Abstract

The number of refugees and internally displaced people in 2022 is the largest since World War II, and meta-analyses demonstrate that these people experience elevated rates of mental health problems. This review focuses on the role of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in refugee mental health and includes current knowledge of the prevalence of PTSD, risk factors, and apparent differences that exist between PTSD in refugee populations and PTSD in other populations. An emerging literature on understanding mechanisms of PTSD encompasses neural, cognitive, and social processes, which indicate that these factors may not function exactly as they have functioned previously in other PTSD populations. This review recognizes the numerous debates in the literature on PTSD in refugees, including those on such issues as the conceptualization of mental health and the applicability of the PTSD diagnosis across cultures, as well as the challenge of treating PTSD in low- and middle-income countries that lack mental health resources to offer standard PTSD treatments.

难民的创伤后应激障碍。

2022年，难民和国内流离失所者的数量是自第二次世界大战以来最多的，荟萃分析表明，这些人出现心理健康问题的比例更高。本文综述了创伤后应激障碍(PTSD)在难民心理健康中的作用，包括目前对PTSD患病率、危险因素的了解，以及难民人群中PTSD与其他人群中PTSD之间存在的明显差异。新兴文献对PTSD机制的理解包括神经、认知和社会过程，这表明这些因素可能不像以前在其他PTSD人群中那样起作用。本综述认识到关于难民创伤后应激障碍的文献中存在许多争论，包括心理健康的概念化和跨文化创伤后应激障碍诊断的适用性等问题，以及在缺乏精神卫生资源提供标准创伤后应激障碍治疗的中低收入国家治疗创伤后应激障碍的挑战。

Additionally, the articles also touch upon broader issues that cut across the field, such as diagnosis, treatment, social policy, and cross-cultural and legal issues.
