Representation from six continents highlights as a global phenomenon. Using thematic analysis, we identified five themes qualitative quantitative studies. These were further integrated into four common themes: (1) some parentified experienced positive outcomes (e.g., coping), albeit constructs varied; (2) mitigate additional trauma, employed various protective strategies; (3) negative by included internalizing behaviors, externalizing problems, compromised physical health; (4) youths' characteristics rejection sensitivity, attachment style), perceived benefits, supports influenced outcomes.
