The purpose of this study was to test collective trauma, quality of life and resilience in narratives of Palestinian refugee children. The sample consisted of (30) children aged (14–16) years selected exclusively from five (5) Palestinian refugee camps (Balata, Askar, Ein Beit al-ma’, Nur Shams, and Jenin) established after the 1948 Nakba in the West Bank region of Palestine. Results demonstrated that children in today’s Palestinian camps suffer from collective trauma, they considered the 1948 Nakba as a ‘losing’ experience as it has affected all generations of Palestinian refugees. Results also showed that children in Palestinian camps suffer from poor quality of life; they live in very narrow homes and places, with lack of stadiums and recreational facilities. Participants of this research, however, appeared to demonstrate a high level of resiliency, positive self-efficacy, and responsibility to deal with difficult and stressful events; despite poor quality of life and collective traumatic experiences they have had.

这项研究的目的是检验巴勒斯坦难民儿童叙述中的集体创伤，生活质量和复原力。样本包括（1）1948年纳克巴（Nakba）战后建立的五（5）个巴勒斯坦难民营（Balata，Askar，Ein Beit al-ma'，Nur Shams和Jenin）中的（30）岁（14-16）岁儿童。巴勒斯坦的西岸地区。结果表明，当今巴勒斯坦难民营中的儿童遭受集体伤害，他们认为1948年纳克巴峰会是“失败的”经历，因为它影响了所有世代的巴勒斯坦难民。结果还表明，巴勒斯坦难民营中的儿童生活质量较差；他们生活在狭窄的房屋和地方，缺乏体育场和娱乐设施。但是，这项研究的参与者 似乎表现出高水平的应变能力，积极的自我效能感以及负责处理困难和压力大的事件的责任；尽管他们的生活质量很差，并且经历过集体的创伤经历。
