| Abstract: | Objective: To explore the social support or services which are important for refugee mental health. Method: The cross-sectional research was conducted on 50 refugees in the Mala Gorica Refugee Center, Croatia. Mental health (the GHQ), social support (the Lubben Social Network Scale), social services, and desire for immigration were inquired about. Results: Refugees with strong anxiety and depression felt more disadvantaged in medical services and desired more to live in the center permanently. Highly depressed refugees had more traumatic experiences. Discussion: It is desirable for refugees to contine living in the center, provided they have good access to medical services. |
