“…Providers should also accept that encounters with non-English speaking refugees require more time and it may take multiple visits to fully discuss a topic as complex as mental health. A patient-centered approach, as stated by Rhema and colleagues, 36 can help to overcome barriers, "the refugee experience is one of disempowerment. Refugees are best served when provided with education about procedures and services that include opportunities of choice.…”

Refugees share a common experience of displacement from their country of origin, migration, and resettlement in an unfamiliar country. More than 17 million people have fled their home countries due to war, generalized violence, and persecution. US primary care physicians must care for their immediate and long-term medical needs. Challenges include (1) language and cultural barriers, (2) high rates of mental health disorders, (3) higher prevalence of latent infections, and (4) different explanatory models for chronic diseases. This article discusses management strategies for common challenges that arise in the primary care of refugees.

“…Research indicates that if training and best practices for screening are offered to providers who interact with refugees in health care settings, it would be possible to increase awareness of this issue, the number of referrals to services, and the evidence needed to apply for more grants and funding for those services (Shannon et al, 2016 ). Those trainings could also result in services that are more sensitive to the unique needs and concerns of this culturally diverse population (Rabin & Willard, 2014 ; Rhema et al, 2014 ; Shannon et al, 2015 ).…”

To achieve equity for refugee patients in mental health care settings, patient-centered, trauma-informed, and cultural humility practices have gained recognition; however, the use of these practices is not well defined. The implementation process of these practices may require providers’ increased self-efficacy, motivation, and cultural intelligence (CQ). Overall, this study aims to understand training needs of health care providers to be able to provide refugee patients with culturally meaningful, patient-centered, and trauma-informed care. This is an explanatory sequential mixed-methods study and surveys (n = 20) were followed by in-depth interviews (n = 7) with health care providers. The results indicate that there is a positive relationship between providers’ self-efficacy and CQ. The interviews revealed three major themes including sources of self-efficacy, the importance of trust-building, and creating trauma-informed healthcare systems. The findings suggest that a trauma-informed, patient-centered training focusing on self-efficacy and CQ enhancing activities for health care providers can improve mental health services for refugee patients.

“…Therefore, early mental health screening is crucial. However, the role and the use of diagnostic assessments have been debated over years (Hollifield et al, 2002;Rhema, Gray, Verbillis-Kolp, Farmer, & Hollifield, 2014). In addition, children often exhibit a mixture of the symptoms, not necessarily fulfilling a single diagnostic category (e.g., for PTSD or Depression) (Palic, Kappel, Nielsen, Carlsson, & Bech, 2014;Steel et al, 2009;Teodorescu, Heir, Hauff, Wentzel-Larsen, & Lien, 2012).…”

The study sought to examine the possible indirect trauma indica- tors among refugee children’s drawings. We have analyzed draw- ings of refugee children and non-refugee children as controls (5 - 9 years old). The content and Pickard’s expressive strategies for mood depiction were analyzed on 464 drawings. The content analysis revealed different content-specific categories across groups, with the category of Violence/War appearing significantly more in the drawings of the refugee group. and being used as one of the trauma indicators. The analysis revealed that negative mood was depicted by more complex and detailed drawings in both groups. An expressive strategy, namely the literal strategy, appeared to be specific to the refugee group only (e.g., absence of facial characteristics), while different patterns of non-literal ex- pressive strategies were observed in conveying mood between the two groups. Our findings suggest that the drawings can be used as a triage tool to assess the emotional status of refugee children.
