IJERPH, Vol. 17, Pages 693: The Perceptions of Trauma, Complaints, Somatization, and Coping Strategies among Syrian Refugees in Germany —A Qualitative Study of an At-Risk Population

Conclusions: War-related traumatic events are the most common trauma perceptions among Syrian refugees. The self-reported complaints demonstrate somatoform, depressive, and posttraumatic symptoms. Syrian refugees should be screened for somatization, depression, and posttraumatic stress disorder and should receive targeted interventions that consider and support individual coping resources.
