Summary: COUNSELLING WITHIN A COMPREHENSIVE PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSISTANCE
PROGRAM TO REFUGEES IN CAMPS
Within a comprehensive program of psychological assistance to 2,500
refugees in a
camp, counselling has a distinct yet unconventional role. The program
operates within an
outreach community mental health paradigm. In addition to standard
individual
counselling approach, because of refugees' reluctance to openly seek help,
counselling
had to be integrated within other interventions, e.g. emotional and social
support to
families; social skills development for children; help in structuring
leisure time,
screening of PTSD cases. Lessons learned from almost four years of
experience in
delivery of comprehensive direct psychosocial assistance program to
refugees were
described.

Summary: Two groups of refugee families participated in the program
aimed at preventing children's mental health problems: those
accommodated in a collective shelter or with host families. A
considerable range of stress-related reactions among displaced
children were identified. The higher incidence of stress
reactions was related to mothers' overall poor ability to cope
with displacement. Children in the shelter were at higher
mental health risk than their peers housed with host families.

Summary: PSYCHOSOCIAL SUPPORT IN A REFUGEE SHELTER IN CROATIA
Acknowledging the importance of supportive environment as a
mediator between war-related and displacement experience and
the psychological functioning of children, the mental health
professionals have developed programs which aim at preventing
psychological problems among displaced people and refugees.
The program described in this article is the oldest program of
this kind in Croatia and was initiated in August 1991 when the
first refugees came to the city of Zagreb. The model under
which the program operates (Ajduković, D., 1993) can be
briefly described as a primary mental health prevention
program. Its basic assumptions are: (1) multiple sources of
stress are present in displacement, (2) stressors have
cumulative effect over time, (3) displaced people and refugees
are mentally healthy individuals exposed to extremely
intensive stressors and are therefore at risk for their mental
health, (4) the displaced are not a homogeneous group, but
have group-specific and individual needs and coping resources,
(5) there are groups and individuals among the displaced who
are at exceptionally high risk and need special attention,
like children and the elderly, and (6) adequate interventions
can help eliminate some sources of stress, reinforce available
resources, improve coping skills, and moderate manifestations
of stress. A range of intervention activities was described.
This project attempted to make the transition and adaptation
to the current reality as easy as possible. Hopefully this
will help build the refugees' resilience to future stressors
which they will inevitably have to meet. The project provided
services to the more needed of support, counselling and
referral. This is a very slow and trying process, with many
ups and downs, but overall the progress towards these goals is
evident.

Summary: The level and structure of knowledge on nuclear energy
among two groups of subjects of opposed
attitudes concerning nuclear power plants and interacting links of the
three groups of variables that are
considered as most important in establishing human relations to
environmental hazards have been studied in
this paper: knowledge, attitudes and perceived hazard: 308 subjects of both
sex, students of senior academic
years from faculties in Zagreb participated in the research: Factulty of
Science, Electical Engineering,
Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture and Faculty of Philosophy.
These subjects were selected
because owning to the presumed different knowledge structure levels, as
well as attitudes concerning nuclear
power-plant.
The results have shown that the group with a more positive attitudes
concerning nuclear power-
plants shows a higher level of knowledge. In other words, they have better
knowledge of facts that are in
agreement with their attitudes than those not supported by attitudes.
Correlation analysis of knowledge,
attitudes and perceived hazard has shown that the subjects with the most
negative attitudes concerning
nuclear power-plant show also poorer knowledge of facts. The correlation
between attitudes and hazard
perception (r=0.45) indicates subjects with a more prominant hazard
perception among those with more
negative attitudes. A correlation between knowledge of facts and hazard
perception was not found.
Implications of results obtained are discussed in the paper.

same refugee shelter for two years. Over a period of time
there were signs of their deteriorating mental health.

Summary: Displaced families are exposed to stress before having to
flee, during flight and throughout displacement. Sources of
current stress i displacement were analyzed. Stressful events
mobilize available coping resources, while failure to regain
balance with the environment may result in psychosocial
adaptation difficulties. Relations between sources of stress
and adaptation problems were illustrated by data from a
refugee center.

