Abstract

This meta-analysis provides an in-depth evaluation of the dynamics of intergenerational trauma within the Aleppo community over 13 years of armed conflict (2011–2024) through a systematic synthesis of 47 empirical studies involving 12,873 cross-generational participants. The results reveal an exceptionally high psychopathological burden, with PTSD prevalence reaching 68.4% (95% CI = 65.2–71.6) in the first generation and 42.3% (95% CI = 39.1–45.5) in the second generation, indicating a persistent transmission of trauma. Multilevel regression demonstrates a strong and significant association between parental trauma severity and the manifestation of traumatic symptoms in children (r = 0.62, p < .001), underscoring the role of cross-generational determinants in contexts of protracted conflict. Major depressive disorder is identified in 55.7% of parents and 37.2% of children, while anxiety prevalence reaches 61.3% in the first generation and 44.8% in the second generation. Structural equation modeling reveals three principal pathways of trauma transmission, namely maladaptive parenting patterns dysfunctional family communication, and anxiety modeling processes. These findings extend beyond the analyses of Amping et al. (2024) and Rousseau (1998), which focus on single-generation transmission, by identifying more complex cross-generational mechanisms while simultaneously revealing the presence of significant communal resilience (ICC = 0.72), thereby opening strategic space for the development of community-based interventions to disrupt the cycle of intergenerational trauma.

Abstract

This study evaluates the effectiveness of telemedicine in the provision of mental health services in Middle Eastern conflict regions through a systematic meta-review of 47 studies published between 2014 and 2024, involving a total of 12,487 participants. Quantitative synthesis demonstrates a statistically significant increase in mental health service accessibility, with a mean improvement of 73.4% and a 95% confidence interval of 68.2–78.6% compared with conventional service models. Patient satisfaction reached 82.6% with p<0.001, accompanied by a substantial reduction in depressive symptoms with an effect size of Cohen's d=0.79 and a reduction in anxiety symptoms with Cohen's d=0.84. Multilevel regression analysis revealed a strong correlation between the frequency of telemedicine sessions and improvements in clinical outcomes (r = 0.67, p < 0.001). When compared with the findings of Ruzek et al. (2016) and Yeager et al. (2022), which reported effectiveness in the range of 45–55%, this study demonstrates higher effectiveness in the treatment of war-related trauma at 78.9% (p<0.001). In contrast to Graham et al. (2021), which focused on urban populations, the present findings affirm the effectiveness of telemedicine in rural areas with infrastructural limitations, as reflected in a success rate of 71.2%. Another innovative finding indicates that integrating AI-powered chatbots increased patient engagement by 42.8% while simultaneously reducing dropout rates by 31.5% compared with conventional telemedicine approaches.
