This article examines the trauma of Sudanese refugee children living in a Midwestern city from a social constructivist view. From a qualitative perspective, the study explored how the Sudanese children, their U.S. foster parents, and social workers from an American child welfare agency described their understanding of the migration experience. Results point to the importance of placing the children's trauma in the context of their own cultures, as child welfare workers assist in the children's adjustment to the United States.
本文从社会建构主义视角审视了生活在中西部城市的苏丹难民儿童所遭受的创伤。从定性的角度来看，该研究探讨了苏丹儿童、他们在美国的寄养父母以及一家美国儿童福利机构的社会工作者如何描述他们对移民经历的理解。结果表明，在儿童福利工作者帮助这些儿童适应美国生活的过程中，将儿童的创伤置于其自身文化背景下具有重要意义。
