Introduction
According to the United Nations High Commission for Refugees, places the Adult
refugees who have settled in Australia make the country rank 3rd among nations that take in the
highest number of asylum seekers in the world. The Agency notes the country’s determination to
help in solving the issue of displacement brought about by the civil and political unrest in the
Middle East. The Australian government is eager to take in many refugees from war-torn nations
in trying to assist the US in solving the issue of displacement. Adult refugees living in Australia
are vulnerable to tendencies of self-harm and suicidal behaviors due to Post Traumatic Stress
Disorder and Depression. According to a report by the Australian National Mental Health
Commission, however, the asylum seekers seldom get the attention they need due to their
refugee status. The commission found that seekers of asylum report rates of up to four times of
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, depression and anxiety compared to ordinary Australians. The
most affected section of the population was the Adult Tamil asylum seekers. Middle to old men
was of particular affinity to the disease.
The Australian government has created numerous legislations to try to contain the
refugee situation. Some of these legislations have directly affected the adult Tamil population
while others have changed them indirectly. The government established the Indefinite Mandatory
Detention law that keeps refugees arriving without visas on indefinite detention in government
facilities. The length of stay for people in detention was more than 450 days. Prison-like
conditions of detention expose Tamil adult refugees at the risk of depression. The government
adopted the use of community placements to ease the strain on asylum seekers. Asylum seekers
have a hard time finding employment, and this makes it hard for them to make ends meet.

According to Wichmann et al. (2017), Australia has granted the highest number of
offshore humanitarian visas to the Iraqi. Continued interactions between the Iraqi and the
Australian medics create a greater understanding of their mental health. Research into the mental
health of Iraqi refugees reveals high levels of emotional distress compared to the rest of the
population. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and Depression are the most common mental illness
affecting refugees. According to Tay et al. (2015), Nurses spend most of the time around the
patient extending their care for the efficient healing process. Changes in nursing education are
designed to make nurses at all levels leaders in the field of nursing care. Nurses are supposed to
work with multiple levels of staff and understand a vast area of health complications to assist
patients in need of their services.
The connection between Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and the determination process
for refugees involves static and dynamic issues. Refugees face various environmental factors in
their new countries of origin, which not only makes it hard for them to acquire the treatment they
need but also makes it hard for them to cope. Since the beginning of the Humanitarian Migration
Program of Australia in 2016, the country receives one of the highest numbers of refugees in the
world. Many of the seekers of asylum originate from the Middle East. Statistics from the
Australian Department of Border Protection show that more than 24,000 new immigrants arrive
in the country every year. Most of these refugees come from Syria and Iraq. Seekers of Asylum
face traumatic events before their migration into Australia may make adverse decisions out of
ignorance. The 2003 conflict in Iraq led to tremendous events of hostilities, which carry on to
this day. Refugees from Iraq to Australia now form the most significant number of immigrant
population.

Mental Health and Mental Illness
According to Slewa & Radulovik, (2014), History of the state and physical examination
of the patient are non-specific most of the time, and this limits their values in the clinical process
of investigation for Tamil adult refugees in Australia. Majority of Tamil adult refugees in
Australia with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder lack the symptoms that to explain their condition.
Few clinical tests can be used to increase the probability of testing for the state. Swellings on the
legs and the things can be determined by measuring the circumference of the thighs and the legs
(Simpson, 2014). Collateral superficial dilated veins and Oedema might be found on the
affected side of the leg or the thigh. The nurse should look out for tenderness on the path of the
deep veins. The inner anterior thigh experiences compression along the groin all the way to the
adductor canal.
The most common test for the Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder condition borders around
the administration of ultrasound. The doctor may recommend the dimer test for establishing the
venography (Mahimboa et al. 2017). A dime test measures the amount of substance in the blood
released when the blood dissolves. A high level of the element means a high level of a blood
clot. The contrary indicates a shallow level of the Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. The type of
treatment administered to the patient depends on some factors among them the length of time the
patient has experienced the pain in the leg and amount of pain present (Liew et al. 2015). The
model uses the patient’s descriptions to analyze feelings, make evaluations and conclusions, and
come up with practical solutions to the issue. The nurse begins by asking the patient to describe
the situation in detail. It is the primary stage of the model in which the nurse only wants to know
the events are they occur and in the right chronology (Knapperta et al. 2017). Some of the
questions asked at this stage include when and where the patient was at the time of the
