摘　　要：Background Conflicts,natural disasters,and complex emergencies present substantial health challenges to United Nations(UN)peacekeepers deployed in mission areas.This scoping review aims at summarizing previous research on the health of UN peacekeepers and identifies issues for further investigation.Methods Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses(PRISMA)extension for Scoping Reviews,we systematically searched Web of Science,PubMed,EMBASE,Scopus and China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI)for English and Chinese literature published from April 1997 to November 2023.A data charting form was developed by two reviewers to extract relevant themes and provided narrative descriptions.Results We screened 1079 de-duplicated records and included 143 studies in this scoping review.There were 112 studies on the health status of UN peacekeepers,with more than half on mental health problems such as stress and anxiety.Many studies explored the health status of UN peacekeepers in African countries deployed from mainly U.S.,Canada,U.K.,China,Australia and Norway.There were 39 studies on the health risk factors of UN peacekeepers,including natural environmental,social environmental,psychological,behavioral lifestyle,biological factors and health service factors.There were 62 articles on the health protection of UN peacekeepers,mainly based on previous deploy-ment experience,with a lack of theoretical guidance from global health perspectives.This scoping review found that health problems of UN peacekeepers are complicated,and whose impacts are cross-border.Social environmental factors were explored the most among health risk factors.Disease prevention measures,medical and health meas-ures,and psychosocial measures were the main health protection for UN peacekeepers.Conclusions This scoping review highlighted that health problems of UN peacekeepers were typical global health issues with complicated and cross-border health risk factors.Therefore,comprehensive strategies could be taken from
