“Because we struggle to survive” Child Labour among Refugees of the Syrian Conflict | This study provides pertinent first-hand information on the reality facing Syrian children who are working either in their homeland, the neighbouring countries or elsewhere in Europe. Syria's civil war is the w...orst humanitarian crisis of our time. Hundreds of thousands of people - adults and children alike - have been killed. Two thirds of all Syrians have lost their homes and their livelihoods. Millions of Syrians have been uprooted from their home communities and forced to flee within their country or to neighbouring countries. The consistent spill-over has drawn global attention not just to the humanitarian crisis facing both local communities and national governments but also to the economic and social strain. The bloodshed wreaked by the different parties continues. The suffering deepens. Approximately half of the Syrian refugees and displaced persons are children and young people who suffer from a double-vulnerability: as children and as migrants or refugees.

Diese Studie liefert einschlägige Informationen aus erster Hand über die Lebenswirklichkeit von syrischen Kindern, die arbeiten müssen: in ihrem Heimatland, in den Nachbarstaaten oder in Europa. Der syrische Bürgerkrieg ist die schlimmste humanitäre Katastrophe unserer Zeit. Hunderttausende Men...schen – Erwachsene und Kinder – wurden getötet. Zwei Drittel aller Syrer haben ihr Zuhause und ihre Existenzgrundlage verloren. Millionen Syrer wurden aus ihrem Lebensumfeld gerissen und gezwungen, innerhalb ihres Landes oder in die Nachbarländer zu fliehen. Die enormen Auswirkungen auf andere Länder ziehen internationale Aufmerksamkeit auf sich. Diese richtet sich nicht nur auf die humanitäre Krise in den betroffenen Gebieten und Ländern, sondern auch auf deren wirtschaftliche und soziale Last. Das durch die verschiedenen Konfliktparteien verursachte Blutvergießen hält an, das Leid wird größer. Rund die Hälfte aller syrischen Flüchtlinge und Vertriebenen sind Kinder und Jugendliche: Diese sind doppelt verletzlich – als Kinder und als Flüchtlinge oder Vertriebene.

Fortbildung | VNR 2760602016064370005 | Hessisches Ärzteblatt 5/2016 | Die weltweit zu beobachtende Flucht von Menschen vor Krieg, Gewalt, Verfolgung und Hunger stellt auch für die medizinischen Versorgungssysteme in Deutschland eine große Herausforderung dar. Neben der Versorgung somatischer Kra...nkheiten kommt der Diagnostik und Therapie psychischer Erkrankungen eine hohe Bedeutung zu. In einer in einer bayrischen zentralen Aufnahmeeinrichtung für Flüchtlinge durchgeführten Studie wurden bei 63,6 Prozent der Flüchtlinge eine oder mehrere psychiatrische Diagnosen gestellt, wobei die Posttraumatische Belastungsstörung (PTBS) mit 32,2 Prozent am häufigsten vorkam. Die Angaben zur Prävalenz der PTBS in weniger belasteten Stichproben haben eine weite Bandbreite, die durch unterschiedliche Studiendesigns und durch unterschiedliche diagnostische Kriterien in der ICD 10 und dem DSM 5 bedingt sind. In den USA findet sich in der Allgemeinbevölkerung eine hochgerechnete Lebenszeitprävalenzrate von etwa 8 Prozent. In Europa liegen die Schätzungen mit 0,5–1 Prozent deutlich niedriger. Für Deutschland werden 1-Monatsprävalenzraten von 1–3 Prozent berichtet.
