Abstract

Hazara refugees are highly vulnerable to trauma and other mental health challenges due to sustained ethnic and religious persecution. The post-migration difficulties experienced in Australia significantly heighten the risk of exacerbating these outcomes, while also highlighting the importance of identifying the various strengths and strategies that foster wellbeing. We conducted a scoping review to explore the mental health and wellbeing of Hazara refugees in Australia. A systematic database search was conducted across CINAHL Complete, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, Scopus, and Web of Science. Twenty-one articles met the eligibility criteria and were included in this review. Our findings draw attention to the distinct gendered mental health and wellbeing experiences of Hazara refugees. We highlight the emotional and psychological harm caused by visa insecurity and restrictions post-migration, as well as the detrimental impacts of racism and discrimination. We also discuss barriers to accessing support services, and identify key strategies used by Hazara refugees to promote their wellbeing in Australia. Lastly, findings highlight the collective experiences of suffering and growth experienced by Hazara refugees, and the cumulative impacts that all stages of forced migration may have on post-migration outcomes. In doing so, this review provides a critical overview of the mental health and wellbeing experiences of Hazara refugees in Australia and provides important recommendations for researchers and practitioners working with this population.
澳大利亚哈扎拉难民的心理健康和福祉:范围审查
由于持续的种族和宗教迫害,哈扎拉难民极易受到创伤和其他精神健康挑战。澳大利亚经历的移民后困难大大增加了加剧这些结果的风险,同时也强调了确定促进福祉的各种优势和战略的重要性。我们进行了一项范围审查,以探索澳大利亚哈扎拉难民的心理健康和福祉。对CINAHL Complete、MEDLINE、PsycINFO、Scopus和Web of Science进行了系统的数据库检索。21篇符合入选标准的文章被纳入本综述。我们的研究结果引起了人们对哈扎拉难民独特的性别心理健康和幸福经历的关注。我们强调移民后签证不安全和限制造成的情感和心理伤害,以及种族主义和歧视的有害影响。我们还讨论了获得支持服务的障碍,并确定了哈扎拉难民用来促进他们在澳大利亚福祉的关键策略。最后,调查结果强调了哈扎拉难民所经历的痛苦和成长的集体经历,以及被迫移民的各个阶段可能对移民后结果产生的累积影响。在此过程中,本综述提供了对澳大利亚哈扎拉难民心理健康和幸福经历的重要概述,并为研究人员和从业人员提供了与该人群合作的重要建议。
