THE EFFECTIVENESS OF PSYCHOLOGICAL THERAPIES IN DEFENSE WAR VICTIMS AND PEACE PROCESSES: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW STUDY

Öz

The United Nations has documented over 65 million individuals globally who have been forced to leave their homes in 2016. Over 50% of them are young adolescents; they have been traumatized and displaced by war. To give an overview of the effectiveness of psychosocial interventions therein, the study conducted a narrative review and a meta-analysis of intervention trials that reported posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS), depression, anxiety, grief, and general distress. Method: CENTRAL, Embase, MEDLINE, WoS, PILOTS, PsycINFO, ASSIA, SA, CSA, and LILACS were searched for treatment outcome studies in war-traumatized displaced children and adolescents. Pre-post ES and between-group ES were reconstructed for each study. The combined pre-post ES were calculated under a random effects model. The narrative overview comprises 23 studies with heterogeneous treatments. Of 35 between-group ES estimated, six were significant, all in comparison to untreated controls. Two of them had significant, negative effects on depressive symptoms or general distress. For estimating pre-post effects size, the large positive between-group effects of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and interpersonal therapy (IPT) were replicated and individual other treatments showed significant positive effects. However, the overall mean pre-post effects for depression and PTSS were not estimable due to the extreme heterogeneity of studies included (PTSS: ES = 0.78; I2 = 88.6%; depression: ES = 0.35; I2 = 93.1%). Only the average pre-post change of seven active CBT treatment groups for depression (ES = 0.30, 95% CI [0.18, 0.43]) could be estimated (Q = 3.3, df = 6, p = .77). Since many children and adolescents had been displaced by war there were sadly few treatment studies available, and most were of poor methodological quality. The effect sizes lagged behind the traumatized children in general, and were generally small or non-significant.
