There is thus an urgent need to improve the understanding and care of mental health issues for Syrian asylum seekers and refugees arriving in the United Kingdom.
One of the most concerning and least addressed mental health issues for asylum seekers and refugees across Europe is suicidal ideation (SI) and suicidal behavior more broadly [6].

Approximately 274,000 refugees were hosted by Sweden between the years 2015 and 2020 [1], with more than one-third of the refugees originating from the Arab Republic of Syria and Iraq. Of all refugees from Syria and Iraq, 48% were aged between 15 and 26 years [1]. Previous research has shown that immigration may lead to dramatic changes in an individual’s social, financial, psychological, and cultural status.

Similarly, Canadian immigrants and refugees have noted barriers to accessing quality care in relation to culture, communication, socioeconomic status, and health care system structure [4,5,16]. For example, a significant number of Canadian immigrants and refugees are unable to converse with health care providers due to language barriers that impact both access to and quality of care [17-23].

A 2012 pilot of cohort monitoring among Palestinian refugees with diabetes and hypertension at an UNRWA (United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East) primary health care clinic in Jordan showed that EMRs were a valuable monitoring mechanism, with potential to improve the quality and continuity of care for diabetes and hypertension [11,12].

By recent estimates, this includes 6.7 million displaced within Syria and 6.8 million refugees living abroad [2]. Of those displaced, over 1 million Syrians have reached Europe. As asylum seekers and refugees, they are likely to experience high rates of mental health issues, including major depressive disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, and suicidality [3].

Knowledge about the COVID-19 disease and its transmission has been shown to be limited among asylum seekers and refugees [8-10]. For example, in a study with Arabic- and Farsi-speaking adult refugees in Germany, the refugee groups displayed significantly less knowledge about COVID-19 and less engagement in preventive behaviors than matched nonrefugee participants [8].

Basic Medical Training for Refugees via Collaborative Blended Learning: Quasi-Experimental Design
Critical academic approaches that take a more liberatory focus question the impact of higher education in propagating a system that keeps refugees contained and oppressed. In addition, the evolution of higher education in refugee contexts is often characterized as a neocolonial enterprise.

In 2019, Arabic was one of the most widely spoken languages among refugees [1] (ie, someone who has been forced to flee their country because of persecution, war or violence; has a well-founded fear of persecution for reasons of race, religion, nationality, political opinion or membership in a particular social group; and that most likely cannot return home or are afraid to do so [2]) worldwide.

A Self-Help App for Syrian Refugees With Posttraumatic Stress (Sanadak): Randomized Controlled Trial
According to the United Nations Refugee Agency in 2019, the unprecedented number of 26 million individuals worldwide have been seeking shelter as refugees [1]. As a result of displacement and adverse associated experiences such as torture, trauma, and loss, refugees have an increased risk of mental ill-health [2]. In Germany, Syrians who have escaped the ongoing civil war since 2010-2011 represent the largest group among refugees.

Hence, providing traumatized refugees with initial stabilizing treatment may be very helpful until the refugees’ surroundings are sufficiently stable for trauma confronting treatment approaches.
Evidence is growing that stabilization techniques positively affect refugees’ mental health [7-9]. In this context, stabilizing and guided imagery techniques in line with Reddemann [10] are promising treatment approaches for adult and minor refugees with PTSD in individual and group therapy approaches [11-14].
