Abstract

Purpose of review: The number of refugees across the globe continues to grow, leaving a large proportion of the global population in a vulnerable state of health. However, the number of robust clinical interventions has not kept apace. This paper provides a general review of literature on the trauma and violence that refugees face, the impact on health outcomes, and some of the promising models for clinical intervention.

Recent findings: Refugees experience a cycle of trauma, violence, and distress that begins before migration and continues during migration and after resettlement. It has been challenging to develop robust clinical interventions due to the cumulative and cyclic effects of trauma, as well as the unique experiences of trauma that each refugee community and each refugee individual faces.

Summary: Trauma-informed care is a critical component of health care. Developing stronger guidelines for trauma-informed care will help clinicians better provide inclusive and equitable care for refugee patients.

认识和打破重新安置难民的创伤和暴力循环。

审查目的:全球难民人数继续增加，使全球人口中的很大一部分处于脆弱的健康状态。然而，强有力的临床干预措施的数量并没有跟上步伐。本文对难民面临的创伤和暴力、对健康结果的影响以及一些有希望的临床干预模式进行了综述。最近的调查结果:难民经历了一个创伤、暴力和痛苦的循环，从移民前开始，在移民期间和重新安置后继续。由于创伤的累积和循环效应，以及每个难民社区和每个难民个人面临的独特创伤经历，开发强有力的临床干预措施一直具有挑战性。总结:创伤知情护理是卫生保健的重要组成部分。制定更强有力的创伤知情护理指南将有助于临床医生更好地为难民患者提供包容和公平的护理。

期刊介绍： Aims: The goal of this journal is to provide concentrated, evidence-based information in the field of trauma through authoritative reviews. It has become almost impossible for the average physician to keep up with the flood of information that is published in numerous medical journals or the internet. Original articles, although often important or even ground-breaking, have typically a narrow focus and on occasions lack scientific rigor. Whereas physicians are encouraged to spend the necessary time reviewing critically the methodology and results of an original article, their fast-paced professional lives allow limited opportunities to do so. Therefore, the need for thoughtful, well-constructed, and comprehensive reviews has increased in our times more than ever before. Our new journal intends to do what the average reader cannot afford doing. It intends to summarize the pertinent information, exclude the irrelevant details, and offer thorough, clinically-focused reviews. We have summoned true experts from around the world to contribute these reviews, based on their detailed analysis of the literature and rich personal experience. We hope that this information will be readily useable and help shape the practice of those who read it. Scope: Our journal is about trauma. It will include every possible blunt or penetrating traumatic injury in any part of the body. It will describe diagnostic and therapeutic strategies, operative and non-operative alike. It will present treatment algorithms and caution about pitfalls and complications. It will compare outcomes, as shown in the literature, and make evidence-based recommendations about preferred pathways. Besides the strict focus on traumatic diseases and their treatment, it will also expand on broader issues related to injury prevention and rehabilitation. All in all, we expect that the scope of the journal will cover everything that has to do with trauma.
