Systematic Review: Adult Refugees and Asylum-Seekers’ Contact with Specialist Mental Health Services between 2014 and 2024
This systematic review maps and critically examines trauma-related mental health assessment practices applied to adult refugees in European host countries, drawing on peer-reviewed studies published between 2014 and 2024 and interpreted in light of advances in the field up to 2026. A systematic review was conducted using major electronic databases to identify peer-reviewed 46 studies published between 2014 and 2024 that assessed trauma-related me…
Commentary: Psychological well-being, mental distress, metabolic syndrome, and associated factors among people living in a refugee camp in Greece: a cross-sectional study
3. Discussion of "cultural norms" and "co-sleeping practices" is valuable, yet somewhat anecdotal. A more balanced reference to empirical evidence supporting these claims would improve credibility.Answer: In lines 71-78 theses issues were corrected and empirically supported.Many thanks.At several points, the tone becomes assertive ("scientifically insufficient,""methodologically unsound"). These expressions could be softened to maintain an academ…
Traumatised Refugees and Anxiety Traits: Debilitated, Low-income and Unaccompanied During and After Displacement
Refugees learned anxiety and trauma from war environments which develops propensity for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). PTSD symptomatology is aggravated when hosting countries have limited knowledge of screening and intervention in received refugees. To add, displaced individuals suffer from pre-existing physical illnesses and other socio-familiar conditions that should be considered in the relationship of likelihood of PTSD and anxiety b…
Safe but broken: A critical review on psychological risks of childhood in refugee camps
The concept of severely deprived children has recently been integrated into the study of refugee children. While refugee camps are designed to ensure physical safety, they often expose young residents to chronic deprivation, limited mobility, and psychosocial isolation. Conversely, urban resettlement may foster autonomy and integration yet introduce new forms of structural and cultural stress. Understanding how environmental context shapes trauma…
Vulnerability and academic burnout in the university context: Interaction events, social exchanges, and resilience behaviours
This study focuses on how levels of burnout impact on the quality of sleep and academic performance of university students. Previous research has found limited evidence on the prevalence of burnout in university students, in addition to the relationship between exhaustion behaviours and sleep quality. The social exchange theory (SET) is important for understanding how the various actors in that context behave and with what effect on their social …
Marital Cohesion and Perceived Stress in Parents of Children with Special Educational Needs: A Study of the Impact on Couple Dynamics
These results underscore the necessity for further investigation into the role of emotional support and coping strategies in alleviating the perceived stress among parents and caregivers of children with SENs. A deeper understanding of these factors is essential for the development of interventions aimed at promoting parental well-being and enhancing the quality of caregiving
Where Do Our Children Go? Understanding the Impact of Institutionalization on Emotion Regulation, Attention, and Sleep
These findings suggest that prolonged institutionalization impairs socio-emotional development, with downstream effects on cognitive functioning, particularly attention. While differences in sleep routines between IC and NIC were observed, sleep did not appear to directly mediate the relationship between emotional regulation and attention, nor did it present a primary risk factor compared with the broader developmental challenges associated with …
Pet Attachment Mediating the Relationship Between Depressive Symptoms and Loneliness Among Portuguese Women
Sleep Preferences and Chronotype Traits Impact on Academic Performance Among University Students
Due to irregular daytime routines, chronotype changes, side jobs and exam periods after the COVID-19 pandemic, university students are trying to find new balances in their everyday life. The aim of the present study is to analyze the impact of daytime chronotype and hour preferences for the circadian rhythm on academic achievement among university students, considering their sleep habits and class frequencies in daytime and nighttime classes. Fur…
Bullying and victimization in schools: Causal relationship between adolescent disruptive behavior, sleep schedules, and extended school hours
Very few studies have identified the relationship between chronotype, sleep habits, and bullying/victimization in school and online contexts. The objective of this work is to identify predictors of frequency of bullying/cyberbullying in Portuguese pubescent and adolescent populations, such as chronotype and sleep aspects, controlling for gender, age, grade, and school attendance hours. One hundred and seventeen Portuguese students from the second…

The Effect of Chronotype on Oppositional Behaviour and Psychomotor Agitation of School-Age Children: A Cross-Sectional Study
The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between chronotype, classroom behaviour and school performance in 140 healthy school-age children attending various levels of education during the 1st cycle during 2021 in Portugal. In this cross-sectional and quantitative study, the Chronotype Questionnaire for Children (to assess the chronotype) and the Conners Scale-a reduced version was presented to the teachers (to assess behaviours such a…
Psychological Research on Sleep Problems and Adjustment of Working Hours during Teleworking in the Covid-19 Pandemic: An Exploratory Study
Mandatory home isolation caused by COVID-19 in professional contexts led to a situation that required work activities to be converted into a remote modality. The literature on this topic is very recent, given the pandemic and the uncertainty of virtual and face-to-face work modalities. This study aimed to examine the effects of adults' prolonged exposure to screens on sleep quality, the type of devices used according to age and gender, periods of…

Competition Strategies during Writing in a Second Language: Age and Levels of Complexity
1) Background: Research in second language (L2) writing in the European context is an emerging tendency in L2 studies. European countries have become new hosts to immigrants in very recent years and new applied research is needed to aid schools in their inclusion process. (2) Method: This study examined differences in writing performance by comparing 99 immigrant students in Portugal between 7 and 17 years of age. They were assessed in six distin…
Second language education context and home language effect: Language dissimilarities and variation in immigrant students’ outcomes
Heritage language speakers struggle in European classrooms with insufficient material provided for second language (SL) learning and assessment. Considering the amount of instruments and pertinent studies in English SL, immigrant students are better prepared than their peers in Romance language settings. This study investigates how factors such as age and home language can be used in the teaching environment to predict and examine the development…
