Prevalence of Potentially Traumatic Events, Other Life Events and Subsequent Reactions Indicative for Posttraumatic Stress Disorder in the Netherlands
The 12-month and lifetime prevalence of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in different country populations has been assessed while using clinical interviews. Because this methodology is relatively time-consuming and resource-intensive, disaster health researchers adopted instruments, like the Trauma Screening Questionnaire (TSQ). This study (1) used the TSQ to estimate the lifetime prevalence of potentially traumatic events and other life even…
Development and evaluation of diversity-oriented competence training for the treatment of depressive disorders
Studies in Europe indicate that some ethnic minorities have higher rates of mental disorders and less favorable treatment outcomes than their counterparts from majority groups. To date, efforts regarding training to reduce disparities have mainly focused on ethnocultural competences of therapists, with less attention paid to other aspects of diversity, such as sex/gender and socioeconomic status. In this study, we aim to determine the effectivene…
Loss of loved ones or home due to a disaster
Exposure to mass trauma may bring about increased sensitivity to new or ongoing stressors. It is unclear whether sensitivity to stress associated with ethnic minority/immigrant status may be affected by severe exposure to mass trauma. We examined whether the loss of loved ones or home due to a disaster is associated with more persistent disaster-related distress in ethnic minorities compared with Dutch natives in the Netherlands. In residents aff…
The Effectiveness of Art Therapy in the Treatment of Traumatized Adults
Art therapy has often been applied in the treatment of traumatized adults, and good results in clinical practice have been reported. However, although art therapy experts underline these benefits, the effectiveness of art therapy in trauma treatment has not been established by systematic review. The aim of this systematic review is to identify and evaluate empirical evidence of the effectiveness of art therapy for trauma treatment. As a result of…
Coping and chronic psychosocial consequences of female genital mutilation in the Netherlands
FGM/C had a lifelong impact on the majority of the women participating in the study, causing chronic mental and psychosocial problems. Migration made women who underwent FGM/C more aware of their condition. Three types of women could be distinguished according to their coping style: the adaptives, the disempowered and the traumatised. Health care providers should become more aware of their problems and more sensitive in addressing them
Acculturation and Psychological Distress Among Non-Western Muslim Migrants - a Population-Based Survey
Background: Political and social developments point at increasing marginalization of Muslim migrants, but little is known about its consequences for the mental health of this particular group. Aim: To explore the relationship between acculturation and psychological distress among first-generation Muslim migrants from Turkey and Morocco in the Netherlands. Methods: A cross-sectional study. Respondents were interviewed in their preferred language. …
Use of the Cultural Formulation with Refugees
This article discusses the experiences of mental health professionals who applied the Cultural Formulation (CF) of the DSM-IV for assessment of psychopathology and treatment needs of refugees in the Netherlands. The CF approach proved to be a useful tool in the assessment and diagnostic phase of clinical treatment. However, patients reported problems with defining their own culture and providing explanations of illness and therapists had difficul…
Help‐seeking behavior of west African Migrants
In this article, the authors present essential aspects of the help‐seeking behavior with regard to mental health problems of Ghanaian migrants in the Netherlands. Samples of citizens in the general population ( n =97) and outpatients treated in mental health care facilities ( n =36) were included. Data were acquired by administering a semi‐structured interview. Quantified data were analysed using hierarchical multiple regression analyses and dire…
Acculturation and Mental Health Among Ghanaians in the Netherlands
Background: The current literature on the relationship between cultural adaptation and mental health is premature to offer a comprehensive explanation about the ways acculturation exerts either positive or adverse effects on the mental health of migrants. Aim: This study is an empirical approach towards understanding the magnitude of the relationship between consequences of cultural adaptation and psychological distress. Methods: Two samples of G…
Help-Seeking Behaviour Regarding Mental Health Problems of Mediterranean Migrants in the Netherlands
Background: Ethnic minority groups differ in the pattern of their seeking help, and in their use of and attitude towards mental health systems. To meet the mental health needs of ethnic minority populations, insights into determinants of their help-seeking orientations are of great concern. Aim: To investigate help-seeking behaviour regarding mental health problems in terms of familiarity, attitude and service use among Mediterranean migrants in …
Ghanaian migrants in The Netherlands
Ghanaians are a relatively unknown migrant group in the Netherlands. Due to a plane crash in a densely populated suburb of Amsterdam, the Ghanaian population in 1992 suddenly became a “hot item” in national media. It was assumed that they would be a group at risk: many Ghanaians were either directly or indirectly victims of this disaster. Moreover, Ghanaians were assumed to be unfamiliar with the Dutch society and the health care system.A study w…
