لقد ظل الأطفال العراقيون ضحايا للحروب والصراعات المتعاقبة لأكثر من قرن من الزمان، ويواجه أطفال سوريا نفس المصير الذي يواجهه العديد من الأطفال في جميع أنحاء العالم. نجد ان الحروب التي مرت عل العراق ومنها حرب داعش تركت تداعيات خطرة من الناحية النفسية وخصوصا على العراق وسوريا وعلامة لا تمحى على حياة الأطفال الذين عاصروها وعانوا ، المصاعب والصدمات. وقد حاول الباحث في هذه الدراسه إلى توضيح القضايا النفسية الاجتماعية الأساسية التي يواجهها الأطفال الذين نزحوا كلاجئين أو نازحين داخليًا نتيجة لهذا الصراع. استخدم الباحث العديد من اساليب الملاحظة والمقابلات ووثائق الحالات غير المنشورة، وقد سلطة الدراسة الضوء على التأثير الكبير للأزمات العراقية والسورية على الصحة العقلية والرفاهية الاجتماعية للأطفال في سن المدرسة. وتوصلت نتائج الدراسة الى مجموعة من التحديات العقلية والجسدية والاجتماعية التي واجهها هؤلاء الأطفال، بما في ذلك: اضطراب ما بعد الصدمة (PTSD)، والقلق، والاكتئاب، والسلوك العدواني، والعنف المنزلي، والعنف المدرسي. كما قدمت منظمات المجتمع المدني والمنظمات الدولية تدخلات ودعمًا نفسيًا واجتماعيًا ساعد معظم الأطفال المتضررين على التكيف مع الظروف. وقد اكدت نتائج الدراسة على الأهمية البالغة لتوفير تدخل شامل في مجال الصحة العقلية والدعم النفسي والاجتماعي للتخفيف من التحديات التي يواجهها هؤلاء الأطفال وأسرهم خلال هذه الفترة المضطربة.
