Abstract

Fifty-one Sri Lankan Tamil refugees/displaced persons living in South India completed the Hopkins Symptom Checklist-58. In addition, in interviews they answered open-ended questions about personal loss, personal traumatic experiences, negative feelings, living in camps, and the availability of support. The health of the respondents was poor. Moreover, experiences such as watching the killing of family members and being wounded were mentioned as reasons to flee. Many respondents said they experienced negative feelings. Social support was reasonably available although family members were often not situated in the same camp.

摘要

51名居住在印度南部的斯里兰卡泰米尔难民/流离失所者完成了霍普金斯症状清单-58。此外，在访谈中，他们回答了关于个人损失、个人创伤经历、负面情绪、在营地生活以及支持的可获得性等开放式问题。受访者的健康状况不佳。此外，目睹家庭成员被杀和受伤等经历被提及为逃离的原因。许多受访者表示他们经历了负面情绪。尽管家庭成员通常不在同一个营地，但社会支持还是比较容易获得的。
