dc.description.abstractThis study investigated the psychosocial challenges that confront disaster-induced internally displaced women in official camps in Lagos State. The descriptive survey research design was adopted for the study. The purposive sampling technique was used to select 200 respondents. A well-structured questionnaire titled, “Psychosocial Challenges of Disaster-induced Internally Displaced Women Questionnaire” (PCDIDWQ) was used for gathering data for the study. A research question and two null hypotheses were tested using the t-test and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) statistics with a pre-set alpha of 0.05 level of significance. The findings revealed that family disintegration is the major psychosocial challenge of disaster-induced internally displaced women. It was equally revealed that there were no significant differences in the psychosocial challenges of respondents based on marriage type and number of children. Based on the findings of the study it was recommended that professional counsellors be actively involved in the provision of services such as trauma counselling, career counselling, and family counselling to disaster-induced Internally displaced women. Also, counsellors should place special focus on psychosocial challenges like trauma confronting disaster-induced displaced women.en_US
