Within the present study we investigated prevalence rates of psychological symptoms in underage and full-age unaccompanied refugees in youth welfare institutions.
Sociodemographic characteristics and mental health problems in the areas of emotion and behavior were assessed using screening data from both self-reports and caregiver reports of 105 youths.
Symptoms of depression (42 %), behavior (35 %) and posttraumatic stress (32 %) were most frequently reported. There were no significant differences in frequencies of psychological symptoms between groups of underage and full-age unaccompanied refugees. Whereas youth reported more problems with peers, caregivers reported more psychological problems of youths in the areas of emotion, behavior, and hyperactivity.
The data underline the need for psychological interventions of young unaccompanied refugees.
在本研究中,我们调查了青年福利机构中未成年和成年无人陪伴难民的心理症状患病率。
使用105名青少年的自我报告和照料者报告的筛查数据,评估社会人口学特征以及情绪和行为方面的心理健康问题。
最常报告的症状是抑郁(42%)、行为问题(35%)和创伤后应激(32%)。未成年和成年无人陪伴难民组之间心理症状的发生率没有显著差异。青少年报告与同伴相处的问题更多,而照料者报告青少年在情绪、行为和多动方面的心理问题更多。
数据强调了对无人陪伴的年轻难民进行心理干预的必要性。
