Reporting from Turkey's frontier with the civil war in Syria, we examined the demographic characteristics, psychiatric diagnoses and treatments for the Syrian refugee patients who have presented to Gaziantep University, Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Clinic through 2016 and the first half of 2017 retrospectively, having aimed to understand the special characteristics and needs of this novel patient group. Within a year and a half, we evaluated 51 children and adolescents and 25 (51%) had come from refugee camps, where primary healthcare services are available. Twenty-eight patients (54.9%) had special educational needs. Among our patients, there were only 15 (29.4%) girls. After our experience with refugee patients, we conclude that the role of primary healthcare services in reaching psychiatric treatment should be investigated for child refugees that special educational needs of Syrian refugees in Turkey needs urgent attention and that more research is needed to establish whether gender may be a factor in negligence of internalising symptoms by refugee families.
从土耳其与叙利亚内战的边境发回的报道,我们回顾性地研究了通过 2016 年和 2017 年上半年向加济安泰普大学儿童和青少年精神病学诊所就诊的叙利亚难民患者的人口统计学特征、精神科诊断和治疗,旨在了解这个新患者群体的特殊特征和需求。在一年半的时间里,我们评估了 51 名儿童和青少年,其中 25 名(51%)来自有基本医疗服务的难民营。28 名患者(54.9%)有特殊教育需求。在我们的患者中,只有 15 名(29.4%)是女孩。在接触难民患者之后,我们的结论是,需要调查初级保健服务在为儿童难民提供精神治疗方面的作用,土耳其的叙利亚难民的特殊教育需求需要紧急关注,并且需要更多的研究来确定性别是否可能是难民家庭忽视内化症状的一个因素。
