Mental health of adult refugees in Sweden : A scoping review

Studies have indicated that the prevalence of mental health disorders among refugees has increased. The social capital and socioeconomic status of the host country are believed to influence the development and maintenance of mental health. This study aims to generate knowledge about the factors that affect adult refugees’ mental illness in Sweden and inquires as to the activities in the labor market for preventing mental illness among adult refugees in Sweden. This study was conducted using a scoping review method. The author analyzed 14 articles, and the results revealed that refugees are more prone to experiencing mental health problems, such as depression and anxiety, than native-born Swedes. This study revealed that the social capital and socioeconomic status of the host country may influence the development and maintenance of adult refugees’ mental health.
