| dc.description.abstract | Refugees are exposed to traumatic experiences related to violence, death threat, hunger, trafficking, torture and much other criminal victimization. Such exposure makes the refugees vulnerable and adversely affects their psychological well-being. The purpose of this study was to examine the migration traumatic experiences among Eritrean refugees in Jiref, Khartoum Sudan. A mixed-method concurrent triangulation research design was employed to collect and analyze data. The study was carried out in Jiref district of Khartoum, Sudan. A total of 300 adult Eritrean refugees aged 18 and above were selected randomly to screen for pre-migration. A further qualitative sample of 10 participants was selected through extreme case sampling. Data was collected using Harvard Trauma Questionnaire. Qualitative data was collected using in-depth focus group discussion. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were applied to analyze quantitative data. The qualitative data was analyzed using thematic analysis. The study's main findings revealed high level of trauma symptoms among the refugees. As a result, the research's main recommendation was the establishment of counselling facilities to help refugees build resilience. | |
