Does country of residence matter? A cross-sectional comparison of PTSD and depression among traumatized, treatment-seeking Syrians residing in Syria and Syrian refugees in Germany and Turkey
PTSD and depression rates did not differ between refugees and Syrian residents from Syria, emphasizing the high mental health symptom burden in treatment-seeking Syrians regardless of their country of residence. Notably, though trauma exposure was higher among refugees and explained existing differences in symptom load, underscoring the need for psychosocial support across host countries
Mental Health and Experiences of Anti‐Semitism in 2nd and 3rd Offspring Generation of Holocaust Survivors From Israel, Germany, and the USA
The existing and rising anti‐Semitism is a risk factor for the mental health of Jewish people worldwide. This study examines possible associations between anti‐Semitism and mental health in offspring/children (OHS) and grandchildren (GHS) of Holocaust survivors through cross‐country comparisons. A total of n = 248 OHS and n = 240 GHS from Israel, Germany, and the US completed a cross‐sectional online survey on experiences of anti‐Semitism, psycho…
Mental healthcare access among resettled Syrian refugees in Leipzig, Germany
Our aim was to examine mental health needs and access to mental healthcare services among Syrian refugees in the city of Leipzig, Germany. We conducted a cross-sectional survey with Syrian refugee adults in Leipzig, Germany in 2021/2022. Outcomes included PTSD (PCL-5), depression (PHQ-9), anxiety (GAD-7) and somatic symptom (SSS-8). Descriptive, regression and effect modification analyses assessed associations between selected predictor variables…
Male Survivors’ Disclosure of Conflict‐Related Sexual Violence in Mental Health Care Settings
Conflict‐related sexual violence (CRSV) can severely impair survivors’ mental health and prompt their need for mental health care. Male survivors face gender‐related barriers to disclosing experiences of sexual violence, yet the understanding of factors impeding or promoting disclosure is limited. This knowledge gap is even more pronounced regarding male disclosure in refugee settings. The high prevalence of CRSV experiences in male refugees in E…
Mental health of recently arrived male refugees in Germany reporting sexual violence
Conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV) is one of the most severe and stigmatizing human rights violations. The recognition of men and boys as targets of sexual violence is a rather recent development. In the present study data on experiences of sexual violence as well as mental health outcomes were analysed in recently arrived male refugees (N = 392) in Germany. More than one third of the men interviewed (n = 128; 36.6%) reported having experien…
Challenges faced by university students during the Covid ‐19
This study focused on the specific challenges of university students in the face of the COVID‐19 pandemic and examined similarities and differences in COVID‐related concerns and difficulties in functioning in samples of undergraduate students in five countries. A sample of 4306 undergraduate university students (43.8% males, 56.2% females) from Israel, Kosovo, Ukraine, Cyprus and Germany participated in an anonymous online survey during the first…
Factors predicting symptoms of somatization, depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, self-rated mental and physical health among recently arrived refugees in Germany
The results provide initial methodologically robust insights for research and health care services, which should aid in better identifying newly arrived refugees in need of psychosocial care. Furthermore, the results might help answering the question of how to provide health care for highly vulnerable groups within refugee populations regardless their residential status
Mental health among immigrants in Germany – the impact of self-attribution and attribution by others as an immigrant
It seems useful to focus on immigration-related factors considering subjective perspectives and not only comparing immigrants and natives using a federal statistics definition. Our findings suggest that research on the association between immigration-related factors such as attribution as an immigrant and mental health outcomes might be a promising approach to better identify subgroups at higher risk of mental distress
Do They Feel the Same Way? Health-Related Quality of Life and Satisfaction With Life in Jewish Immigrants From the Former Soviet Union in Germany and Israel
There is consensus that experiences gained during immigration have an impact on health status. However, studies comparing health-related outcomes in homogeneous groups of immigrants living in different host countries are rare. In a sample of Jewish immigrants from the Former Soviet Union (FSU) in two different host countries, Germany and Israel, possible predictors of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and satisfaction with life (SWL) were ex…
