Duygu düzenleme, bireylerin duygularını tanıma, kontrol etme ve ifade etme süreçlerini içeren temel bir beceridir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Suriyeli çocukların duygu düzenleme süreçlerini incelemek ve bu süreçleri etkileyen aile, travmalar ve diğer sosyoekonomik faktörler üzerinden bir yol haritası sunmaktır. Bu doğrultuda, kapsam derlemesi prosedürüyle dahil edilme kriterlerini taşıyan 18 makale incelenmiştir. İnceleme sonucunda “travmanın etkileri”, “duygu düzenlemede sosyal kaynaklar”, “duygu düzenlemede ebevenlik kaynağı” ve “duygu düzenleme için gereklilikler” olmak üzere dört ana temaya ulaşılmıştır. “Travmanın Etkileri” teması, travmanın şiddetinin, çocukların duygusal düzenleme becerilerinin, sosyal desteğin ve iyileşme süreçlerinin önemli olduğunu vurgulamaktadır. “Duygusal Düzenlemede Sosyal Kaynaklar” teması, çocukların ve ergenlerin duygusal düzenleme süreçlerinde sosyal çevrenin rolünü, kültürel ve sosyal faktörlerin etkisini yansıtmaktadır. “Ebeveynliğin Duygusal Düzenleme Kaynağı Olarak Rolü” teması, ebeveyn tutumlarının çocukların duygusal ve sosyal gelişimini nasıl etkilediğine odaklanmaktadır. “Duygusal Düzenleme İçin Gereksinimler” teması, çocukların duygusal düzenleme becerilerini güçlendirmek için aile, toplum ve kurum düzeyinde iş birliğinin önemini savunmaktadır. Çalışmamız, savaş ve göç deneyimlerinin çocukların psikolojik ve sosyal işlevselliğini olumsuz etkilediğini, ancak aile desteği ve kültürel duyarlılığın iyileşmeye katkı sağladığını göstermektedir. Çocukların duygusal gelişimini desteklemek için aile, okul ve toplum temelli multidisipliner müdahalelerin önemine vurgu yapmaktadır. Gelecek çalışmalar için, farklı sosyal dinamiklere sahip Suriyeli çocukların karşılaştırılması ve terapötik müdahalelerin etkinliğinin araştırılması önerilmektedir.

A Scoping Review on the Effects of War and Migration on Emotion Regulation In Syrian Children

Öz

Emotion regulation is a fundamental skill that appropriately recognizes, controls, and expresses emotions. This study aims to examine the emotion regulation processes of Syrian children and provide a roadmap based on the impact of family, trauma, and other socioeconomic factors. A scoping review was conducted, analyzing 18 selected studies that met the inclusion criteria. The review identified four main themes as “Effects of Trauma,” “Social Resources in Emotion Regulation,” “Parental Role as an Emotion Regulation Resource,” and “Requirements for Emotion Regulation.” The “Effects of Trauma” theme highlights the significance of trauma severity, children’s emotion regulation skills, social support, and recovery processes. The “Social Resources in Emotion Regulation” theme reflects the role of social environments and the influence of cultural and social factors on children’s and adolescents’ emotional regulation. The “Parental Role as an Emotion Regulation Resource” theme focuses on how parenting attitudes shape children’s emotional and social development. Finally, the “Requirements for Emotion Regulation” theme emphasizes family, community, and institutional collaboration to strengthen children’s emotion regulation skills. Our study reveals that war and migration experiences negatively affect children’s psychological and social functioning. However, family support and cultural sensitivity contribute to recovery. It also underscores the importance of multidisciplinary interventions involving families, schools, and communities to support children’s emotional development. Future research should compare Syrian children with different social dynamics and examine the effectiveness of therapeutic interventions.
