Abstract

Psycho-social problems are recognized as the most profound challenges among war affected population. People experiencing poor psychological health suffer substantial distress and may be more vulnerable to violence, suicidal act, and poor physical health and harmful health practices such as substance abuse. Civilian exposure to war can involve numerous traumatic experiences including feelings of insecurity, witnessing extreme violence, separation from family, and incarceration. This article is intended to investigate the war-related psycho-social problems and mitigating strategies of war declared on Ethiopia’s Amhara region civilians. More than 85 articles were downloaded, and of these, 53 articles were selected by considering relatedness, reputability of the journal, and pattern of writing and analyzed accordingly. The findings showed that displacement, lack of basic needs for survival, social disruption, exposure to violence, depression, psychosis, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, substance use and abuse, and behavioral disturbances are psycho-social problems manifested among people affected by war. Psycho-social support systems such as psychiatric support, counseling, training, advocacy, practical support, community education, community mobilization, forming task forces, identification of vulnerable groups, and developing psycho-social support pyramid are the mitigating strategies of war-related psycho-social problems.
与战争有关的社会心理问题和缓解策略:危机时刻,行动时刻
心理社会问题被认为是受战争影响人口面临的最深刻的挑战。心理健康状况不佳的人遭受巨大痛苦,可能更容易受到暴力、自杀行为、身体健康状况不佳和滥用药物等有害健康做法的伤害。平民暴露在战争中可能涉及许多创伤性经历,包括不安全感、目睹极端暴力、与家人分离和监禁。本文旨在探讨与战争有关的心理社会问题和缓解对埃塞俄比亚阿姆哈拉地区平民宣战的策略。下载了85篇以上的文章,其中53篇文章是根据相关性、知名度、写作模式等因素进行分析后选出的。研究结果表明,流离失所、缺乏基本生存需求、社会混乱、暴力、抑郁、精神病、创伤后应激障碍、焦虑、物质使用和滥用以及行为障碍是受战争影响的人所表现出的心理社会问题。心理社会支持系统,如精神病学支持、咨询、培训、宣传、实际支持、社区教育、社区动员、组建工作队、识别弱势群体、建立心理社会支持金字塔等,是缓解与战争有关的心理社会问题的策略。
