Özet

Purpose This study aims to determine the psychosocial conditions of refugee children living in society. Designs and Methods This descriptive cross-sectional research which used the Socio-demographic Information Form for Children, Child Posttraumatic Stress Reaction Index (CPTS-RI), and Children's Depression Inventory (CDI) included 738 children. Results Social factors like the educational levels and professions of their parents, as well as economic status could affect the children's level of posttraumatic stress disorder, depression, and anxiety. The regression analysis revealed that depression and anxiety explained 72% of posttraumatic stress disorder in the children studied. Practice Implications Nurses should be aware that the effects of trauma on children who were exposed to war and migration can continue even after much time has passed since the war started.
