By the end of 2021 89.3 million of people worldwide were forced to
leave their home countries because of war, expulsion and violation
of human rights. These experiences can have strong influence on
occurrence of mental health difficulties, so one of the objectives of
the study was to determine the incidence of different mental health
difficulties, but of psychological strengths, as well. The results of the
study showed that 80% of refugees were identified as
psychologically vulnerable, out of which 48% were highly
vulnerable, meaning that they required some sort of psychological
or psychosocial support. Also, 67% of refugees were under acute
distress and required urgent psychological first aid or intervention in
crisis, after which it was also important to continue monitoring
their condition in order to prevent them from relapsing back to the
psychological crisis. Additionally, 26% of refugees showed
symptoms of depression, 21% showed symptoms of anxiety, while
23% of re...fugees showed symptoms of post-traumatic stress.
However, it was discovered that while experiencing various
psychological difficulties, the refugees were also able to preserve
and develop positive psychological capacities, as well, such as the
feeling of hope (50-69%), as well as the post-traumatic growth (25-
51%). Still, just every third or fourth person reported that his/her
psychological wellbeing was preserved, which once more
highlighted the need for additional psychological support. Based on
the results of the study we made recommendations for evidencebased psychosocial practice, but also for all persons working with
the refugees, in order to develop systematic sensitivity for the
issues of refugees’ mental health and provision of comprehensive
multidisciplinary support.
