Abstract

Bu çalışmada Suriye’deki savaştan sonra Türkiye’ye gelen Suriyeli üniversite öğrencilerinin göç esnasındaki deneyimlerinin ruh sağlığı üzerindeki etkisini incelemek amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaçla Suriye’deki savaşı deneyimleyen 11 gönüllü Suriyeli üniversite öğrencisi araştırmaya katılmıştır. Verilerin analizi için içerik analizi yapılmıştır. Analiz sonuçlarına göre göçmenlerin göç deneyimlerinin ruh sağlığı üzerindeki etkisi iki tema ile açıklanmıştır. Bu temalar göç nedenleri ve yolculuk deneyimleridir. Ruh sağlığını etkileyen temel faktörler fiziksel ve psikolojik şiddet, politik baskı, taciz, tecavüz, dolandırıcılık ve sevdiklerini kaybetmesidir. Katılımcıların göç sürecindeki olumsuz deneyimleri onların Türkiye’deki hayatını etkilemiştir. Nerede kalacaklarının belirsizliği, dışlanma korkusu ve eğitime devam edip edemeyeceklerinin belirsizliği onları endişelendirmektedir. Sonuç olarak özellikle travma başta olmak üzere göçmenlerin ruh sağlığını iyileştirme çabaları artabilir.
