However, a comparison within the German speaking area is lacking. In this article we compared samples of gender dysphoria clinics from Munster (Germany) and Zurich (Switzerland) and tested potential correlates of mental stress using quantitative methods. Subsequently, we interviewed clients from both clinics regarding mental stressors and protective factors. There were no quantitative differences in the level of mental stress of clients between Munster and Zurich, whereas health-related quality of life was significantly higher in Munster. Problems in physical well-being and school environment were the strongest correlates of mental stress. This reflects in the interviews, too, in addition to further related factors reported. We conclude that physical well-being and inclusion at school should be addressed with special emphasis in counseling or treatment of adolescents with gender dysphoria to counter the in average high levels of mental stress. Zusammenfassung Das Ausmaß psychischer Auff{\"a}lligkeiten bei Jugendlichen mit Geschlechtsdysphorie wird in vielen Studien als hoch beschrieben, unterscheidet sich jedoch in den Inanspruchnahmepopulationen verschiedener Spezialambulanzen f{\"u}r Jugendliche mit Geschlechtsdysphorie. Bislang hat kein Vergleich innerhalb des deutschsprachigen Raums stattgefunden. In diesem Beitrag werden die Inanspruchnahmestichproben der Spezialzentren in M{\"u}nster und Z{\"u}rich mit quantitativen Methoden verglichen sowie Korrelate von psychischen Auff{\"a}lligkeiten gepr{\"u}ft. Anschließend f{\"u}hrten wir Interviews mit Klient/innen1 der Spezialambulanzen hinsichtlich psychischer Belastungen und Schutzfaktoren durch. Es zeigten sich im quantitativen Vergleich der Zentren keine Unterschiede in den psychischen Auff{\"a}lligkeiten zwischen M{\"u}nster und Z{\"u}rich, w{\"a}hrend sich die gesundheitsbezogene Lebensqualit{\"a}t in M{\"u}nster als signifikant h{\"o}her erwies als in Z{\"u}rich. Als st{\"a}rkste Korrelate psychischer Belastung konnten Probleme im k{\"o}rperlichen Wohlbefinden sowie im schulischen Umfeld identifiziert werden. Dies spiegelte sich auch in den qualitativen Interviews wider, in denen weitere assoziierte Faktoren benannt wurden. Wir schlussfolgern, dass das k{\"o}rperliche Wohlbefinden und die schulische Integration in der Beratung bzw. Behandlung von Jugendlichen mit Geschlechtsdysphorie besonders ber{\"u}cksichtigt werden sollten, um der im Schnitt hohen psychischen Auff{\"a}lligkeiten entgegenzuwirken.}, subject = {Adolescent}, language = {de} } @article{StorckChristiansMoelleretal.2018, author = {Storck, Michael and Christians, Gundula and M{\"o}ller, Birgit and Dugas, Martin and Soto-Rey, I{\~n}aki}, title = {Conducting a Multilingual Study Researching Traumatised Refugees Utilizing a Patient-Reported Outcome System}, series = {Studies in health technology and informatics}, volume = {253}, journal = {Studies in health technology and informatics}, issn = {0926-9630}, pages = {109 -- 113}, year = {2018}, abstract = {Approximately 300,000 asylum-seeking children arrived in Europe in 2015.

Multilingual electronic patient-reported outcome systems (ePROs) can be used to gather medical data in a foreign language and display the results in the health professionals' language, which helps overcoming the language barrier. Utilizing such a system, a two-phase study aiming to screen refugee minors for potential mental health issues has started. Potential eligible participants are examined using questionnaires with good psychometric properties and cross-cultural applicability. To date, 75 minors and 21 of their relatives participated in the study, being German and Arabic the most desired languages for the electronic survey. Developing a system that provides multilingual questionnaires entails several drawbacks like a cumbersome translation process and dealing with writing directions. The proposed translation process and the ePRO can be re-used in similar studies.}, subject = {Child}, language = {en} } @article{SilkeMoeller2012, author = {Silke, Wiegand-Grefe and M{\"o}ller, Birgit}, title = {Die transgenerationale Weitergabe von Kriegserfahrungen aus dem Zweiten Weltkrieg {\"u}ber drei Generationen - eine Betrachtung aus psychoanalytischer Perspektive}, series = {Praxis der Kinderpsychologie und Kinderpsychiatrie}, volume = {61}, journal = {Praxis der Kinderpsychologie und Kinderpsychiatrie}, issn = {0032-7034}, doi = {10.13109/prkk.2012.61.8.610}, pages = {610 -- 622}, year = {2012}, abstract = {The paper presents some reflections on the transgenerational transmission of traumatic experiences of war and in particular bombing during Second World War.
