Abstract

Asylum seekers can present with a wide range of psychological problems caused by traumatic experiences in the country they have fled. They may also experience adjustment problems in the host country. This article describes a nurse-led, three-phased model of intervention to aid recovery in stages, addressing the biological, psychological and social needs of the individual.
