Secondary stressors among Syrian refugees in Jordan

Abstract

The study aimed to reveal the secondary stressors, among Syrian refugees in Jordan. To achieve the study objectives, the researchers build up the secondary stressors scale. The study sample consisted of (1095) male and female refugees, they were chosen based on the convenience sample. The study results showed the level of secondary stressors among the sample individuals was moderate. The results indicated that there were statistically significant differences on the secondary stressors scale attributed to variables (gender, age, number of years of residence in Jordan, place of residence, social status), and there were no statistically significant differences attributed to the variable (educational level).