Summary: DEVELOPMENT OF COMPREHENSIVE PSYCHOSOCIAL PROGRAMS FOR
REFUGEES IN CAMPS
A comprehensive program of psychosocial support to 2,500 refugees in a camp
has been
developed over a period of one year. It operates within an outreach primary
prevention
paradigm with the basic assumptions: (1) refugees are exposed to multiple
sources of
stress which have cumulative effect, (2) refugees are mentally healthy
individuals who
have suffered traumatic stress and are therefore at risk for their mental
health, (3)
refugees have group-specific and individual needs and coping resources; (4)
there are
groups and individuals who are exceptionally vulnerable and need special
attention, (5)
interventions can help eliminate some sources of stress, reinforce
resources, improve
coping skills, and moderate manifestations of stress, and (6) services
provided within the
camp should integrate with the local social services. Some of the
interventions developed
are the following: emotional and social support to families; play and
social skills
development for children; support for children with learning difficulties;
helping parents
deal with their children's distress; help in structuring leisure time;
facilitating mutual
support groups; individual counselling; alcohol abuse prevention program;
screening and
treatment of PTSD cases; group work with depressive women; monitoring and
care for
psychiatric patients.

Meeting: 23rd International Congress of Applied Psychology. Symposium: Stress and Psychological Adaptation of Refugees
Held: from 07/17/94 to 07/22/94
Summary: STRESS AND PSYCHOLOGICAL ADAPTATION OF REFUGEES
Most of the refugees are exposed to traumatizing experiences before fleeing
their homes
and during the flight. But they endure prolonged stress during their
lasting displacement.
Their everyday experiences, breakdown of social support, loss of social
networks and
social status, new cultural environment in which they try to establish new
life, all
contribute to their feeling of helplessness. This accumulates atop of the
earlier traumas
thus making refugees a group at high mental health risk. Signs of refugees'
distress and
deteriorating mental health are evident in areas like problem behavior,
disruption of
interpersonal and family relations, psychological disfunction, and
increased
psychosomatic and psychopathological symptomatology. In the symposium data
and
observations will be presented regarding the extend of traumatic
experiences,
psychological reactions and adaptation problems of current refugees from
the former
Yugoslavia. Intervention programs and experiences from several countries
where these
refugees have found safe heaven will be presented. Programs of providing
psychosocial
help to refugees in camps will be presented. This will be an opportunity to
address the
common and culture-specific issues both regarding approaches, working
techniques, and
caveats of providing psychological services to refugee children, adults and
families.

Meeting: IV European Conference on Traumatic Stress
Held: from 05/07/95 to 05/11/95
Summary: POSTTRAUMATIC AND DEPRESSIVE SYMPTOMATOLOGY IN REFUGEES:
CORRELATES, PREDICTORS AND CHANGES
Posttraumatic reactions and depression among 51 refugee
mothers living in a collective center were assessed together
with a number of possible predictors. Posttraumatic reactions
were tapped using a PTSR scale (Cronbah alpha .89) and the
Zung Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS) (alpha .81). Intrusive
reactions, emotional numbing, and psychosomatic reactions were
most often reported. The depression level was found to be
higher than in a comparable sample of non-refugee women. The
predictors included primary appraisals of the threat,
secondary appraisal of control over the events, self-
assessment of coping, self-competence and external locus of
control, family separation, having small children, stress
symptomatology in the child, and the interviewer's assessment
of exposure to current stressors. Linear regression analysis
revealed that the set of predictors could be used to predict
both the levels of posttraumatic reactions (R=.72) and the
depression (R=.70). Comparison of the PTSR scores over a
period of 18 months and SDS scores in 14 months in which
follow-up assessments were done several times, clearly
indicated that the mental health status of this group of
refugees deteriorated while living in displacement. This was
more evident among the individuals who seemed to be better
adapted at the first assessment period. The highest
deterioration was tapped by the PTSR subscale of somatic
reactions. The results can be interpreted within the proposed
model of psychosocial adaptation in displacement.

Summary: Stress Events Scale is a chek-list containing 26
stress events related to the war. The events were
estimated by 30 psychologists involved in psycholosocial support of war
victims. The events were estimated
following the procedure by Holmes and Rahe (1967). Each item was estimated
on the scale from 1 (event is
not stressful) to 100 (event is maximaly stressful for person). The average
intensity of stressfulness was
calculated for every events and events were ranged according to their
stressfulness. The scale can be used
for the estimation of war stress experienced by war victims.
