Jordan hosts more Palestinian refugees than any country in the world. Conditions under which people in a community live influence their health-related quality of life (HRQOL).
The purpose of this descriptive comparative cross-sectional study was to compare HRQOL of Palestinian refugees in Jordan who live inside camps with those who live outside camps.
Participants, recruited from inside the Baqa'a camp (n = 86) and the surrounding Abu Nsair community (n = 91), completed the World Health Organization Quality of Life Brief questionnaire.
There were disparities in education and social relations and environment HRQOL related to income and residency, but not gender, among refugees.
Refugees living inside camps, particularly if poorer, fared worse than refugees living outside camps. Enhanced programs and policies may be needed to improve HRQOL, education, and socioeconomics for camp refugees. Nursing's perspective on refugee health could make an important contribution to humanitarian efforts and health diplomacy.
约旦接纳的巴勒斯坦难民比世界上任何其他国家都多。社区中人们的生活条件会影响他们与健康相关的生活质量(HRQOL)。
这项描述性比较横断面研究的目的是比较约旦境内难民营内的巴勒斯坦难民与难民营外的巴勒斯坦难民的健康相关生活质量。
从巴卡难民营内(n = 86)和周边阿布奈塞尔社区(n = 91)招募参与者,他们完成了世界卫生组织生活质量简表问卷。
难民中在教育、社会关系以及与收入和居住相关的环境健康相关生活质量方面存在差异,但在性别方面不存在差异。
居住在难民营内的难民,尤其是较贫困的难民,其状况比居住在难民营外的难民更差。可能需要加强相关项目和政策,以改善难民营难民的健康相关生活质量、教育和社会经济状况。护理界对难民健康的看法可为人道主义努力和健康外交做出重要贡献。
