O trauma e a resiliência em crianças podem ser investigados através de múltiplas vias, tanto na investigação como na prática clínica. A etiologia do trauma influencia significativamente as abordagens. Uma causa cada vez mais prevalecente é a migração forçada, que engloba a imigração, a solicitação de asilo e o deslocamento de refugiados. As crianças e os adolescentes destas origens enfrentam um risco acrescido de experiências traumáticas e têm maior probabilidade de desenvolver perturbação de stress pós-traumático (PTSD). Este tópico permanece largamente inexplorado tanto na investigação científica como entre os profissionais de saúde. A população que procura asilo não é sistematicamente avaliada quanto a traumas (nem quanto à motivação, nem quanto às atitudes em relação ao país de acolhimento, nomeadamente no que se refere à cultura, às normas sociais, à língua e aos pares nativos, nem quanto aos locais de trabalho e às escolas nos países de acolhimento) relacionados com o processo de asilo ou com experiências anteriores à migração, aquando da entrada nesses países. Assim, a necessidade crescente de acolher refugiados e requerentes de asilo de diversas origens apresenta desafios urgentes que continuam por resolver nos seus países de destino, particularmente no que respeita à avaliação da perturbação de stress pós-traumático (PTSD) e à elaboração de uma estratégia de inclusão bem orientada. À medida que a deslocação global continua a aumentar, os países de destino enfrentam desafios urgentes e complexos, particularmente no que diz respeito à avaliação da perturbação de stress pós-traumático (PTSD) e ao desenvolvimento de políticas de integração inclusivas e baseadas em evidências.

Trauma and resilience in children can be investigated through multiple avenues in both research and clinical practice. The etiology of trauma significantly influences approaches. One increasingly prevalent cause is forced migration, encompassing immigration, asylum seeking, and refugee displacement. Children and young adolescents from these backgrounds face a heightened risk of traumatic experiences and are more likely to develop Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). This topic remains largely unexplored in both scientific research and among healthcare providers. The asylum-seeking population is not systematically assessed for trauma (neither for motivation nor attitudes toward host country in regard to culture, social norms, language, and native peers, nor in workplaces and schools in the receiving countries) related to either the asylum process or pre-migration experiences upon entering host countries. Thus, the increasing need to host refugees and asylum seekers from diverse origins presents urgent challenges that remain unaddressed in their destination countries, particularly in the area of the assessment of PTSD and regarding a motivated and well-driven inclusion strategy. As global displacement continues to rise, destination countries are confronted with urgent and complex challenges, particularly regarding the assessment of PTSD and the development of inclusive, evidence-based integration policies.

Este número especial convida à apresentação de contributos empíricos e teóricos, incluindo revisões exaustivas da literatura e meta-análises, que contribuam para a compreensão dos métodos de diagnóstico e avaliação da perturbação de stress pós-traumático (PSTP) em crianças e adolescentes. As contribuições devem centrar-se nos instrumentos, protocolos e critérios utilizados no diagnóstico da PSPT em populações pediátricas. Os tópicos relevantes podem incluir o panorama atual das práticas de diagnóstico, a influência das políticas de inclusão na integração social e na aculturação das crianças, bem como a perceção das famílias sobre o trauma e os respetivos tratamentos. A questão não se limita ao trauma e à resiliência resultantes da mobilidade forçada em crianças. Com uma abordagem multidisciplinar que conta com contributos das áreas da psicologia, do trabalho social, da saúde pública e da educação, este número especial incentiva a apresentação de trabalhos de vozes menos ouvidas, por exemplo, em termos geográficos, de estatuto minoritário ou de perspectivas dos utilizadores dos serviços.

This Special Issue invites empirical and theoretical contributions, including comprehensive literature reviews and meta-analyses, that advance the understanding of diagnostic methods and assessments for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in children and adolescents. Submissions should focus on the tools, protocols, and criteria employed in PTSD diagnosis within pediatric populations. Relevant topics may include the current landscape of diagnostic practices, the influence of inclusion policies on children’s social integration and acculturation, and family perceptions of trauma and subsequent care pathways. This is not limited to trauma and resilience (in children) originating from forced mobility. With a multidisciplinary approach that draws input from the psychological, social work, public health, and education field, this Special Issue encourages submissions from less heard voices, for example, in terms of geography, minority status, or service users’ perspectives.
