This study investigated the psychometric properties of the time-efficient Refugee Health Screener (RHS-13 and RHS-15) for assessing mental disorders among Syrian refugees in Germany. The RHS-15 was compared with benchmark screeners on psychological distress such as depression, anxiety, somatisation and post-traumatic stress symptoms and its diagnostic quality was assessed using appropriate methods (e. g. ROC-analyses). Participants were 116 Syrian refugees (age: M = 37), 69 % of them men. The RHS-13 screened 57 % and the RHS-15 screened 66 % of participants as positive for psychological distress. Both RHS versions had very good reliability and validity and reliably identified clinically relevant psychological problems related to depression, anxiety, somatisation or PTSD. The RHS-13 proved to be more economical and slightly more valid. Consistent with previous findings, our results suggest that the RHS is an efficient and valid screening tool for common mental health disorders among Syrian refugees in Germany.
本研究调查了高效难民健康筛查工具（RHS - 13和RHS - 15）在评估德国叙利亚难民精神障碍方面的心理测量特性。将RHS - 15与用于评估心理困扰（如抑郁、焦虑、躯体化和创伤后应激症状）的基准筛查工具进行比较，并使用适当方法（如ROC分析）评估其诊断质量。参与者为116名叙利亚难民（年龄：M = 37岁），其中69%为男性。RHS - 13筛查出57%的参与者心理困扰呈阳性，RHS - 15筛查出66%的参与者心理困扰呈阳性。两个RHS版本都具有非常好的信度和效度，能够可靠地识别与抑郁、焦虑、躯体化或创伤后应激障碍相关的临床相关心理问题。结果证明RHS - 13更经济且效度略高。与先前的研究结果一致，我们的研究结果表明，RHS是评估德国叙利亚难民常见心理健康障碍的一种有效且高效的筛查工具。
