It is well established that a significant proportion of refugees in Sweden have had traumatic experiences prior to immigration, causing mental and psychosomatic disorders. The actual frequency is difficult to assess because of methodological problems. Of refugees resettled in Stockholm county in 1996, 13 per cent were immediately referred to specialised trauma centres, thus comprising half of all referrals. Moreover, it has to be borne in mind that underdiagnosis is common in clinical practice. In the article, the relevance of accessible data, the clinical picture and epidemiological issues are discussed with regard to the refugee population.
众所周知，瑞典相当一部分难民在移民前有过创伤经历，导致精神和身心障碍。由于方法上的问题，实际发生率难以评估。1996年在斯德哥尔摩县重新安置的难民中，13%的人被立即转诊至专门的创伤中心，占所有转诊人数的一半。此外，必须记住的是，临床实践中漏诊情况很常见。本文讨论了难民群体中可获取数据的相关性、临床表现和流行病学问题。
