Turkey receives the largest number of Syrian refugees in the world. Some of these refugee women become mothers in Turkey. This paper reports on a qualitative, descriptive study that investigated the experience of seven Syrian women migrants who gave birth in Turkey, and explores their experiences of transition to motherhood in a foreign country. The research identified that aspects of transition can be clustered under five main themes: difficulties during the pregnancy period, giving birth in a foreign country, problems of refugee mothers, milestones in life of refugee mothers, and influence of cultural beliefs of refugee mothers on baby care. Key findings revealed that the women in the study had negative experiences related to being pregnant and having a baby in a foreign country. In addition to identifying challenges associated with migration, such as language barriers, racism, discrimination, poverty, and separation from their culture and family, the study highlighted the fears and difficulties experienced by refugee mothers, the cultural beliefs of refugee women about caring for their babies, and turning points in the life of refugee mothers.
土耳其接收的叙利亚难民数量居世界首位。这些难民女性中有一些在土耳其成为了母亲。本文报告了一项定性描述性研究，该研究调查了七名在土耳其分娩的叙利亚移民女性的经历，并探讨了她们在异国他乡过渡到母亲角色的经历。研究发现，过渡的各个方面可以归纳为五个主要主题：孕期困难、在异国他乡分娩、难民母亲的问题、难民母亲生活中的里程碑以及难民母亲的文化信仰对婴儿护理的影响。主要研究结果表明，参与研究的女性在异国怀孕和分娩方面有负面经历。该研究除了确定与移民相关的挑战，如语言障碍、种族主义、歧视、贫困以及与自己的文化和家庭分离外，还突出了难民母亲所经历的恐惧和困难、难民女性对照顾婴儿的文化信仰以及难民母亲生活中的转折点。
