目前，已有超过100万叙利亚和巴勒斯坦难民逃离叙利亚前往黎巴嫩避难。在这些弱势群体中，老年难民值得特别关注，因为他们面临着许多额外的健康和安全问题，需要额外的资源。然而，老年难民的具体需求常常被忽视，特别是在危机时期。我们的研究采用半结构化访谈来调查老年难民的需求，并了解他们对黎巴嫩实地工作人员的支持的看法。结果表明，老年难民中抑郁症和认知缺陷的患病率很高，他们对疾病、孤独、战争和不稳定表示担忧。长辈们强调了家庭联系对于促进安全和常态以及在冲突时期建立复原力的重要性。长老们谈到他们的角色类似于与他们互动的社会工作者，因为他们是社区情感支持的来源。总体而言，这项研究阐明了提高老年难民福祉所需采取的措施，并敦促人道主义组织采取应对措施，加强难民营内的心理支持结构。
Currently, over 1 million Syrian and Palestinian refugees have fled Syria to take refuge in Lebanon. Among this vulnerable population, elder refugees warrant particular concern, as they shoulder a host of additional health and safety issues that require additional resources. However, the specific needs of elder refugees are often overlooked, especially during times of crisis. Our study used a semi-structured interview to survey the needs of elder refugees and understand their perceived support from Lebanese fieldworkers. Results indicate a high prevalence of depression and cognitive deficits in elder refugees, who expressed concerns surrounding illness, loneliness, war, and instability. Elders highlighted the importance of family connectedness in fostering security and normalcy and in building resilience during times of conflict. Elders spoke of their role akin that of the social workers with whom they interacted, in that they acted as a source of emotional support for their communities. Overall, this study clarifies steps to be taken to increase well-being in elder refugee populations and urges the response of humanitarian organisations to strengthen psychological support structures within refugee encampments.
