Away from Home: Psychological Well-Being of Syrian Children at Azraq Refugee Camp in Jordan
Betawi, Iman Amy
Early Child Development and Care, v189 n5 p846-854 2019
This study examines the relationship between levels of exposure to war and the psychological symptoms on the well-being of displaced children at Azraq Refugee Camp in Jordan. One hundred and thirty-three parents of children aged 0-12 years completed a survey that measures exposure to violence, and the impact of such exposure. The findings indicated that the shock level experienced by the children was high, while the symptoms' level that followed the shock was moderate. There is a significant difference between males and females in the physical symptoms where females scored higher than males did. There is a significant score gap between children according to age as to the exposure scale, where children aged 7-12 years scored higher. The findings revealed statistically significant relationship between children's exposure to war and symptoms on their psychological well-being. Recommendations and implications are discussed.
