“…En esta línea, Rodríguez, De La Torre y Miranda (2002) destacan los tres principales grupos de problemas psicosociales generados por conflictos bélicos, los cuales son: 1) el desorden social, violencia y consumo de sustancias adictivas; 2) el miedo y la aflicción como consecuencia de los daños y pérdidas o por el temor a la recurrencia del problema; y 3) los trastornos psicopatológicos o enfermedades psiquiátricas evidentes. Más aún, estudios evidencian que los niños y las niñas son una de las poblaciones más vulnerables frente a conflictos armados, siendo ellos los más afectados en materia de salud mental, pues presentan niveles altos de ansiedad y depresión, entre otros (Feldmann & Vengrober, 2011;Lieberman, 2011;Pat-Horenczyk, Brom, & Lerner, 2014;Zikic, Krstic, Randjelovic, Nikolic, Dimitrijevic, & Jaredic, 2015).…”

There is substantial evidence that individuals affected by conflict suffer poor physical and mental outcomes, particularly in indicators of well-being. This study assesses the health-related quality of life (HRQoL), perceived stress and insecurity of Palestinian young adults in the West Bank. We surveyed 398 university students from Nablus (mean age = 20.1) using the SF-36 to measure HRQoL, the PSS-4 to assess stress and a context-specific insecurity instrument. A third of participants reported Israeli citizenship, and the results indicated better outcomes in these individuals in several outcomes, with the noteworthy exception of insecurity. This study is one of the first to assess citizenship of West Bank Palestinians as a potential covariate to predict measures of well-being. Because citizenship is such a meaningful issue for Palestinians and is related to individual freedom and access to resources, this study suggests that there are complex dynamics outside of typical demographic variables that contribute to well-being.
