Abstract

Profound consequences of forced migration include the destruction of social networks and loss of social support. This scoping review examined the landscape of interventions that promote social support among refugees in resettlement contexts. Findings from the analysis revealed the extent to which social support intervention research is a relatively nascent area of practice and research. The analysis also revealed creative innovations in intervention design and research. These innovations serve as a springboard for envisioning a new generation of programs and scholarship that acknowledge and substantively address needs for social connections among refugees in resettlement.

摘要

强迫移民的深远后果包括社会网络的破坏和社会支持的丧失。该范围界定审查审查了在重新安置背景下促进难民社会支持的干预措施的情况。分析结果揭示了社会支持干预研究在多大程度上是一个相对新兴的实践和研究领域。分析还揭示了干预设计和研究方面的创造性创新。这些创新是设想新一代项目和奖学金的跳板，这些项目和奖学金承认并实质性地解决了重新安置难民之间社会联系的需求。
