The aim of this descriptive study was to determine the traditional health practices used by Syrian refugee women in Turkey.
A survey was carried out among Syrian refugee women in the Turkish province of Hatay, which has experienced heavy immigration. The study sample consisted of 75 married Syrian women over the age of 18. Questionnaires were completed during face-to-face interviews and took approximately 60 min.
All the women (100%) reported using a traditional health method in pregnancy; almost all had used a traditional health method during childbirth and the postpartum period (both 98.7%), and to treat a vaginal infection (92.0%) and induce an abortion (93.3%); most used a traditional method of contraception (85.3%).
Some of the reported known and used methods are harmless or beneficial to women's health. Some, however, can negatively affect women's health in terms of infection, bleeding and toxicity. In order to eliminate potentially harmful traditional health practices, it is recommended that Syrian refugee women receive health education.
本描述性研究旨在确定土耳其境内叙利亚难民妇女所采用的传统保健方法。
在土耳其经历大量移民的哈塔伊省对叙利亚难民妇女进行了一项调查。研究样本包括75名年龄在18岁以上的已婚叙利亚妇女。问卷调查在面对面访谈期间完成，耗时约60分钟。
所有妇女（100%）报告在孕期使用了传统保健方法；几乎所有妇女在分娩和产后期间都使用了传统保健方法（均为98.7%），治疗阴道感染时使用传统保健方法的占92.0%，引产时使用的占93.3%；大多数妇女使用传统避孕方法（85.3%）。
报告中提及的一些已知且使用的方法对妇女健康无害或有益。然而，有些方法在感染、出血和毒性方面可能会对妇女健康产生负面影响。为消除潜在有害的传统保健做法，建议对叙利亚难民妇女进行健康教育。
