Resilience and Coping Strategies Among War-Affected Adolescents in the Middle East: A Systematic Literature Review

Abstract

Adolescents in war-affected regions of the Levant face extreme psychological and social challenges due to prolonged exposure to violence. This systematic literature review of 20 studies identifies coping strategies such as emotional expression, spiritual practices, and education-focused problem-solving. Resilience is supported by family, religion, and community structures. The study emphasizes culturally grounded mental health interventions.
