Abstract

The mental health of women has been largely neglected in the refugee literature, notwithstanding the specific gender-related issues that confront women seeking asylum. Furthermore, a specific category of women, deemed to be women-at-risk, face particular challenges in their journey and resettlement process. This longitudinal study investigated psychological distress in refugee women-at-risk one year after resettlement in Australia. Follow-up survey of 83 women-at-risk (mean age = 33.41 years;  = 11.93) assessed: trauma events and symptoms; loss events and loss distress; level of post-migration problems; anxiety, depression, and somatic symptoms; and absence of trust in community members. Participants demonstrated no symptom change since initial assessment ( > .05). Substantial proportions of women reported traumatization (39%), PTSD (20%), anxiety (32%), and depression (39%) above clinical cut-offs, and high levels of somatization and loss distress. Post-migration problems, trauma events, and region of birth were associated with all symptoms, with post-migration problems the strongest predictor. Absence of trust in community members was associated with trauma, depression, and somatic symptoms. Initial trauma and somatic symptoms were associated with follow-up traumatic and somatic symptoms. Loss and trauma events were associated with loss distress. Findings underline the role of post-migration problems on psychological distress and the need to consider women's psychological wellbeing in the context of their trauma and loss history, potential impacts of ethnicity, and complex socio-cultural dynamics underpinning issues of trust within communities. Effective service delivery requires that practitioners screen for and address psychological distress in women-at-risk at least up to 18 months after resettlement.

摘要

尽管寻求庇护的女性面临着与性别相关的特定问题,但难民文献在很大程度上忽视了女性的心理健康。此外,有一类被视为高危女性的特定群体,在她们的旅程和重新安置过程中面临着特殊的挑战。这项纵向研究调查了在澳大利亚重新安置一年后的高危难民女性的心理困扰情况。对83名高危女性(平均年龄 = 33.41岁;标准差 = 11.93)进行的随访调查评估了:创伤事件及症状;丧失事件及丧失困扰;移民后问题的程度;焦虑、抑郁和躯体症状;以及对社区成员缺乏信任。自初始评估以来,参与者的症状没有变化(p > .05)。相当比例的女性报告称,其创伤(39%)、创伤后应激障碍(20%)、焦虑(32%)和抑郁(39%)高于临床临界值,且躯体化和丧失困扰程度较高。移民后问题、创伤事件和出生地区与所有症状均相关,其中移民后问题是最强的预测因素。对社区成员缺乏信任与创伤、抑郁和躯体症状相关。初始创伤和躯体症状与随访时的创伤和躯体症状相关。丧失和创伤事件与丧失困扰相关。研究结果强调了移民后问题对心理困扰的作用,以及在考虑女性创伤和丧失史、种族潜在影响以及社区内信任问题背后复杂的社会文化动态的背景下,关注女性心理健康的必要性。有效的服务提供要求从业者至少在重新安置后的18个月内筛查并解决高危女性的心理困扰问题。
