Type: article
Abstract: The increasing prevalence of adolescent psychological health issues worldwide has become a significant public health concern affecting the future. Families, as the primary environment providing material and emotional support for adolescent development, play a crucial role in fostering growth and psychological well-being. This study employed a literature review methodology, using keywords such as family dysfunction, adolescents, and psychological health, to search for definitions of family dysfunction and relevant literature about its effects on adolescents' psychological health. The review study summarized the definitions of family dysfunction, related research, and its impact on adolescent psychological health. The findings suggest that addressing the impact of family dysfunction on adolescent psychological health effectively requires collaborative efforts from families, schools, and society. Establishing collaborative prevention and intervention mechanisms among family, schools and society, providing educational programs to improve family function, and adopting family-centered intervention strategies are essential steps toward solving this critical issue.
