Opis
Sažetak:This research aimed to examine the relationship between the psychosocial outcomes of unaccompanied minors and the time spent on the move. The study involved 75 unaccompanied minors aged 13 to 17 residing in Bosnia and Herzegovina in temporary reception centers, safe houses, or sleeping outdoors. A quantitative cross-sectional design was used, with data collected through a predefined questionnaire on migration conditions and the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ). Data were processed using correlation analysis and multiple linear regression. Results indicate that prolonged time spent on the move is positively correlated with increased emotional and behavioral difficulties. The findings underscore the need for expedited reception and integration processes to minimize the negative impact of prolonged migration. Prolonged stay in Bosnia and Herzegovina showed potential benefits for adaptation, though its effect was not statistically significant. These insights contribute to addressing the challenges faced by unaccompanied minors and optimizing interventions.
