Asylum-seekers experience high levels of traumatic events pre-, post- and during migration. Poly-traumatisation is associated with complex post-traumatic stress disorder (CPTSD), which has not yet been extensively explored in this population. CPTSD is a prevalent and highly disabling disorder in the present population requiring culturally sensitive diagnostic and treatment approaches. In this service evaluation, we evidence the high prevalence of CPTSD in an asylum-seeking sample and its association with greater distress compared with PTSD. We outline the treatment needs of asylum seekers with CPTSD.
寻求庇护者在移民前、移民后以及移民期间经历了大量创伤性事件。多重创伤与复杂创伤后应激障碍(CPTSD)相关,而这在该人群中尚未得到广泛研究。CPTSD在当前人群中是一种普遍且极具致残性的疾病,需要采用具有文化敏感性的诊断和治疗方法。在这项服务评估中,我们证明了在寻求庇护者样本中CPTSD的高患病率及其与创伤后应激障碍(PTSD)相比更大的痛苦程度之间的关联。我们概述了患有CPTSD的寻求庇护者的治疗需求。
