Description
Introduction:
When children are bullied, parental support is crucial for mitigating negative effects (Lereya et al., 2013). Research highlights how parents help their children cope, but little focuses on how parents themselves cope with their child's bullying. Research suggests that parents often feel anger, stress, and sadness, and lack adequate support from schools, turning to chat rooms for help (Harcourt et al.,2014). Such findings highlight the need for better support systems for parents to manage their own stress and well-being (Noret, 2023). But beyond that, there is limited and varied evidence on the impact of bullying on parents. Therefore the aim of this scoping review is to synthesise evidence examining the impact of a child being bullied on parents and how parents cope with their own feelings.
Methods:
This scoping review follows the PRISMA process of conducting and reporting reviews (Tricco et al., 2018). A range of search engines have been used to search for articles relating to a series of search terms relating to “parents”, “bullying” and “mental health”. At this time all papers identified have been screened and eleven papers have been identified for data inclusion in this scoping review.
Results:
A descriptive content analysis will focus on the factors associated with parental mental health in the context of their child being bullied. Results will be discussed focusing on key findings.
Conclusion:
As this is a scoping review, no direct conclusions are currently expected, but conclusions will be formed from the results.
