The mental status of 27 children in divorced immigrant families and 17 children in divorced refugee families was examined, and compared to that of 113 children in divorced Swedish families. Differences in divorce-pattern between these families and Swedish divorced families were analysed. Viewed together, the immigrant and refugee children displayed a significantly higher symptom load compared to Swedish children from both divorced and intact homes. When examined separately, the refugee children but not the immigrant children were more troubled than Swedish children from divorced families. The shorter time the children had spent in Sweden, the higher was their symptom load. In comparison to Swedish divorced couples, the immigrant and refugee couples had been married for a shorter time, had been unhappy for a longer time prior to divorce, and joint custody was less common. Most of the marriages had been unhappy before the arrival in Sweden, but a dissolution had not been seen as feasible earlier. As among the Swedish couples, it was the woman who had initiated the divorce in most cases, and it was also the mother who became the residential parent in most cases.
对27名离异移民家庭儿童和17名离异难民家庭儿童的心理状况进行了检查，并与113名瑞典离异家庭儿童的心理状况进行了比较。分析了这些家庭与瑞典离异家庭在离婚模式上的差异。综合来看，移民儿童和难民儿童的症状负荷明显高于来自离异家庭和完整家庭的瑞典儿童。单独检查时，难民儿童而非移民儿童比瑞典离异家庭的儿童问题更多。儿童在瑞典生活的时间越短，其症状负荷就越高。与瑞典离异夫妇相比，移民夫妇和难民夫妇的婚姻持续时间较短，离婚前不幸福的时间较长，共同监护的情况较少。大多数婚姻在抵达瑞典之前就不幸福，但之前一直认为离婚不可行。与瑞典夫妇一样，在大多数情况下是女性提出离婚，而且在大多数情况下也是母亲成为居住监护人。
