Cette étude examine les conditions psychosociales des enfants réfugiés syriens et des enfants libanais vulnérables dans les écoles publiques libanaises. Un sondage a été réalisé auprès d’enfants syriens et libanais et de leurs parents. Des entrevues avec le personnel scolaire ont aussi été effectuées. L’étude démontre que la pauvreté et la guerre affectent de manière égale le bien-être émotionnel des enfants, les enfants syriens et libanais manifestant des niveaux similaires d’anxiété et d’hyperactivité. Alors que le passé comporte des facteurs de stress significatifs, des facteurs de stress présents et futurs ont aussi été identifiés chez les réfugiés. Cet article critique les paradigmes d’intervention psychosociale qui mettent l’accent sur les traumatismes passés, au risque de négliger les facteurs de stress présents et futurs. L’article soutient que les conditions psychosociales des réfugiés sont interprétées indépendamment de leur pauvreté, de leur statut social subordonné et des injustices locales dont ils font l’objet.
