People seeking asylum are at an increased risk of mental disorder compared to refugees and other migrants. This paper aims to understand the impact of postmigration social-environmental factors to help inform efforts to reduce rates of mental disorder. We conducted a systematic review searching 11 databases, as well as 6 government and nongovernment websites. We asked 5 experts for recommendations, and carried out forwards and backwards citation tracking. From 7004 papers 21 were eligible and had the appropriate data. Narrative synthesis was conducted. 24 Social-environmental factors were identified and categorised into 7 themes: working conditions, social networks, economic class, living conditions, healthcare, community and identity, and the immigration system. Evidence suggests that discrimination and post-migration stress are associated with increased rates of mental disorder. The post-migration environment influences the mental health of people seeking asylum. Discrimination and post-migration stress are key factors, warranting further research and public attention.
与难民和其他移民相比,寻求庇护者患精神障碍的风险更高。本文旨在了解后移民社会环境因素的影响,以帮助减少精神障碍的发生率。我们进行了系统的文献检索,检索了 11 个数据库,以及 6 个政府和非政府网站。我们向 5 位专家征求了建议,并进行了追溯和回溯引文追踪。从 7004 篇论文中,有 21 篇符合条件并具有适当的数据。进行了叙述性综合。确定了 24 个社会环境因素,并将其分为 7 个主题:工作条件、社交网络、经济阶层、生活条件、医疗保健、社区和身份以及移民制度。有证据表明,歧视和后移民压力与精神障碍发生率的增加有关。后移民环境会影响寻求庇护者的心理健康。歧视和后移民压力是关键因素,值得进一步研究和引起公众关注。
