Surviving a warzone inflicts harmful consequences on the physical health and the psychosocial wellbeing of children. This study aimed at exploring the physical and psychosocial perceived state of health of displaced Syrian refugee children in Jordan.
A cross-sectional explorative design was applied. Structured questionnaires were used to collect data through face-to-face interviews with 250 Syrian refugee children. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used.
Children had fair levels of physical health; their health concerns were minor. Psychosocially, 25% (n = 63) suffered from loneliness and 24% (n = 59) reported feeling depressed. The majority of children (>60%) had low rates of somatic pain. Age had a negative correlation with hyperactivity (r = -.14, p = .034); gender differences were found in anger expression and anger trait (p < .05).
The results in this study highlight a number of physical and psychosocial health concerns among refugee children. The health needs of displaced Syrian children need to be addressed using comprehensive assessment and care. Our findings documented the physical and psychosocial health needs of the displaced Syrian children in Jordan and addressed areas of focus to guide health promotion interventions and community health efforts for them.
在战区幸存会给儿童的身体健康和心理社会福祉带来有害影响。本研究旨在探讨约旦境内流离失所的叙利亚难民儿童的身体和心理社会健康感知状况。
采用横断面探索性设计。通过与250名叙利亚难民儿童进行面对面访谈，使用结构化问卷收集数据。运用描述性和推断性统计方法。
儿童的身体健康水平一般；他们的健康问题较小。在心理社会方面，25%（n = 63）的儿童感到孤独，24%（n = 59）的儿童表示感到沮丧。大多数儿童（>60%）的躯体疼痛发生率较低。年龄与多动呈负相关（r = -.14，p = .034）；在愤怒表达和愤怒特质方面存在性别差异（p < .05）。
本研究结果凸显了难民儿童在身体和心理社会方面的一些健康问题。需要通过全面评估和护理来满足流离失所的叙利亚儿童的健康需求。我们的研究结果记录了约旦境内流离失所的叙利亚儿童的身体和心理社会健康需求，并确定了重点关注领域，以指导针对他们的健康促进干预措施和社区卫生工作。
