Abstract

Objectives: To assess the causes and risk factors of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in adult asylum seekers and refugees. To explore whether the causes and risk factors of PTSD between male and female adult refugees/asylum seekers are different. Study design: Systematic review of current literature. Data Sources: PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus and Google Scholar up until February 2019. Method: A structured, systematic search was conducted of the relevant databases. Papers were excluded if they failed to meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Afterwards, a qualitative assessment was performed on the selected papers. Results: 12 Studies were included for the final analysis. All papers were either case studies/reports or cross-sectional studies. Traumatic events experienced by refugees/asylum seekers are the most frequently reported pre-migration causes of PTSD development, while acculturative stress is the most common post-migration stressor. There were mixed reports regarding the causes of PTSD between both genders of refugees/asylum seekers. Conclusions: This review’s findings have potential clinical application in terms of helping clinicians to risk stratify refugees/asylum seekers for PTSD development and thus aid in embarking on earlier intervention measures. However, more rigorous research similar to this study is needed for it to be implemented into clinical practice.
成年寻求庇护者和难民创伤后应激障碍的原因及危险因素
目的:评估成年寻求庇护者和难民患创伤后应激障碍(PTSD)的原因和危险因素。探讨成年难民/寻求庇护者男性和女性PTSD的病因和危险因素是否不同。研究设计:对现有文献进行系统回顾。数据来源:PubMed、Web of Science、Scopus和Google Scholar,截至2019年2月。方法:对相关数据库进行结构化、系统的检索。如果论文不符合入选和排除标准,则被排除在外。之后,对所选论文进行了定性评估。结果:纳入12项研究进行最终分析。所有论文均为个案研究/报告或横断面研究。难民/寻求庇护者经历的创伤事件是移民前PTSD发展的最常见原因,而文化适应压力是移民后最常见的压力源。关于难民/寻求庇护者的性别创伤后应激障碍的原因,有各种各样的报告。结论:这篇综述的发现在帮助临床医生对难民/寻求庇护者进行PTSD发展风险分层方面具有潜在的临床应用价值,从而有助于采取早期干预措施。然而,要将其应用于临床实践,还需要类似于这项研究的更严格的研究。
