The social-emotional status and behavioral symptoms of Eritrean war orphans were compared before and after a major social reorganization of the institution had been implemented. The comparison was based on direct clinical observations and behavior checklist questionnaires. Two years after the orphanage was restructured, the emotional state of the orphans had improved dramatically. The findings suggest that even when financial and technical resources are severely limited, it is possible to provide humane group care for severely traumatized orphans by applying basic clinical principles of child development.
在对一所孤儿院进行重大社会重组前后，对厄立特里亚战争孤儿的社会情感状况和行为症状进行了比较。该比较基于直接临床观察和行为清单问卷。孤儿院重组两年后，孤儿的情绪状态有了显著改善。研究结果表明，即使财政和技术资源严重有限，通过应用儿童发展的基本临床原则，也有可能为受严重创伤的孤儿提供人道的集体照料。
