Resumen
La migración es un fenómeno social muy presente en nuestros días, siendo las migraciones forzosas las que ocupan un mayor tamaño a nivel mundial. Dentro de este tipo de migración, la población de refugiados ha aumentado considerablemente. A esto se le suma, la existencia de un elevado número de menores que huyen de situaciones de peligro, siendo más vulnerables aquellos que no están acompañados. La propia condición de refugiado, que trae consigo la exposición a todo tipo de situaciones, conlleva un aumento en la probabilidad de padecer trastornos mentales teniendo mayor incidencia el Trastorno de Estrés Postraumático (TEPT) y otros trastornos concomitantes como depresión o ansiedad. Este trabajo presenta una revisión sistemática de 10 estudios que evalúan el estado psicológico y la incidencia futura de posibles trastornos mentales en la población de menores refugiados, además de identificar aquellos factores que influyen en su salud mental.
Migration is a social phenomenon highly present in our days, where forced migrations occupy a large size throughout the world. Within this type of migration, the refugee population has increased considerably. Added to this, is the existence of a high number of minor refugees fleeing dangerous situations, those who are unaccompanied being more vulnerable. Refugee status itself, which brings exposure to all kinds of situations, leads to a greater probability of suffering from mental disorders, with a higher incidence of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and other concomitant disorders such as depression or anxiety. This work presents a systematic review of 10 studies that assess the psychological state and future incidence of possible mental disorders in the population of refugee minors, in addition to identifying the factors that influence their mental health.
