Purpose

Because refugees deal with significant trauma during their displacements, they experience adverse health effects and poor life experiences. This study aims to examine the predictors of refugees’ mental health, emotional well-being and life satisfaction.

Design/methodology/approach

This study used a cross-sectional design with a quantitative methodology using public data. Seven hundred and forty-five refugee participants from Myanmar who relocated to Bangladesh completed a questionnaire.

Findings

Multiple regression findings revealed that stability, sociability and self-worth predicted mental health and life satisfaction. In addition, gender, age, stability and self-worth predicted emotional well-being.

Originality/value

The paper’s findings provide meaningful insights into addressing health and well-being concerns in refugee populations.
