本研究的目的是分析多家庭群体对增加患有创伤后应激障碍 (PTSD) 的难民获得心理健康服务的影响。这项研究调查了芝加哥的一个名为咖啡和家庭教育与支持的九个多家庭小组，其中包括来自波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那的难民家庭。患有 PTSD 的成年人 (n = 197) 及其家人被随机分配接受干预或对照条件。结果表明，多家庭群体可以有效增加获得心理健康服务的机会，而讨论创伤时的抑郁和家庭舒适感介导了干预效果。需要进一步精心设计家庭干预研究，为难民家庭制定循证干预措施。
The purpose of this study was to analyze the effects of a multiple-family group in increasing access to mental health services for refugees with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This study investigated a nine-session multiple-family group called Coffee and Families Education and Support with refugee families from Bosnia-Herzegovina in Chicago. Adults with PTSD (n = 197) and their families were randomly assigned to receive either the intervention or a control condition. The results indicated that a multiple-family group was effective in increasing access to mental health services and that depression and family comfort with discussing trauma mediated the intervention effect. Further well-designed studies of family interventions are needed for developing evidence-based interventions for refugee families.
