The current study’s aims were to develop and validate a measure of acculturative stress among Iranian diaspora population. The instrument of 27 items was administered to a total of 610 Iranian students studying in Malaysian universities. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses offered evidence for a reliable and valid sixfactor construct that assess a range of stresses for Iranian diaspora: 66 F. Dokoushkani, R. Juhari, A. Abdollahi, S. Motevaliyan, R. Villanueva, and Z. Chen 1) Concern about finances and a desire to stay in any country except Iran (CF); Language difficulties (LD); 3) Interpersonal stress (IS); 4) Stress from new culture and desire to return to Iran (SNC); 5) Academic pressure (AP); and 6) Stress from new rules and regulations (SNR). This measure was among the first to assess acculturative stress among an Iranian diaspora population and may be useful in future studies.

Psychological distress may differ by ethnic affiliation among recent Iraqi refugees due to a combination of risk and resiliency factors. To explore this hypothesis, data were collected from a study conducted over the course of a year (June 2016 to May 2017) of Iraqi refugees screened within one month of arrival to the United 2 C. Arfken, M. Alsaud, E. Mischel, L. Haddad, S. Sonderman, J. Lister, A. Javanbakht States; the screening used the PTSD Checklist Civilian for trauma symptoms and the Hopkins Symptoms Checklist for anxiety and depression, and these markers were analyzed. Of the 52 Iraqi refugees (59.6% women, mean age=38.4), 18 identified as Chaldean or Christian and 34 as Arab, presumably Muslim. Mean scores on trauma, anxiety, and depression symptoms were significantly elevated with moderate effect sizes (d=0.51 for trauma and d=0.63 for depression) and large effect size (d=0.80 for anxiety) in Arab compared to Chaldean refugees. All measures of psychological distress and a oneitem selfrating of the impact of war and migration were correlated. These findings suggest that among recently resettled Iraqi refugees in the U.S., Arabs had higher psychological distress than Chaldeans. To maximize resettlement success, we need to examine ways to reduce their distress.
由于风险因素和复原力因素的综合作用，最近的伊拉克难民的心理困扰可能因种族关系而异。为了探索这一假设，研究人员从一年中(2016年6月至2017年5月)对抵达美国后一个月内进行筛选的伊拉克难民进行的一项研究中收集数据。C. Arfken, M. Alsaud, E. Mischel, L. Haddad, S. Sonderman, J. Lister, a . Javanbakht;采用创伤症状的创伤后应激障碍平民检查表和焦虑和抑郁的霍普金斯症状检查表进行筛查，并对这些标记进行分析。在52名伊拉克难民中(59.6%为女性，平均年龄为38.4岁)，18人被认定为迦勒底教徒或基督徒，34人被认定为阿拉伯人，可能是穆斯林。与迦勒底难民相比，阿拉伯难民在创伤、焦虑和抑郁症状上的平均得分显著升高，具有中等效应量(创伤d=0.51，抑郁d=0.63)和大效应量(焦虑d=0.80)。所有心理困扰的测量和一项关于战争和移民影响的自我评价都是相关的。这些发现表明，在最近重新安置在美国的伊拉克难民中，阿拉伯人比迦勒底人有更高的心理压力。为了最大限度地提高安置成功率，我们需要研究减轻他们痛苦的方法。

Although suicide is a major cause of death among young people worldwide, few studies has been done on the prevalence of suicidal ideation among Muslim students. In addition, no studies were found on the relationship between students’ suicidal ideation with premarital romantic relationships and the five daily Islamic prayers. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of suicidal ideation in a sample of Iranian university students, and to study its relationship with romantic relationships and the five daily Islamic prayers. The methodology involved 421 available Iranian university students completing a questionnaire asking about current and past suicidal ideation, suicide attempts, and associated potential risk/protective factors. Of the subjects, 15.9% reported lifetime suicidal ideation, 11.9% lifetime suicide plan, and 7.8% lifetime suicide attempt. Male gender, marital separation, substance use, and other- sex romantic relationships were associated with increased odds of lifetime suicidal ideation (p<0.05), while female gender, the five daily Islamic prayers, and religious salience were associated with reduced odds. Limitations of this study include its small sample size and low generalizability. Suicidal ideation may be more prevalent than expected in the university students. The role of Islamic prayers and romantic other- sex relationships deserves further study in this regard.

This paper describes a female patient with major depressive disorder with psychotic features, who underwent mainstream psychiatric treatment complemented with ruqyah shar’iyyah (incantations based on Qur’an and prophetic traditions) healing in Malaysia. The patient faced the stigmatization of mental health within her family and had poor coping mechanisms, in addition to an incomplete understanding of what characterizes a religiously observant Muslim faith healer, in 46 Zul Razali, Nor Ab Rahman, and Supyan Husin the early phases of her illness. The patient had periods of noncompliance with psychiatric care in between various ruqyah shar’iyyah, treatment periods, and faced a relapse that led to hospital admission. The patient’s outcome improved after she complemented her psychiatric treatment with ruqyah shar’iyyah, that complied with Islamic creed and law. The importance of the interrelated systems of medical and psychospiritual treatments needs to be emphasized as it is crucial to the psychological wellbeing of the patient. The case report illustrates that ruqyah shar’iyyah, a practice encouraged by the Prophet Muhammad is believed to be a therapeutic remedy for any disorder, and can be used as complementary spiritualbased treatment to mainstream psychiatry, bringing multiple benefits across various cultural groups of Muslims.

This qualitative study examined frontline service providers’ perspectives on Muslim women’s experiences of intimate partner violence (IPV). Participants shared their knowledge and practical experiences in working with Muslim women IPV survivors. Themes emerged in discussions with service providers included: Immigration, Collectivist and Authoritarian Culture, Patriarchy, Honour and Shame, and Faith. These findings revealed the multiple cultural elements that mutually intersect and interact within the broader cultural values that drive IPV resources. These results add to the body of research in support of infusing additional crosscultural training in service providers’ education and developing culturally informed inter-
