Abstract

The South Asian diaspora is one of the largest racial/ethnic diasporas in the world. Limited psychological research and practice have focused on the traumatic experiences of South Asian individuals in this diaspora, and even less work has examined how these traumatic experiences are inextricably linked with historical and ongoing colonial context; migration and displacement; and intersectional identity based on religion, race, gender, nationality, and more. Additionally, scant research has focused on tangible solutions to these grave gaps in mental health care-how to best disseminate and implement culturally congruent interventions, enhance policy for trauma-informed work, and best attend to the culturally informed needs of South Asian mental health trainees. This narrative review examines the current psychological literature on trauma among South Asian individuals in the diaspora from a translational perspective. We review (a) South Asian history using a trauma-focused lens, (b) the types and prevalence of traumatic experiences, (c) trauma interventions, (d) trauma-related dissemination and implementation efforts, and (e) trauma-informed policy initiatives. We note from the outset that due to the limited work on the diaspora, much of this review inadvertently also reviews extant work on trauma among South Asians residing in South Asia, which is distinct but related to diasporic experiences. Recommendations for the traumatic stress field, community members and lay providers, and implications for the training of South Asian students preparing for careers in mental health are discussed.

南亚侨民的创伤压力:叙述回顾。
南亚侨民是世界上最大的种族/民族侨民之一。有限的心理学研究和实践集中在南亚侨民的创伤经历上,甚至更少的工作研究了这些创伤经历如何与历史和正在进行的殖民背景密不可分;迁移和流离失所;以及基于宗教、种族、性别、国籍等的交叉身份认同。此外,很少有研究关注于解决精神卫生保健中这些严重差距的切实解决方案——如何最好地传播和实施与文化一致的干预措施,加强创伤知情工作的政策,以及最好地照顾南亚精神卫生受训人员的文化知情需求。这篇叙事性的综述从翻译的角度审视了目前关于南亚散居者创伤的心理学文献。我们回顾(a)以创伤为焦点的南亚历史,(b)创伤经历的类型和流行程度,(c)创伤干预,(d)创伤相关的传播和实施努力,以及(e)创伤信息政策举措。我们从一开始就注意到,由于对散居侨民的研究有限,本综述的大部分无意中也回顾了居住在南亚的南亚人的创伤,这是不同的,但与散居侨民的经历有关。对创伤应力场、社区成员和非专业提供者的建议,以及对准备从事精神卫生职业的南亚学生培训的影响进行了讨论。

期刊介绍: Journal of Traumatic Stress (JTS) is published for the International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies. Journal of Traumatic Stress , the official publication for the International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies, is an interdisciplinary forum for the publication of peer-reviewed original papers on biopsychosocial aspects of trauma. Papers focus on theoretical formulations, research, treatment, prevention education/training, and legal and policy concerns. Journal of Traumatic Stress serves as a primary reference for professionals who study and treat people exposed to highly stressful and traumatic events (directly or through their occupational roles), such as war, disaster, accident, violence or abuse (criminal or familial), hostage-taking, or life-threatening illness. The journal publishes original articles, brief reports, review papers, commentaries, and, from time to time, special issues devoted to a single topic.
