众所周知，政治暴力会造成心理困扰。有大量的实证研究绘制战争创伤，酷刑和创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）之间的相关性。然而，在2010年至2012年“阿拉伯之春”起义后，很少有关于叙利亚难民战争创伤影响的研究。本研究探讨了创伤后应激障碍症状与酷刑和其他创伤事件之间的叙利亚库尔德难民生活在库尔德斯坦地区，伊拉克。使用哈佛创伤问卷，第一，第四，和第五部分的经验和创伤后应激障碍症状91叙利亚库尔德难民在伊拉克库尔德斯坦地区苏莱曼尼亚省的阿尔巴特营地进行了评估，结果显示，创伤后应激障碍症状的估计水平很高：35和38%之间。在PTSD症状的发生方面没有显著的性别差异。然而，男子报告的一般创伤经历多于妇女。创伤后应激障碍症状与创伤性事件、折磨呈显著正相关（r = 0.500，r = 0.366）。研究难民中酷刑和其他创伤事件对心理健康的影响，可能会对管理创伤事件受害者康复计划的组织产生影响。
Political violence is known to cause psychological distress. There is a large body of empirical studies drawing correlations between war trauma, torture, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). However, there are few studies on the effects of war-related trauma among Syrian refugees after events following the ‘Arab Spring’ uprisings between 2010 and 2012. This study examines the association of PTSD symptoms with torture and other traumatic events among Syrian Kurdish refugees living in Kurdistan Region, Iraq. The experiences and PTSD symptoms among 91 Syrian Kurdish refugees in the Arbat camp in the Sulaymaniyah Governorate of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq were assessed using the Harvard Trauma Questionnaire, sections I, IV, and V. Results showed that the estimated levels of PTSD symptoms were high: between 35 and 38%. There were no significant gender differences in the occurrence of PTSD symptoms. However, men reported more general traumatic experiences than women. There were significant positive correlations between PTSD symptoms with traumatic events and torture (r = 0.500, r = 0.366, respectively). Examining the mental health impact of torture and other traumatic events among refugees has possible implications for organizations managing rehabilitation programs for individuals who have been exposed to traumatic events.
