Abstract There is existing evidence that suggests that refugees’ mental health is often impaired by pre-migratory stress, by their experience of being asylum seekers and also by their resettlement adversities; however, little is known about the specific mental health issues of male refugees. The current research is set in this context and it aims to explore multiple levels of stress that male refugees experience after they have been granted Leave to Remain (refugee status) in the U.K. A total of nine male refugees took part in the study; they were interviewed individually and the interview transcripts were analysed by the use of Thematic Analysis. The overall findings indicated that being granted Leave to Remain worsened participants’ mental health, as they had to face new challenges such as seeking employment and accommodation, as well as their general struggle to settle in the U.K. Participants indicated that the type of support available to them was quite poor. These findings are relevant in order to support specific intervention strategies to promote male refugees’ mental health.

准予男性难民获得居留许可后提高其心理健康（难民身份）

摘要现有证据表明，移民前的压力，寻求庇护者的经历以及移民的困境经常会损害难民的心理健康。但是，对于男性难民的具体心理健康问题知之甚少。当前的研究是在这种背景下进行的，其目的是探索在英国获得男性居留许可（难民身份）后的男性难民所承受的多重压力。总共有9名男性难民参加了该研究。他们分别接受了访谈，并通过主题分析对访谈笔录进行了分析。总体调查结果表明，准予保留假令参与者的心理健康恶化，因为他们不得不面对新的挑战，例如寻找工作和住宿，以及他们在定居英国方面的一般努力参与者表明，他们所能获得的支持非常差。这些发现是有意义的，以支持促进男性难民心理健康的特定干预策略。
