“…Being unable to reasonably solve these conflicts often results in psychological problems [ 48 – 51 ]. Although the self-reports of migrant children living in European countries show high levels of ill health and unmet health-care needs [ 52 – 55 ], counselling centres, psychotherapeutic institutions and schools only rarely have culture and language-sensitive offers for adequately advising migrant minors and their families [ 56 ].…”

Summary Background The symptoms following a traumatic event as well as the coping strategies can be culture specific. The objective of the present study was to analyse the transcultural differences of psychologically traumatized children and adolescents with and without migration background. Methods The medical files of 199 psychologically traumatized children and adolescents (99 native Austrian, 100 Turkish-speaking) who were treated at the Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry in Vienna were retrospectively analysed. Results The most frequently observed causes of trauma in patients with Turkish migration background were intra-familial conflicts, forced separation from parent(s), and conforming to a new environment. In native Austrian patients, forced separation from parent(s) and divorce or separation of parents were the leading causes of trauma. Trauma-related symptoms like changed mood, cognitive and perceptual disturbance, social withdrawal, sleeping problems, somatisation and behavioural problems were similarly observed in both groups; “sleeping problems” were more often observed in Austrian patients, and “behavioural problems” were more often observed in Turkish patients. More Austrian patients (32.7%) obtained psychiatric and psychotherapeutic treatment. Turkish-speaking patients mostly obtained psychiatric treatment only. Patients with migration background were more compliant compared to indigenous patients. Conclusions Both study groups differed in type, causes and symptoms of trauma, and in preferred therapy. Turkish-speaking patients were more compliant with therapy, as they received culture and language-sensitive medical advice and treatment in their mother tongue. Considering the cultural background of patients can optimize service delivery and therapy outcomes among children and adolescents with stressful and traumatic experiences.

“…Finally, public policy, schools, and school medical centers may evaluate and identify the immigrant students with higher socioeconomic difficulties and higher school, behavior, and health-related difficulties to help them to reduce their problems with the collaboration of general practitioners (carers most consulted by adolescents for their physical health, mental health, and substance use [17]), other carers, social workers, and their parents. However, it should be noted that counselling services, psychotherapeutic institutions, and schools are seldom sufficiently prepared or equipped for dealing with children and families’ concerns [65]. Education on mental health for immigrants and education about cultural differences for specialists are important for the advancement of suicide prevention [66].…”

The risk of suicide behaviors in immigrant adolescents varies across countries and remains partly understood. We conducted a study in France to examine immigrant adolescents’ likelihood of experiencing suicide ideation in the last 12 months (SI) and lifetime suicide attempts (SA) compared with their native counterparts, and the contribution of socioeconomic factors and school, behavior, and health-related difficulties. Questionnaires were completed by 1559 middle-school adolescents from north-eastern France including various risk factors, SI, SA, and their first occurrence over adolescent’s life course (except SI). Data were analyzed using logistic regression models for SI and Cox regression models for SA (retaining only school, behavior, and health-related difficulties that started before SA). Immigrant adolescents had a two-time higher risk of SI and SA than their native counterparts. Using nested models, the excess SI risk was highly explained by socioeconomic factors (27%) and additional school, behavior, and health-related difficulties (24%) but remained significant. The excess SA risk was more highly explained by these issues (40% and 85%, respectively) and became non-significant. These findings demonstrate the risk patterns of SI and SA and the prominent confounding roles of socioeconomic factors and school, behavior, and health-related difficulties. They may be provided to policy makers, schools, carers, and various organizations interested in immigrant, adolescent, and suicide-behavior problems.

“…Bezüglich des Besuchs von Kindertagesstätten nähern sich Kinder mit Migrationshintergrund ab vier Jahren den deutschen Kindern an, über 80 % von ihnen besuchen deutsche Kindergärten (Konsortium Bildungsberichterstattung, 2006). Diese Kinder durchlaufen alle Stufen des deutschen Betreuungs-und Bildungssystems, welches durch die kulturelle und soziale Heterogenität der Zuwandererfamilien sowie durch eventuelle Traumatisierungen vor oder während der Migration (Adam, 2009) vor beträchtliche Herausforderungen gestellt wird. Nach der repräsentativen KiGGS-Studie leiden nach Elternangaben auf dem Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) bereits in der Altersgruppe der Drei-bis Sechsjährigen mit 10 % mehr als doppelt so viele Kinder aus Migrantenfamilien als Kinder ohne Migrationshintergrund (4,4 %) unter psychischen Auffälligkeiten, und zwar insbesondere unter emotionalen Problemen, Verhaltensproblemen und Peer-Problemen (Hölling, Erhardt, Ravens-Sieberer, Schlock, 2008;Kuschel, Heinrichs, Bertram, Naumann, Hahlweg, 2008).…”

Die Entwicklung des Emotionswissens und der behavioralen Selbstregulation bei Vorschulkindern mit und ohne MigrationshintergrundPraxis der Kinderpsychologie und Kinderpsychiatrie 59 (2010) Summary The Development of Emotional Understanding and Behavorial Self-Regulation in Kindergarten Children from German and Immigrant FamiliesThe present study explores whether kindergarten children with and without immigrant parents in Germany differ in respect to their emotion understanding (TEC) and their behavioral selfregulation (HTKS). 356 three-to-six-year-olds with germanborn parents were contrasted with 155 children with at least one parent who was born abroad. In addition, influences of children's age, gender, and their receptive understanding of the German language were included in the analyses. There were strong effects for migration background and no main effects for gender. When children's language abilities were included in the analyses, the significant influence of having at least one immigrant parent on emotion understanding and behavioral self regulation disappeared. Moreover: receptive language skills that are related to parents' migration status exerted themselves a significant influence. Children with at least one non-german parent were on average less proficient in their receptive language abilities, their emotion understanding, and their behavioral self-regulation than children of two germanborn parents. The function of language for the acquisition of emotion understanding and self regulation is discussed.
