Abstract

A sample of 206 adolescent Cambodian youth and 159 of their parents were interviewed to determine the extent of their past war trauma during the Pol Pot regime in Cambodia (1975-1979), their resettlement stress, their current diagnostic status, and their functional ability as refugees in the United States. This report focuses on the last of these aims. Overall, these youth were found to be functioning quite well. Their diagnostic status did not relate strongly to their functional status. Parents showed a stronger relationship between diagnostic status and measures of functioning than did adolescents. The implications of these findings for future studies are discussed.

摘要

对206名柬埔寨青少年及其159名父母进行了访谈，以确定他们在柬埔寨波尔布特政权时期（1975 - 1979年）过去遭受战争创伤的程度、重新安置的压力、目前的诊断状况以及他们作为美国难民的功能能力。本报告关注的是这些目标中的最后一项。总体而言，这些青少年的功能状况相当良好。他们的诊断状况与功能状况之间没有很强的关联。与青少年相比，父母的诊断状况与功能衡量指标之间的关系更为密切。文中讨论了这些研究结果对未来研究的启示。
