The aim of the present study was to evaluate psychiatric problems and disorders among Yazidi Kurd refugee children and adolescents, who were assessed immediately after their forced migration following life-threatening attacks by ISIS terrorists.
We retrospectively analyzed the psychiatric assessments of 38 Yazidi children and adolescents (age 2-18, mean 12 years, m:f = 16:22), which were performed upon their arrival at the refugee camp.
All children and adolescents exhibited psychiatric problems and disorders, 50 % had one, and 50 % had more than one. The most relevant problems were disturbed sleeping (71 % of children), followed by depression (36.8 %), conversion disorders (28.9 %), adjustment (21.8 %), acute (18.4 %) and posttraumatic stress (PTSD, 10.5 %) disorders, and non-organic enuresis (18.4 %).
Our study confirms the results of previous studies, asserting that refugee children and adolescents do not just suffer from PTSD but from various other problems that are already present in the first days of resettlement. Children and adolescents living in refugee camps urgently need psychosocial support.
本研究的目的是评估雅兹迪库尔德难民儿童和青少年中的精神问题及障碍,这些儿童和青少年在遭受伊斯兰国恐怖分子危及生命的袭击后被迫迁移,随后立即接受了评估。
我们回顾性分析了38名雅兹迪儿童和青少年(年龄2至18岁,平均12岁,男:女 = 16:22)抵达难民营时进行的精神评估。
所有儿童和青少年均表现出精神问题及障碍,50%有一项问题,50%有多项问题。最相关的问题是睡眠障碍(71%的儿童),其次是抑郁(36.8%)、转换障碍(28.9%)、适应问题(21.8%)、急性应激障碍(18.4%)和创伤后应激障碍(PTSD,10.5%),以及非器质性遗尿症(18.4%)。
我们的研究证实了先前研究的结果,表明难民儿童和青少年不仅患有创伤后应激障碍,还存在安置初期就已出现的各种其他问题。生活在难民营中的儿童和青少年迫切需要心理社会支持。
