“…Self‐care, teamwork, networking and cooperation between health care professionals is crucial. The following factors reduced stress: (i) communication with colleagues from own/other centers, (ii) team supervision, (iii) appreciation from clients/superiors/society and (iv) awareness of doing something meaningful (Binder et al, 2020). Finally, in this critical situation, where fears and uncertainty are involved, it is also important for health care professionals to disconnect from work and to take care of themselves.…”

“…Fenomena kekerasan disebabkan banyak faktor, salah-satu di antaranya ialah kemiskinan dan ketidakadilan sosial (Caruso & Schneider, 2011;Khattab et al, 2018), fundamentalisme agama (Ellis, 2017), dan prasangka sosial (Rowatt & Al-Kire, 2021). Kekerasan sangat berdampak pada suasana psikologis individu yakni stres (Nyarko et al, 2020;Binder et al, 2020) dan perasaan traumatik (Steel et al, 2009). Uniknya, belakangan ini konsentrasi penelitian psikologi cukup besar membahas perilaku negatif dibanding menonjolkan aspek positif dari perilaku manusia (Sumanto, 2006).…”

“…During the focus group sessions, the care providers explained that the HAP beneficiaries suffer tremendously as a result of their traumatic experiences. Each beneficiary suffered different traumatic experiences described by one social worker as an "individual scenario" [Focus group 01 Social workers; Position: [34][35]. These experiences are based on a "re-traumatization" what is further considered as re-acutalisation [Focus group 06 Psychotherapists; Position: 52-52] and "loss-trauma" as mentioned by a psychotherapist [Focus group 06 Psychotherapists; Position: 52-52] to describe the genocides in the past of the Yazidi community.…”

Background Traumatized refugees often suffer from diverse psychosomatic symptoms. Female Yazidi refugees from Northern Iraq who survived attacks of the so-called "Islamic State" were brought to Germany to receive special medical and psychotherapeutic treatment in a unique worldwide humanitarian admission program (HAP). Here, we report on their psychosomatic symptoms and helpful strategies from the perspective of care providers. Methods Care providers (N = 84) in this HAP were interviewed in an individual setting as well as in focus groups to gather information about the HAP beneficiaries' psychosomatic symptoms. Data analysis followed Qualitative Content Analysis by Mayring. Results The care providers reported five main psychological burdens of the Yazidis: 1) insecurity regarding loss, 2) worries about family members, 3) ambivalence about staying in Germany or returning to Iraq, 4) life between two worlds and 5) re-actualization of the traumatic experiences. The predominant psychological symptoms the care providers noticed were fear, depressive symptoms, feelings of guilt, and sleep and eating disorders. Regarding somatic symptoms, the care providers mainly received complaints about pain in the head, back, chest and stomach. Helpful strategies for providing adequate health care were care providers' cooperating with physicians, precise documentation of beneficiaries' symptoms, and additional support in directing the beneficiaries through the health care system. Regarding psychotherapy, interpreters help to overcome language barriers, onsite psychotherapy,
