Primary care of refugees and migrants : Lesson learnt from the EUR-HUMAN project = Menekültek, migránsok az alapellátásban : Mit tanulhattunk az EUR-HUMAN projekt eredményeiből?

In 2015, local wars, starvation and misery in some Middle Eastern, Asian and African countries forced millions of people to leave their homelands. Many of these people migrated toward Europe, reaching Hungary as well. The refugee crisis created significant challenges for all national healthcare systems across Europe.

The Perspective of the Affected : What People Confronted With Disasters Expect From Government Officials and Public Leaders

Despite available knowledge on appropriate psychosocial support for people confronted with death, loss, and severe stress in the context of major crises and disasters, it is crucial to understand what people affected expect from government officials and public leaders in the aftermath of an extreme event. Eight interviews with affected adult residents were conducted to explore their expectations and experiences in relation to government. This was done against the background of Park's (2016) model on meaning making.

Objectives

Psychosociale impact van de aardbevingen in Groningen : een analyse van beschikbare onderzoeken

De aandacht voor de psychosociale impact van de gaswinningsschade is recent sterk toegenomen. Er worden middelen vrijgemaakt voor extra ondersteuning en er wordt gezocht naar een goede aanpak daarvoor. Echter, om te komen tot een passende aanpak is eerst goede beeld- en oordeelsvorming noodzakelijk. Vanuit inzicht in de verwachte en feitelijke behoeften, gezondheidsproblemen, risicofactoren en beschermende factoren (hierna gezondheidsbeïnvloedende factoren) van individuen en gemeenschappen, kunnen bestuurders en organisaties gericht besluiten nemen over wat nodig is.

Measuring and modelling the quality of 40 post-disaster mental health and psychosocial support programmes

Disasters can have an enormous impact on the health and well-being of those affected. Internationally, governments and service providers are often challenged to address complex psychosocial problems. Ideally, the potentially broad range of support activities include a coherent, high-quality mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) programme. We present a theory-driven quantitative analysis of the quality of 40 MHPSS programmes, mostly implemented in European disaster settings.

Primary care for refugees and newly arrived migrants in Europe : a qualitative study on health needs, barriers and wishes

Background
 
In order to provide effective primary care for refugees and to develop interventions tailored to them, we must know their needs. Little is known of the health needs and experiences of recently arrived refugees and other migrants throughout their journey through Europe. We aimed to gain insight into their health needs, barriers in access and wishes regarding primary health care.
