ABSTRACT

Psychological distress is prevalent among North Korean refugees, but their associations with forced repatriation to North Korea have not been empirically investigated. In this study, we defined forced repatriation as a constellation of torture experiences and investigated whether forced repatriation is associated with various clusters of psychological symptoms among North Korean refugees. Six hundred thirty-two North Korean refugees participated in this study. Significant differences in the psychological symptoms of refugees with and without the experience of forced repatriation were found. As a result of past exposure to torture, refugees who experienced forced repatriation reported more severe psychological symptoms than their counterparts without such experience. The findings suggest that premigration trauma shares differential associations with different clusters of psychological symptoms.

难民的酷刑经历和心理健康问题:遣返朝鲜对精神疾病的影响

摘要

心理困扰在北朝鲜难民中普遍存在,但是尚未对他们与强迫遣返北朝鲜的关系进行过实证研究。在这项研究中,我们将强迫遣返定义为遭受酷刑的经历,并调查了强迫遣返是否与朝鲜难民中的各种心理症状有关。六百三十二名北朝鲜难民参加了这项研究。发现有或没有强迫遣返经历的难民在心理症状上存在显着差异。由于过去遭受酷刑,经历过强迫遣返的难民比没有经历过这种经历的难民表现出更为严重的心理症状。
