“…On the governmental level, financial support for the research teams, organizations, and services working in psychosocial realm of refugee crisis might be provided limited. In fact, Atar et al (2022) revealed how limited the scope of services provided by non-governmental organizations in Turkey due to limited access to financial support. Considering the insufficient basiclevel services for refugees by governmental and non-governmental organizations (Atar et al, 2022), the lack of programs supporting psychological health-protecting and promoting services might be expected.…”

This picture, however, does not diminish the importance of developing works that support the resilience of refugees; contrarily, as revealing the lack of services for promoting psychological health of refugee groups, it may highlight the importance of developing and evaluating such programs.…”

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of a 6-session hope-based intervention program on the levels of hope and psychological resilience of Syrian refugee children. The pre-test post-test control group design was implemented. A total of 42 Syrian refugee students in 5th grade participated in the study. 2 × 2 mixed ANOVA, independent sample t-test, and dependent sample t-test were conducted for data analysis. Mixed ANOVA revealed that the intervention group had more improvement in hope and psychological resilience scores compared to the control group. Dependent sample t-test revealed that while the hope and resilience scores of the intervention group were maintained, the hope scores of the control group significantly decreased. Independent sample t-test revealed a statistically significant difference between the post-test hope scores of the groups. Research findings supported that hope-oriented approaches can be effective in improving the resilience of Syrian refugee children in the long term.

“…In effect, refugees' social integration relies on markers and means (e.g., employment, housing, education, health), social connections (e.g., social bridges, social bonds, social links), facilitators (e.g., language and cultural knowledge, safety, and stability), and the basic foundations for success in a new land (safety, rights, and citizenship). However, given the racial, social, and economic divergences in resettlement countries, and in keeping with most Syrian refugees' experiences, a layer of exclusionary laws and policies tends to inhibit their opportunities for successful integration (Atar et al, 2022;Bruhn;Gonzales, 2023;Dionigi, 2023;Viczko;Matsumoto, 2022).…”

“…Since 2011, the Syrian refugee crisis has witnessed over 14 million people forced to leave their homes to seek safer spaces (Atar et al, 2022;Dionigi, 2023;Kalogeraki, 2022). According to the United Nations Refugee Agency (2023), over 70% of Syrians currently require humanitarian assistance and approximately 90% live below the poverty line.…”

“…To adequately answer the research questions, this study was framed around three conceptual theories: social integration after resettlement, refugee trauma and (re)settlement, and resilience among refugees. These themes informed researchers' analysis of the refugee family's shared stories of oppression, belonging, and resilience (Atar et al, 2022;Dionigi, 2023;Dryden-Peterson et al, 2017;Kalogeraki, 2022) in social and educational contexts, which play an essential role in examining the insufficient anti-racist approaches to supporting these populations (Pardy, 2023;El Chaar, 2020).…”

The increasing number of Syrian families seeking safety and security in Middle Eastern, European, and North American countries has given rise to conversations around resettlement and a timely and pertinent research theme. Through an arts-based lens reflecting on social integration post-arrival, trauma awareness, and resilience, this study follows one Syrian refugee family’s experience immigrating to Canada after living in Jordan, also as refugees. The study explores social and educational occurrences of oppression, belonging, and resilience among five family members (e.g., two parents and three children). The researchers postulate that refugee families need to adapt to a new country and meet the social expectations that often fall short of refugees’ new home’s reputation as a stable and safe place. The study informs critical refugee educational research and advocates for more situated resettlement practices in the facilitation of social integration.

Political crises, like the refugee crisis, present significant challenges to nation-states and public sector entities. The influx of refugees from Myanmar to Bangladesh has intensified over recent decades, notably after severe violence erupted in Myanmar’s Rakhine state on 25 August 2017. This study focuses on public service organizations, aiming to understand the impact of the Rohingya refugee crisis. Using a qualitative approach and drawing on existing literature, the research examines how the crisis affects the capacity of public healthcare providers in Bangladesh. The findings reveal both detrimental and beneficial effects on organizational functioning, including management, resource availability, and absorptive and adaptive capacities. Through data analysis, eight key themes emerge, such as changes in service quality, disease control, resource allocation dynamics, and impacts on professional knowledge, shedding light on the complex repercussions of the Rohingya refugee crisis on public healthcare services in Bangladesh.
