abstract: 'Background Jordan has received more than three million refugees from
bordering countries during times of conflict, including over 600 000
Syrian refugees between 2011 and 2021. Amidst this humanitarian crisis,
a new mental health system for Syrian refugees has developed in Jordan,
with most clinical services administered through non-governmental
organizations. Prior studies have identified increased risk of
psychiatric disorders in refugee populations and significant barriers
for Syrian refugees seeking mental health treatment, but few have
reviewed the organization or ability of local systems to meet the needs
of this refugee population.
Methods Qualitative interviews of mental health professionals working
with refugees in Jordan were conducted and thematically analyzed to
assess efficacy and organizational dynamics.
Results Interviewees described barriers to care inherent in many refugee
settings, including financial limitations, shortages of mental health
professionals, disparate geographic accessibility, stigma, and limited
or absent screening protocols. Additional barriers not previously
described in Jordan were identified, including clinician burnout,
organizational metrics restricting services, insufficient visibility of
services, and security restrictions. Advantages of the Jordanian system
were also identified, including a receptive sociopolitical response
fostering coordination and collaboration, open-door policies for
accessing care, the presence of community and grassroots approaches, and
improvements to health care infrastructure benefiting the local
populace.
Conclusions These findings highlight opportunities and pitfalls for
program development in Jordan and other middle- and low-income
countries. Leveraging clinician input can promote health system efficacy
and improve mental health outcomes for refugee patients.'
