This review provides an overview of recent literature examining psychological problems in the context of political violence among Afghan children.
Using recent literature (2018-2023) we identified: 1) heightened levels of psychological problems experienced by children in Afghanistan; 2) the factors associated with these psychological problems, including loss of family and community members, poverty, continuous risk of injury and death, gender, substance use, war, daily stressors, and poor access to education; 3) psychological problems have potentially worsened since the 2021 political changes; 4) conflict and poverty have resulted in violence against children being a serious issue; 5) emerging psychological interventions have been adapted to Afghan contexts; and 6) there is a desperate need for psychological assistance and further research in the region. All children in Afghanistan have experienced conflict and political violence. While children are not responsible for this conflict, it has impacted their mental health. Further research is needed to examine the development and evaluation of interventions.
本文综述了最近有关阿富汗儿童在政治暴力背景下心理问题的文献，旨在对此提供概述。
利用最近的文献（2018-2023 年），我们发现：1）阿富汗儿童经历的心理问题程度较高；2）与这些心理问题相关的因素，包括失去家人和社区成员、贫困、持续面临受伤和死亡的风险、性别、物质使用、战争、日常压力源以及缺乏教育；3）自 2021 年政治变革以来，心理问题可能恶化；4）冲突和贫困导致针对儿童的暴力成为一个严重问题；5）新兴的心理干预措施已适应阿富汗背景；6）该地区迫切需要心理援助和进一步的研究。阿富汗所有儿童都经历过冲突和政治暴力。尽管儿童不应为这场冲突负责，但它已对其心理健康产生影响。需要进一步研究来检验干预措施的发展和评估。
