Children of divorce.

Each year over 1 million children are affected by divorce. Although usually considered a sociological problem, divorce is a major crisis for those involved, and the effects clearly have implications for mental as well as physical health. For children, the changed relationships with both parents and altered support systems and lifestyle disrupt psychosocial development.Only in the past 10 years have researchers begun to study systematically the short- and long-term effects of divorce on children. This paper presents an overview of the current research literature on children and divorce and describes children's responses at various developmental stages, including acute reactions and effects over time. Awareness of these findings enables pediatric nurses to make appropriate assessments and interventions for children of divorce.
