Mental health literacy of resettled Iraqi refugees in Australia: knowledge about posttraumatic stress disorder and beliefs about helpfulness of interventions

摘要: Resettled refugees are a particularly vulnerable group. They have very high levels of mental health problems, in particular, trauma-related disorders, but low uptake care. Evidence suggests that poor “mental literacy”, namely, knowledge and understanding the nature treatment problems is major factor or inappropriate treatment-seeking among individuals with problems. This study used culturally adapted Mental Health Literacy Survey method to determine of, beliefs about, helpfulness interventions providers for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) amongst resettled Iraqi refugees.
