Resettlement of Australian Refugees

...

The study found that about 50% of the people who received the assessment met the post-traumatic stress disorder. The study also highlighted the provision of psychiatric challenges, including the lack of translation and inappropriate conditions for the collection of clinical data on psychiatry. Researchers said that all refugees have experienced trauma and stress, some people are more likely to suffer from mental illness than others. Therefore, under the limited resources of the real conditions, the researchers recommended mental health care should pay special attention to those who are more likely to suffer from PTSD and severe depression. From the table1, most of the refugees residing in Australia belong to Christians, and the number of never married people is significantly higher. The largest refugee group currently being resettled in australia, so their mental state is very important from the perspective of service delivery. Our results show in table 2 that more than 90% of the participants reported who 39% reported Severe psychological distress at least one violation of human rights and 31% of clinical PTSD symptoms are obvious. According to the cut-off score used by K10, 39.8% of patients in the National Mental Health and Wellness Survey (NSMHWB) were severely mentally troubled, 19.4% had moderate pain and 40.7% had mild pain.

Discussion

The resettled Australia refugees were identified as disadvantaged groups with higher levels of emotional trauma and poor health compared to other refugee groups. A positive association between longer length of resettlement and good mental health，while months of resettlement suffered from a serious mental disorder refugees in Australia. The resettlement of refugees has a significant positive correlation between their chances of depression and poor economic conditions (poor language proficiency, less job opportunities, low family income, especially lack of social support). Since search terms do not include the term "risk factor" or related keywords, the current review methodology may obscure the fact that refugees have been identified as a risk factor for long-term mental disorders.The term "long term" is added to the academic search, which leads to limited results, and the influence of time is a risk factor for mental disorders. Moreover, epidemiological researchers have introduced the major risk factors for the prevalence of mental disorders.

Many people have gone through war, frightened, turbulent and terrible journey, which make their usually have very bad physical condition. Australia countries are trying to provide accommodation and integration for those who enter the country, which attract global attention and lead to political tensions. Refugee groups have not been extensively discussed in the context of the enormous mental health disorder. Thomas Elbert, a clinical psychologist at the University of Constantine in Germany who conducted a local survey of refugees and said that more than half of the refugees arriving in Australia. In the past few years researches have shown signs of mental disorder, of which one in four is PTSD or depression, if they do not get help is difficult to improve. Previous studies have shown that the risk of schizophrenia among refugees and migrants is also increasing. They are ashamed and guilty of these encounters, so they are mostly introverted and do not trust others and other symptoms are sleep difficulties, it is difficult to shortness concentrate, fear, too sensitive, and sluggish.

In conclusion, there is a pressing need for a more effective way to study the mental health problems of long-term refugees (especially those living in developing countries). After years of war experience and resettlement, their mental disorders are very common, which must attract the attention of Australia and the world.
