Abstract

Mülteci çocukların ruhsal sağlığı; barınma, eğitim, ekonomik olanaklar, geniş kapsamlı politikalar ve bu bağlam dahilinde göçmenlik olmak üzere tüm potansiyel sağlık belirleyicilerini etkileyen çok yönlü bir olgudur. Bireyler veya ailelerin, evlerini veya topluluklarını terk etmeleri gerektiğinde, bu tür deneyimlerin psikopatoloji riskini arttırdığı ve aynı zamanda aidiyet ve kimliğe yönelik önemli zorluklar yarattığı bilinmektedir. Dünyadaki mültecilerin yaklaşık dörtte biri çocuk olmasına rağmen mülteci çocuklarda ruh sağlığı sorunlarına yönelik araştırmalar sınırlıdır. Bu derlemede, son çalışmalar ışığında Mülteci çocukların ruhsal sağlığının tüm yönleriyle ele alınması ve gerek ruh sağlığı alanında gerekse diğer alanlarında çalışanlara yol gösterici olması amaçlanmıştır

Abstract

Mental health of refugee children; It is a multifunctional phenomenon that affects all potential health determinants, including housing, education, economic opportunities, broad-based policies and, in this context, immigration. When individuals or families need to leave their homes or communities, it is known that such experiences increase the risk of psychopathology and at the same time create significant difficulties for belonging and identity. Although approximately one quarter of the world’s refugees are children, research on mental health problems in refugee children is limited. This review aims to address all aspects of the mental health of refugee children in the light of recent studies and to guide the employees in the field of mental health and other areas
