A Systematic Review of the Effectiveness of School-based Interventions for Mental Health Symptoms of Children or Adolescents After War or Natural Disaster

Abstract

Worldwide, wars and natural disasters affect a considerable number of children and adolescents and this number is constantly increasing. On the other hand, such extraordinary situations cause children and adolescents to be exposed to traumatic events and pave the way for serious mental health disorders. Although schools are one of the main institutions in transferring mental health services, especially after these crisis situations, studies on the effectiveness of school-based interventions remain insufficient in the literature. This review examined the efficacy of schoolbased interventions for post-traumatic stress disorder PTSD , depression and anxiety symptoms of war or natural disaster exposed children or adolescents. The systematic research was conducted in four databases, PsychInfo, PubMED, Scopus and PTSDPubs, using key subject terms “schoolbased interventions”, “war”, “natural disaster” and “trauma”. Identified papers were assessed using Effective Public Health Practice Project EPHPP quality assessment tool for quantitative studies. A total of 12 studies were selected that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. While most studies have shown declines in PTSD, depression and anxiety symptoms, the most successful results have been observed in PTSD symptoms following interventions for natural disaster-induced trauma. Interventions in which practitioners were teachers and lasted longer than others yielded the most successful results in all three types of symptoms. The study concluded that prioritizing schoolbased interventions that persist long and delivered by teachers after wars or natural disasters may be more effective in improving PTSD, depression and anxiety symptoms of children or adolescents
