A house is not a home: a network model perspective on the dynamics between subjective quality of living conditions, social support, and mental health of refugees and asylum seekers

Abstract: Background: Providing adequate living conditions for forcibly displaced people represents a significant challenge for host countries such as Germany. This study explores refugee mental health’s reciprocal, dynamic relationship with post-migration living conditions and social support. Methods: The study sample included 325 Arabic- or Farsi-speaking asylum seekers and refugees residing in Germany since 2014 and seeking mental health treatment. Associations b… Show more

“…Efforts should focus on improving the quality of shelters, ensuring access to essential services, and promoting community engagement and participation (Ullal et al, 2022;Van Wicklin, 2017). In addition, establishing mechanisms for social support, fostering community resilience, and providing psychosocial assistance are crucial to mitigating the potential for renewed violence and reprisal within these populations (Schilz et al, 2023).…”

“…The lack of access to adequate sanitation facilities, clean water, and essential services further compounds the challenges faced by these individuals (Lischer, 2005). Such adverse conditions not only undermine their physical well-being but also have a profound impact on their mental health and resilience (Schilz et al, 2023). The absence of social support and the breakdown of community cohesion contribute to an environment where conflicts can easily escalate, with individuals resorting to violence and reprisals to protect their interests and assert their rights (Lischer, 2005; Schilz et al, 2023).…”

“…Linear regression is valued for its ease of implementation and interpretation, making it accessible to researchers and practitioners alike. As a result, linear regression is very popular in migration research and has been widely used to model the mental health of migrants (Alemi et al 2015;Costa et al 2020;Nesterko et al 2020;Schilz et al 2023;Walther et al 2020). However, its simplicity comes with limitations, as linear regression requires strict model assumptions such as the existence of the exact linear relationship between the response and predictor variables.…”
