performed by two independent reviewers, with any disagreements resolved by consensus or involving a third party. A narrative synthesis will be conducted, and if possible, meta-analyses will be performed to estimate the overall effect sizes of interventions on mental health outcomes. Eligible studies will undergo quality assessment using standardised criteria appropriate for each respective study design.
No primary data collection will be undertaken; therefore, no ethical approval is required. The findings of this review will be disseminated through publication in a peer-reviewed journal and presented at relevant conferences.

撒哈拉以南非洲地区感染艾滋病毒/艾滋病的青少年由于面临耻辱和歧视等多种不利状况,心理健康和心理社会负担风险更高。然而,目前尚无关于该地区感染艾滋病毒/艾滋病青少年心理健康干预措施有效性的全面证据综合与评估。我们旨在进行一项系统综述,以综合有关撒哈拉以南非洲地区感染艾滋病毒/艾滋病青少年现有心理健康干预措施的文献。
本综述将遵循系统评价和Meta分析的首选报告项目报告指南。符合条件的研究将包括那些在撒哈拉以南非洲国家进行的、针对感染艾滋病毒/艾滋病的青少年(10至19岁),调查心理社会、心理或其他形式干预对心理健康结果有效性的研究。将在电子数据库(PubMed、MEDLINE、CINAHL、Scopus和PsycINFO)和灰色文献来源中进行全面检索。检索将限于2004年以后发表的英文研究。将联系研究作者,并查阅检索文章的参考文献列表以获取更多论文。研究选择和数据提取将由两名独立评审员进行,任何分歧将通过协商一致解决或由第三方参与解决。将进行叙述性综合,如果可能,将进行Meta分析以估计干预对心理健康结果的总体效应大小。符合条件的研究将使用适合各自研究设计的标准化标准进行质量评估。
不进行原始数据收集;因此,无需伦理批准。本综述的结果将通过在同行评审期刊上发表以及在相关会议上展示进行传播。
