Abstract Despite the growing literature on LGBTQ + individuals’ mental health, there has been no publication of a systematic review focused exclusively on effective psychological interventions for same-sex couples (SSC). The aim of this review is to investigate whether there are any empirical quantitative studies evaluating the outcome of couple psychological interventions specifically delivered to SSC. Multiple databases were screened by two independent reviewers for studies published between Jan 1996-Dec 2017. Hand-searching included journals, books and grey literature. The PRISMA guidelines were followed. Pre-defined eligibility criteria, methodological quality assessments and qualitative synthesis of the results were applied. After reviewing 1,451 citations, 9 eligible studies were identified with 583 SSC. They represent five unique psychoeducational or psychotherapeutic interventions, namely Relationship Education, Couples HIV Testing and Counseling, Gottman Method Couples Therapy, Behavior Couples Therapy, and “Connect with Pride.” The overall risk of bias of included trials was moderate. Affirmative outcomes were related to high satisfaction with the interventions and improvements on multiple variables such as health-related behaviors, relationship enhancement, drug/alcohol abuse. The current review confirms that SSC are still underrepresented in couple outcome research. There is preliminary evidence of possible benefits regarding couple interventions for SSC.

同性伴侣的心理干预：系统评价

摘要 尽管关于 LGBTQ + 个人心理健康的文献越来越多，但还没有发表专门针对同性伴侣 (SSC) 有效心理干预的系统评价。本综述的目的是调查是否有任何实证定量研究评估专门提供给 SSC 的夫妇心理干预的结果。两名独立评审员针对 1996 年 1 月至 2017 年 12 月期间发表的研究筛选了多个数据库。手动搜索包括期刊、书籍和灰色文献。遵循了 PRISMA 指南。应用了预先定义的资格标准、方法学质量评估和结果的定性综合。在审查了 1,451 次引文后，确定了 9 项符合条件的研究，SSC 为 583。它们代表了五种独特的心理教育或心理治疗干预措施，即关系教育、夫妻艾滋病毒检测和咨询、戈特曼方法夫妻治疗、行为夫妻治疗和“与骄傲联系”。纳入试验的总体偏倚风险中等。积极的结果与对干预措施的高度满意和对多个变量的改善有关，例如健康相关行为、关系增强、药物/酒精滥用。目前的审查证实，SSC 在夫妻结果研究中的代表性仍然不足。有初步证据表明夫妻干预对 SSC 可能有益。和“与骄傲联系”。纳入试验的总体偏倚风险中等。积极的结果与对干预措施的高度满意以及对多个变量的改善有关，例如健康相关行为、关系增强、药物/酒精滥用。目前的审查证实，SSC 在夫妻结果研究中的代表性仍然不足。有初步证据表明夫妻干预对 SSC 可能有益。和“与骄傲联系”。纳入试验的总体偏倚风险中等。积极的结果与对干预措施的高度满意以及对多个变量的改善有关，例如健康相关行为、关系增强、药物/酒精滥用。目前的审查证实，SSC 在夫妻结果研究中的代表性仍然不足。有初步证据表明夫妻干预对 SSC 可能有益。
