Geçici Koruma Statüsü Altında Bulunan Suriyelilerde Psikolojik Dayanaklılık ile Sosyodemografik Değişkenler Arasındaki İlişki: Mardin Örneği

Avrasya Uluslararası Araştırmalar Dergisi, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 11(35), С. 1021 - 1035

Опубликована: Май 28, 2023

Göç literatürü, savaş gibi nedenlerle göç etmek zorunda kalan insanların sıklıkla anksiyete ve depresyon psikolojik sosyal sorunlar yaşadığını göstermektedir. Son dönemde çalışmalarında, zorunlu göçmenleri yalnızca sorunlu ya da patolojik bireyler olarak görmek yerine güçlü yönlerini vurgulamanın önemli olduğunu savunan onların sorunlarına odaklanan yaklaşımlara karşı eleştiriler ortaya çıkmıştır. Dayanıklılık (resilience), mültecilerin hem sağlığı de sosyo-kültürel uyumu açısından bir rol oynamaktadır. Ancak literatürde bu konuda zengin veritabanı olmadığı gözlemlenmektedir. Bu eleştirilere dayanarak dayanıklılığını ekolojik yaklaşımla ele alan çalışmada, dayanıklılığın boyutuna Resilience Research Centre (RRC-ARM) tarafından hazırlanan Yetişkin Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Türkiye'nin Mardin il sınırları içinde yaşayan 323 Suriyeli geçici koruma statüsü sahibi yetişkinlerle yüz yüze anket yapılmıştır. Görüşmeler sırasında tercüman hazır bulunmuştur. Anket aracılığıyla katılımcıların sosyodemografik bilgileri dayanıklılık düzeyleri belirlenmiş değişkenler arasındaki ilişki t-testi ANOVA kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Araştırmanın sonuçlarına göre, eğitim düzeyi işsizlik durumunun üzerinde etkisinin olduğu belirlenmiştir. Potansiyel, acil gelecekteki sorunları aşmak için kaynak olan meslek (iş) fırsatlarıyla ilişkilendirilebileceği değerlendirilmiştir.
