Abstract
Objective: Teachers should use risk and protective factors that influence the adjustment of children’s mental health after legal guardians’ as well as parents’ separation or divorce (PSOD) to adjust the school environment to prevent mental health issues. The purpose of this study is to provide this knowledge and propose corresponding changes to the school environment. Methods: A systematic review on this association is conducted which searches for quantitative articles from 2005 to 2022 to produce strong guidance. Four databases are searched with keywords that yield 1453 results. 10 of these studies are included in the analysis. Results: Five group patterns of risk and protective factors are identified. They are used to propose changes to the school environment such as awareness and communication training for consulting teachers, resilience and coping training especially for younger pupils as well as providing time for play and a sense of achievement so that pupils can focus their attention on other aspects and pupils and parents can activate protective resources. To consult early, schools should provide sex education which deals with healthy relationships so that pupils realize unhealthy patterns in their parents’ relationship and complement this with different communication channels for parents and pupils for a low barrier offer of help. Conclusion: The findings suggest incorporating the proposed changes to provide a school environment that lets pupils develop their mental health amidst the effects of PSOD. Further research should develop a guideline so that the proposed changes can easily be applied. Moreover, future research should investigate how a drop in pupils’ learning outcomes can be prevented and how a response-to-intervention-model (RTI) can incorporate both this and the findings of this study.
