Abstract

The psychological resources that refugee women bring to bear in refugee camps are important predictors of their and their families’ eventual adaptation to their country of final settlement. This article reports on a study of the psychological status of 59 Vietnamese Chinese women in refugee camps in Hong Kong who were awaiting permanent resettlement. It describes the factors that affected the women's levels of health and depression and presents implications for social work services and social policy. © 1989, Sage Publications.
