| Abstract |
War-torn children are particularly vulnerable through direct trauma exposure as well through their parents' responses. This study thus investigated the association between trauma exposure and children's mental health, and the contribution of parent-related factors in this association. A cross-sectional study with 263 Syrian refugee children-parent dyads was conducted in Turkey. The Stressful Life Events Questionnaire (SLE), General Health Questionnaire, Parenting Stress Inventory (PSI-SF), Impact of Events Scale for Children (CRIES-8), and Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire were used to measure trauma exposure, parental psychopathology, parenting-related stress, children's post-traumatic stress symptoms (PTSS), and mental health problems, respectively. Trauma exposure significantly accounted for unique variance in children's PTSS scores. Parental psychopathology significantly contributed in predicting children's general mental health, as well as emotional and conduct problems, after controlling for trauma variables. Interventions need to be tailored to refugee families' mental health needs. Trauma-focused interventions should be applied with children with PTSD; whilst family-based approaches targeting parents' mental health and parenting-related stress should be used in conjunction with individual interventions to improve children's comorbid emotional and behavioural problems. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 13. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 02 July 2021.
All research outputs
#2,647,654
of 24,831,063 outputs
Outputs from European Child & Adolescent Psychiatry
#306
of 1,788 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#59,098
of 454,644 outputs
Outputs of similar age from European Child & Adolescent Psychiatry
#13
of 39 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,831,063 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 89th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,788 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 11.8. This one has done well, scoring higher than 82% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 454,644 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 86% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 39 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 69% of its contemporaries.
