Abstract:
The International Committee of the Red Cross runs an increasing number of mental health and psychosocial programmes integrated into health facilities in conflict settings across Africa. This study looks at changes in symptoms of psychological distress and impaired functioning among patients supported through such programmes. Following the intervention, the vast majority of patients reported reduced psychological distress (97.25% for IES-R and 99.11% for DASS21) and improved daily functioning (93.58%). A linear trend was found between number of individual sessions and reduction in symptoms of distress.
