GESYRES is an interdisciplinary project at the Ruhr-University Bochum. The project was a pilot study\u00a0<\/strong>initiated in 2015 by researchers of the Faculty of Psychology, and was joined by researchers from the Faculty of Social Sciences and the Faculty of Medical Sciences in early 2017. The research group focuses on Syrian families with young children who sought refuge in Germany during the past few years. Syrian refugees are a vulnerable population due to its vast number of experienced stressors (e.g. malnutrition, sleep deprivation, travelling) and adverse life events (e.g. armed conflict, torture, loss of loved ones, and loss of property) during the war and flight period, as well as during the post-migration phase. It is essential to establish systematic knowledge about refugee families\u2019 psychosocial status, risk and protective factors with impact on developmental outcomes to establish tailored health care programs and social interventions. The aim of GESYRES is to develop a coherent picture of biopsychosocial factors that influence the health needs of Syrian refugee families, as well as their social-cultural adjustment and psychological adaptation.<\/span><\/p>
