Abstract

In this study, it is aimed to identify depression and anxiety disorder frequency and possible risk factors on immigrant Syrian women. This study was planned as a cross-sectional study. The study included 279 Syrian migrant women. The data were evaluated by SPSS 23.0 statistical package program. Pearson's chi-square test, Mann-Whitney U Test and Kruskal Wallis Test were used. The level of statistical significance was accepted as p <0.05.%56,6 of participants does not have depression. 66.1% of the participants had mild anxiety and 24.2% were severe. There are few studies about Syrian immigrants so it is required to do many more studies on this topic and there are not any studies similar to this one. As the transfer of trauma to generations can be more intense, especially in immigrant mothers, it shows the necessity to take preventive measures for their children.
