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.

“…In the literature, it has been shown that language barriers negatively affect the quality of 58 health and patient satisfaction, as well as causing unwillingness among the women to benefit from health services (14,23). The language problem is not limited only to the patient's side, but also poses a problem for patient-physician communication for doctors who do not know the language of the patients (24). To solve this problem, it is proposed that brochures should be prepared in the women's mother tongue, interpreting services that can be reached at any time should be provided, and cultural differences should be addressed (17).…”

Objective: Immigrants are exposed to many health risks during and after immigration. The impact of immigration on women is greater. The impairment of the women's mental health and barriers to accessing health services bring about many risks associated with pregnancy. In this study, it was aimed to reveal the state of using safe motherhood services among the women aged between 15-49 year old who immigrated from Syria. Methods: In this cross-sectional descriptive study, the data were obtained from Syrian women aged between 15-49 age living in Mardin city center and Kızıltepe in 2016 and agreeing to participate in the study. The sampling size was calculated 384, and the study was carried out among 363 women. Results: The average age of the participants is 28.06 ± 8.39 years and 38.0% is in the 25-34 age group. The rate of those who stated that they did not have any problems when applying to healthcare facilities is 42.3%. Out of 363, 180 (49.6%) women got pregnant after arriving in Turkey. While 162 (90.0%) pregnant women stated that they were examined by health personnel at least once during pregnancy, the rate of those who underwent adequate follow-up (≥4 follow-up) was 46.7%. Of the women, 47.2% who had pregnancy in Turkey were vaccinated against tetanus at least once. Conclusion: Although they found health services to be complicated, the level of benefiting from safe motherhood services was moderate. Despite these positive findings, it is suggested that health care facilities should be tailored for intercultural communication.
