Abstract
Background: A systematic and meta-analysis of the prevalence of anxiety and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in immigrants was conducted.
Methods: Based on the keywords, scientific databases were systematically searched to identify articles. The search included the three databases PubMed, Google Scholar and Research Gate until June 2020. The analysis was performed to assess the prevalence of anxiety and PTSD; subgroups were examined based on anxiety disorders.
Results: The prevalence of agoraphobia, PTSD, generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), social phobia and specific phobia were 4, 25, 9, 4, 3, 5 and 8%, respectively.
Conclusions: Considering the findings of the present study regarding the significant prevalence of anxiety and PTSD in the immigrant population, it is necessary to pay special attention to the mental health of this population.
背景:对移民中焦虑和创伤后应激障碍(PTSD)的患病率进行了系统和荟萃分析。方法:根据关键词系统检索科学数据库进行文献检索。搜索包括PubMed, Google Scholar和Research Gate三个数据库，直到2020年6月。进行分析以评估焦虑和PTSD的患病率;亚组根据焦虑障碍进行检查。结果:广场恐惧症、创伤后应激障碍、广泛性焦虑障碍(GAD)、惊恐障碍、强迫症(OCD)、社交恐惧症和特定恐惧症的患病率分别为4%、25%、9%、4%、3%、5%和8%。结论:考虑到本研究中移民人群中焦虑和创伤后应激障碍的显著患病率，有必要特别关注这一人群的心理健康。
