“…Although IAT recorded a larger treatment effect than CBT in relation to improving resilience at the 6-week follow-up, the changes for both arms were small as were the difference in effects between them. The finding may reflect the lack of specificity of the measure used in relation to the specific focus of the therapy, which, in keeping with the informing model, is focused on the construct of adaptation, or more generally, that the measure used was not wholly congruent with concepts or ways of expressing resilience in the cultures of the participating groups [18,48], noting that the transcultural universality of the concept and/or measurement of resilience remains an issue of contention [49]. In contrast, IAT achieved favourable changes on the majority of scales of the ADAPT-derived measure (noting that the difference for the ASI-3 scale of injustice was equivocal, possibly reflecting the low endorsement of items on this scale).…”

Background This randomised controlled trial (RCT) aims to compare 6-week posttreatment outcomes of an Integrative Adapt Therapy (IAT) to a Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) on common mental health symptoms and adaptive capacity amongst refugees from Myanmar. IAT is grounded on psychotherapeutic elements specific to the refugee experience. Methods and findings We conducted a single-blind RCT (October 2017-May 2019) with Chin (39.3%), Kachin (15.7%), and Rohingya (45%) refugees living in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The trial included 170 participants receiving six 45-minute weekly sessions of IAT (97.6% retention, 4 lost to follow-up) and 161 receiving a multicomponent CBT also involving six 45-minute weekly sessions (96.8% retention, 5 lost to follow-up). Participants (mean age: 30.8 years, SD = 9.6) had experienced and/or witnessed an average 10.1 types (SD = 5.9, range = 1-27) of traumatic events. We applied a single-blind design in which independent assessors of preand posttreatment indices were masked in relation to participants' treatment allocation status.

“…Yakushko and Morgan (2012) classify the problems that immigrants experience as follows: difficulties in orientating into a new culture, challenges with the language, relational conflicts (domestic violence, intergenerational conflicts), economic pressures, discrimination, loss of social connections and social status. Although immigrants have many risk factors, their individual, familial and social support systems enable them to pass these risks without being affected or with a slight impact with cultural codes (Mawani, 2014;Pickren, 2014). For immigrants, language is the most important structure in which the culture is protected.…”

Streszczenie: Aktualnie obserwujemy na świecie wzrost zainteresowania badaczy problematyką uchodźstwa. Mimo faktu, że w Polsce relatywnie niewielka grupa cudzoziemców otrzymuje ochronę międzynarodową, to zakres badań prowadzonych przez przedstawicieli nauk społecznych (w tym pedagogów) poszerza się. Analiza treści literatury przedmiotu wskazuje na to, że wciąż brakuje opracowań poświęconych indywidualnym, jak też społeczno-kulturowym aspektom wspierania przymusowych migrantów (dzieci, młodzieży, dorosłych) przebywających na terenie kraju. Artykuł stanowi przegląd kierunków badań realizowanych w różnych krajach, które dotyczą zasobów odpornościowych uchodźców, w kontekście mechanizmu resilience, i ma na celu zasygnalizowanie ścieżek projektowania inicjatyw badawczych, jak również działań edukacyjnych wspierających proces integracji osób z doświadczeniem uchodźstwa w Polsce.Tekst składa się z trzech komplementarnych części. W pierwszej zostały zaprezentowane prawne aspekty sytuacji przymusowych migrantów w Polsce. W części drugiej ukazano główne wyzwania związane z integracją tej grupy osób. W części trzeciej, w odniesieniu do problematyki integracji, w szerszej perspektywie został przeanalizowany rozwój koncepcji resilience w naukach społecznych ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem przykładów prowadzonych na świecie przedsięwzięć badawczych, jak też egzemplifikacje działań praktycznych wzmacniających zasoby odpornościowe osób z doświadczeniem uchodźstwa. W artykule podkreślono potrzebę prowadzenia badań dotyczących indywidualnych, jak też społeczno-kulturowych czynników, wspierających uchodźców w pokonywaniu trudności adaptacyjnych i przeciwności losu. Na podstawie przeanalizowanych wyników badań można stwierdzić, że wzmacnianie zasobów indywidualnych i społeczno-kulturowych, związanych z wymiarem społecznym, kulturowym, politycznym, ekonomicznym i środowiskowym wspiera proces integracji przymusowych migrantów oraz dobrostan psychiczny zarówno samych uchodźców, jak i społeczeństwa przyjmującego.Słowa kluczowe: osoby z doświadczeniem uchodźstwa, integracja, zasoby odpornościowe, badania EDUKACJA MIĘDZYKULTUROWA 2021, nr 2 (15)
