PLoS ONE 15(10):Įditor: Stephan Doering, Medical University of Vienna, AUSTRIA (2020) Care providers’ views on burden of psychosomatic symptoms of IS-traumatized female refugees participating in a Humanitarian Admission Program in Germany: A qualitative analysis. After grief therapy, a trauma-specific therapy in a culturally adapted way is possible.Ĭitation: Rometsch C, Denkinger JK, Engelhardt M, Windthorst P, Graf J, Nikendei C, et al. In the care providers’ experience, psychotherapists have to build a relationship of trust. Regarding psychotherapy, interpreters help to overcome language barriers, onsite psychotherapy, flexible therapy appointments, psychoeducational methods, time for stabilization, and support in coping with daily life aspects.
Helpful strategies for providing adequate health care were care providers’ cooperating with physicians, precise documentation of beneficiaries’ symptoms, and additional support in directing the beneficiaries through the health care system. Regarding somatic symptoms, the care providers mainly received complaints about pain in the head, back, chest and stomach.
The predominant psychological symptoms the care providers noticed were fear, depressive symptoms, feelings of guilt, and sleep and eating disorders. The care providers reported five main psychological burdens of the Yazidis: 1) insecurity regarding loss, 2) worries about family members, 3) ambivalence about staying in Germany or returning to Iraq, 4) life between two worlds and 5) re-actualization of the traumatic experiences.
