Naturalistic interventions with refugee populations examine outcomes following mental health interventions in existing refugee service organisations. The current review aimed to examine outcomes of naturalistic interventions and quality of the naturalistic intervention literature in refugee populations with the view to highlight the strengths and limitations of naturalistic intervention studies. Database search was conducted using the search terms 'refugee', 'asylum seeker', 'treatment', 'therapy' and 'intervention. No date limitations were applied, but searches were limited to articles written in English. Seven studies were identified that assessed the outcome of naturalistic interventions on adult refugees or asylum seekers in a country of resettlement using quantitative outcome measures. Results showed significant variation in the outcomes of naturalistic intervention studies, with a trend towards showing decreased symptomatology at post-intervention. However, conclusions are limited by methodological problems of the studies reviewed, particularly poor documentation of intervention methods and lack of control in the design of naturalistic intervention studies. Further examination of outcomes following naturalistic interventions is needed with studies which focus on increasing the rigour of the outcome assessment process.
针对难民群体的自然主义干预研究考察了现有难民服务机构中心理健康干预后的结果。当前的综述旨在考察自然主义干预的结果以及难民群体中自然主义干预文献的质量，以突出自然主义干预研究的优势和局限性。使用“难民”“寻求庇护者”“治疗”“疗法”和“干预”等检索词进行数据库搜索。未设置日期限制，但搜索仅限于英文撰写的文章。共识别出七项研究，这些研究使用定量结果测量方法评估了在重新安置国对成年难民或寻求庇护者进行自然主义干预的结果。结果显示，自然主义干预研究的结果存在显著差异，干预后症状有减轻的趋势。然而，所综述研究的方法学问题限制了结论，特别是干预方法记录不完善以及自然主义干预研究设计缺乏对照。需要通过专注于提高结果评估过程严谨性的研究，进一步考察自然主义干预后的结果。
