Abstract:
Background: To examine levels of psychological distress and help seeking behaviour in resettled refugeesattending English tuition classes in Australia, and their associations with participants demographic characteristics. Methods: Data was collected by bilingual interviewers between March and November 2013. A volunteer sample ofattendees of Adult Migrant English Programs (AMEP) in Western Sydney were recruited. Participants were twohundred and twenty five Iraqi refugees resettled in Western Sydney, who had left Iraq no earlier than 1991, werefluent in Arabic and/or English, and were between the ages of 18 and 70. The chief outcome measures used werethe Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K-10) as well as The Harvard Trauma Questionnaire (HTQ). Results: On the K-10, 39.8% of participants had severe psychological distress, 19.4% moderate distress, and 40.7%had low to mild distress. Ninety-five percent of participants reported having experienced one or more potentiallytraumatic event (PTE) as defined by the HTQ prior to leaving Iraq, with a mean of 14.28 events (SD = 8.69). Thirty-onepercent of participants met the threshold (≥2.5) for clinically significant PTSD symptomatology, with a significantlyhigher occurrence among participants with lower education attainment (χ2 (3) = 8.26, p = .04). Of those participantswith clinically significant PTSD symptomatology according to the HTQ, only 32.9% reported ever having ever soughthelp for a mental health problem. Conclusions: The high level of distress found in this sample, combined with low uptake of mental health care, highlightsthe need for programs targeted to promote help-seeking among Iraqi refugees who have resettled in Australia. Further,the higher level of PTSD symptomatology found amongst those with lower education attainment has mental healthpromotion and treatment implications. Specifically, in designing service and treatment programs, considerationshould be given to the possible impact excessive levels of psychological distress may have on learning in refugees, toensure that those who have been unable to develop proficiency in the English language receive effective care.
