Pınar Duru et al. Perspect Psychiatr Care. 2022 Oct.

Abstract

Purpose: To develop analytical themes through a descriptive synthesis of qualitative studies to create a broader and more conscious understanding of the before processes in early and forced marriages.

Methods: Twenty-five qualitative studies were analyzed and synthesized according to meta-synthesis methods.

Findings: The analytical themes of the main theme "The process leading to early and forced marriages" were divided into four groups as cognitive, affective, behavioral, and cultural reflections.

Practice implications: The study results emphasize the need to consider the links between cognitive, affective, behavioral, and cultural reflections of the process that led to marriages for preventing early and forced marriages.

Keywords: child marriage; early and forced marriage; meta-synthesis; qualitative research.
