Cultural adaptation of a self-help app for grieving Syrian refugees in Switzerland. A feasibility and acceptability pilot-RCT.

Background: The global refugee population has significantly increased, with Syrian refugees being one of the largest displaced groups. Bereavement represents a major challenge. However, access to mental health care is limited by structural and cultural barriers.

Cultural adaptation of an internet-based self-help app for grieving Syrian refugees in Switzerland.

Background: Loss and grief pose significant challenges for victims of armed conflicts, such as Syrian refugees. Internet-based interventions (IBIs) present a promising solution to address this treatment gap and provide adequate support. However, research on grief, grief support, and IBIs remain largely limited to Western cultural contexts, and culturally adapted IBIs for grief are needed.
