Abstract

Purpose
To increase a comprehensive understanding of the children’s mental health who have a parent with a mental illness in Korea.
Methods
The integrative review method by Whittemore and Knafl was applied. Online databases were searched that focused on children of a parent with a mental illness. The JBI Critical Appraisal Tools were used to assess the quality of the selected articles.

Fourteen articles were selected for the final data analysis. Majority of the articles addressed about the mental health issues and disadvantages that the children of a parent with a mental illness have. Compared to the mental health issues and disadvantages discussed, intervention programs were not much and the sample were not enough to achieve statistical significance.
