在土耳其登记的270万叙利亚难民中，有一半以上年龄在18岁以下。本研究调查了土耳其难民儿童的精神病理学患病率和相关危险因素。在总共218名9-15岁的儿童中，56.2%失去了对他们重要的人，55.1%看到了死亡或受伤的人，70.4%目睹了爆炸或枪战，42.5%目睹了人们遭受酷刑，25.6%亲身经历了战争期间的残酷/酷刑。PTSD患病率为18.3%，焦虑相关障碍患病率高达69.0%。重要人物的死亡（p = 0.032）和男性（p = 0.040）与创伤后应激障碍有关;而暴露于残酷或酷刑（p = 0.014）和避难持续时间的增加（p = 0.042）与焦虑症的发展显著相关。本研究的结果揭示了存在的预期，但不言而喻的心理健康需求之间的叙利亚儿童在土耳其。
More than half of the 2.7 million registered Syrian refugees in Turkey are under 18 years of age. This study investigates prevalence of psychopathology and associated risk factors in refugee children in Turkey. Of a total of 218 children aged 9-15 years, 56.2% lost someone important to them, 55.1% saw dead or wounded people, 70.4% witnessed explosions or gun battles, 42.5% witnessed people being tortured and 25.6% personally experienced cruelty/torture during war. Prevalence of PTSD was 18.3% and that of anxiety-related disorders were as high as 69.0%. Death of an important person (p = .032) and male gender (p = .040) were associated with PTSD; whilst exposure to cruelty or torture (p = .014) and increasing duration of refuge (p = .042) were significantly associated with development of anxiety disorders. Findings of the present study reveals existence of the expected but unspoken mental health needs among the Syrian children in Turkey.
