Resilience and coping mechanisms have a crucial role in mitigating the negative impact of war-related trauma.
The determinants of traumatic stress that increased the of mental health problems were also identified, including exposure to violence and destruction, loss of family members and friends. War-related traumatic experiences were common among children. Results The identified studies used various measurement tools and instruments to assess mental health outcomes, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, depression, and resilience. Relevant studies were assessed according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Methods The review follows Arksey and O'Malley's methodological framework, including a systematic search of eight databases. Objectives Firstly, to identify and synthesize the existing knowledge available in peer review articles about the consequences of war-related trauma reactions among young people, and secondly to investigate the mechanisms of resilience in the context of Gaza Strip. It has caused significant psychological and social suffering, particularly children and young people. The subsequent three chapters refer to the results of the current study and finally a chapter summarizes the results in German.īackground The long-standing Israeli–Palestinian conflict has escalated since the beginning of the 20th century, resulting in a humanitarian crisis in Palestine. In the first chapter, a literature review of the existing publications on the topic of the transgenerational impact of trauma and displacement is presented and the outstanding research questions are discussed. This thesis includes a review and three articles, which consider the topic from different perspectives. Finally we investigated the factors that might affect the willingness of Palestinians to reconcile with Jews and the state of Israel.
A path model was constructed to demonstrate how the influence of traumatic experiences was transmitted to the second generation. In this study we examined the intra-family trauma communication style (i.e., disclosure/silencing) as a mediator variable. For the purposes of this review, it was investigated whether second-generation individuals were affected by war-related trauma to which first-generation individuals were exposed. This review summarizes studies on the intergenerational influence of the Palestinian disaster in 1948 (i.e., NAKBA).
