Various systematic reviews underscore the relevance of social support for resilience among refugees. This meta-analysis aims to determine the quantitative assessment of social support and resilience among refugees and the extent of the associations between social support and resilience among refugees. After a systematic literature search, we included twenty-three studies, and performed random-effects meta-regressions. Studies on resilience and social support among refugees very heterogeneously operationalize both constructs. While increases in social support among refugees accompany higher resilience in numerous studies, these associations are not significant. In contrast to previous reviews' conclusions, the current data cannot confirm a relationship between resilience and social support among refugees. Substantiated conclusions about the relationship between resilience and social support among refugees might be reached by a population-specific clear conceptualization and operationalization of the constructs, the content differentiation of the constructs, representative samples, and longitudinal and intervention studies.
多项系统评价强调了社会支持对难民恢复力的相关性。本荟萃分析旨在确定难民社会支持和恢复力的定量评估，以及难民社会支持与恢复力之间关联的程度。经过系统的文献检索，我们纳入了23项研究，并进行了随机效应元回归分析。关于难民恢复力和社会支持的研究对这两个概念的操作化非常不一致。虽然在许多研究中，难民社会支持的增加伴随着更高的恢复力，但这些关联并不显著。与以往综述的结论相反，目前的数据无法证实难民恢复力与社会支持之间的关系。通过对这些概念进行针对特定人群的清晰概念化和操作化、概念的内容区分、代表性样本以及纵向和干预研究，可能会得出关于难民恢复力与社会支持之间关系的确凿结论。
