“…Political issues are being discussed widely, less is known about the refugees discussed much, less known about its effects on the Turkish health care system. [6][7][8][9][10] There is no data present in the literature, regarding basic surgical procedures performed on refugees. According to the results of this study, it was found that 17% of the refugee patients who were hospitalized in KTRH had undergone a surgical procedure.…”

Surgical procedures are critical components of healthcare services; however, they are usually neglected during public health interventions due to misperceived high costs and limited benefits. Estimating surgical needs for refugee individuals in the host country would help humanitarian aid planning and strategical development of national surgery capacity for resource allocation. The present research aimed to analyze the surgical procedures of refugees.Material and Method: 2703 of 15725 hospitalized refugee patients, underwent a surgical procedure during February 2015 and December 2018. Demographic data of the patients such as age and gender, risk classification according to the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA), the anesthesia type, type of the surgical procedures, intraoperative blood transfusion rates, admission incidence to intensive care unit (ICU), and mortality rates were recorded. The surgical procedures divided into groups according to the surgical branches and analyzed.Results: Distribution of two-thirds of the surgical procedures among medical branches was obstetrics and gynecology, orthopedics and traumatology, general surgery and plastic, reconstructive, and aesthetic surgery. The most common surgical procedures were C-section, appendectomy, disorders of bone integrity, and wrist injuries. Conclusion:Approximately one sixth of the refugee patients treated in our hospital underwent various surgical procedures. Our results should be taken into account by governments in planning humanitarian assistance, budgeting sources, and improving surgical capacity for the rapidly growing number of refugees worldwide. In addition, the support of international organizations such as WHO (World Health Organization) will be needed for a country to meet the health expenses arising from these refugees.

Aim: The Syrian citizens mass-migrated mostly to Turkey along with Lebanon, Jordan, and Iraq because of internal conflicts. Having access to health care is of great importance in such crisis situations. The aim of this study is to reveal the characteristics and the frequency of admission to health services of Syrian refugee patients, who have admitted to a tertiary hospital in Ankara. Material and Methods: The patients of Syrian nationality who have admitted to Ankara Numune Training and Research Hospital between 03.2014-02.2017 were included irrespective of their age in this descriptive retrospective study. Medical records were reviewed for available information such as the registered province, age, gender, number of patients, outpatient clinic, number of hospital admissions and emergency applications, the frequency of the diagnosis international classification of diseases (ICD) code, surgery status, surgery type, and the frequency of imaging requests. Results: The total number of Syrian citizens was 2,205. The top three ICD diagnosis codes are "Symptoms, signs, and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified (R00-R99)", "Factors influencing health status and contact with health services (Z00-Z99)" and "Diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue (M00-M99)". The most frequented clinic was the emergency medicine. Conclusion: Most of the applications are the problems that could be diagnosed and treated in primary care. It is thought to be more effective that Syrian patients could be followed closely by family physicians, in term of patients and cost.

“…Bu travmatik olayların etkilendiği mültecilerin kayda değer bir kısmının çocuklardan oluştuğu düşünülürse bu süreçte çocukların çeşitli ihmal, yetersizlik ve istismara maruz kaldığı bir gerçektir (Yılmaz, 2015). Savaş sonucu mülteci yaşam koşullarının çocuklar üzerindeki etkisini gösteren Türkiye' de yürütülmüş mevcut çalışmalara göre, ülkelerinden ayrılıp Türkiye'ye gelmiş mülteci çocukların çeşitli fizyolojik hastalıklar (Yurtseven, Özcan ve Saz, 2015;Oğuz, Tuygun, Polat, Akça ve Karacan, 2016) dışında, uyku (AFAD, 2013) ve stres bozuklukları, davranışsal, duygusal ve sosyal sorunlar, dikkat eksikliği ve hiperaktivite gibi bir takım psikolojik sorunlar yaşadığı söylenebilir. Ayrıca bu çocuklarda, kopukluk, yabancılaşma, bir geleceğinin kalmadığı gibi kaygılarda görülmektedir (Binay, 2016, Tabur, 2017.…”

2011 tarihinden itibaren Suriye' de yaşanan siyasi ve toplumsal gelişmeler sonucunda, Suriye' den ülkemize çok sayıda mültecinin göç ettiği görülmüştür. Türkiye' de kayıtlı 3.586.679 Suriyeli mültecinin bulunduğu ve mültecilerin 1.646.285'inin 18 yaşının altında çocuk olduğu bildirilmektedir. Çocukların bu göç sürecinde yaşadıkları ve karşılaştıkları olayların göç ile ilgili algı, düşünce ve tutumlarının gelişmesinde önemli bir faktör olduğu söylenebilir. Yapılan bu araştırmada geçici eğitim merkezlerinde eğitim gören Suriyeli mülteci çocukların ve T.C. vatandaşı olan çocukların göç kavramına karşı bakış açılarını anlamak ve bu kavram ile ilgili oluşturdukları metaforları karşılaştırmalı olarak incelemek amaçlanmaktadır. Araştırma nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden olgu bilim deseni ile yürütülmüştür. Araştırma Mersin ilinde Geçici Eğitim Merkezinde eğitim görmekte olan Suriyeli çocuklar ile ilkokulda eğitim görmekte olan T.C. vatandaşı çocuklar olmak üzere toplam 41 çocuk ile geçekleştirilmiştir. Katılımcı çocuklar amaçlı örnekleme yöntemi olan tipik durum örnekleme yöntemi ile belirlenmiştir. Araştırmada veriler yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme ile toplanmıştır. Toplanan verilerin analizinde içerik analizi kullanılmıştır. Verilerden elde edilen bulgulara göre araştırmaya katılan T.C. vatandaşı çocukların göç kavramına ilişkin dokuz metafor geliştirdikleri belirlenmiştir. Bu metaforlar ulaşmak, göçmen, yolculuk, taşıma ve mazi olmak üzere beş kategoriye ayrılmıştır. Araştırmaya katılan Suriyeli çocukların göç kavramına ilişkin yedi metafor geliştirdikleri belirlenmiştir. Bu metaforlar da ulaşmak ve diyar olmak üzere iki farklı kategoride incelenmiştir.
