Posttraumatic stress disorder, posttraumatic growth and psychological resilience in Syrian refugees: Hatay, Turkey
Öz: Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between posttraumatic stress disorder, posttrau-matic growth and resilience in Syrian refugees. Methods: The sample includes 310 Syrian refugees living in theReyhanlı district of Hatay. Demographic Information Form, Impact of Events Scale, Harvard Trauma QuestionnaireSection I, Post-Traumatic Growth Inventory and Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale were used as the data collectiontools. Results: The rate of the posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) was 80%. Low monthly income and wishingto return to their home country were found to be risk factors for PTSD. Refugees with PTSD had higher war-relatedtraumatic events. Posttraumatic growth is higher among refugees with PTSD, particularly in the areas of relating toothers and spiritual change. Resilience and posttraumatic growth was found to be positively correlated and regres-sion analysis showed that resilience promotes posttraumatic growth. Conclusion: After trauma, posttraumaticgrowth can be increased by strengthening the resilience of Syrian refugees. (Anatolian Journal of Psychiatry2019; 20(3):269-276)

Suriyeli sığınmacılarda travma sonrası stres bozukluğu, travma sonrası büyüme ve ruhsal dayanıklılık: Hatay, Türkiye
Öz: Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, Suriyeli sığınmacılarda travma sonrası stres bozukluğu, travma sonrası büyüme ve dayanıklılık arasındaki ilişkiyi araştırmaktır. Yöntem: Örneklem Hatay'ın Reyhanlı ilçesinde yaşayan 310 Suriyeli sığınmacıdan oluşmuştur. Veri toplama aracı olarak Demografik Bilgi Formu, Olayların Etkisi Ölçeği (OEÖ-R), Harvard Travma Envanteri Bölüm I, Travma Sonrası Büyüme Envanteri ve Connor-Davidson Psikolojik Sağlamlık Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Sonuçlar: Travma sonrası stres bozukluğu (TSSB) oranı %80’dir. Düşük aylık gelir ve ülkelerine dönme isteği, TSSB için risk etkeni olarak bulunmuştur. TSSB'li sığınmacılar savaşla ilgili daha fazla travmatik olay yaşamışlardır. Travma sonrası büyüme, TSSB'li sığınmacılar arasında, özellikle başkalarıyla ilişki kurma ve ruhsal değişim alanlarında daha fazladır. Dayanıklılık ve travma sonrası büyüme arasında pozitif korelas- yon bulunmuş ve regresyon analizinde dayanıklılığın travma sonrası büyümeyi desteklediği gösterilmiştir. Sonuç: Travma sonrası, Suriyeli sığınmacılarda dayanıklılık güçlendirilerek travma sonrası büyüme artırılabilir. (Anadolu Psikiyatri Derg 2019; 20(3):269-276)
