Abstract

The plight of refugees is often characterized by harrowing tales of displacement, fleeing conflict, persecution, and other traumatic experiences that leave lasting scars on their mental well-being. With the huge pandemonium of mass migration, refugees deal with many tasks both physically and psychologically such as moving to unknown territories to processing the loss of home and family members (Jannesari et al., 2021). Language gap, social displacement, and being denied the most basic healthcare services just make it additional growth in their struggle to get re-assigned and start their recovery process. Within this context, addressing the mental health needs of refugees emerges not only as a humanitarian imperative but also as a critical aspect of social justice.

[...] This sampling strategy will ensure the inclusion of diverse perspectives and experiences, allowing for a comprehensive understanding of the mental health needs and challenges faced by refugees across different contexts (Almeida et al., 2017). Approaches will include the use of methods to attract participants from different demographic groupings such as different age categories, gender, race, and refugees who are just starting to face the problems of displacement or have been in that state for a long time. Data analysis in the quantitative phase will involve both descriptive and inferential statistical techniques. [...]

[...] Inferential statistics, such as chi-square tests and regression analyses, will be employed to explore relationships between various demographic and contextual factors and mental health outcomes. These statistical analyses will provide valuable insights into the factors that contribute to the risk of mental health problems among refugees and inform the development of targeted interventions and policies to address these issues effectively (Almeida et al., 2017).

[...] Because, untreated mental health problems will hurt individuals, their families, and communities (Yozwiak et al., 2022). Furthermore, the failure to provide adequate mental health support to refugees represents a violation of their fundamental human rights and perpetuates cycles of inequality and marginalization. Research Question The research question that has been generated and refined for this study is: Through which routes, such as cultural background, social networks, and availability of healthcare services, do these considerations impact the mental health of the refugees?
