Women's fertility characteristics are affected by many different factors.
To gain an awareness of fertility characteristics of Syrian refugee women and the influential factors.
This study was planned as a cross-sectional study to determine the efficiency and related factors of Syrian refugees living in Istanbul. The survey of 300 refugee women applying Arabs who migrated to Turkey, Kurds, Turkmen and Yezidi origin they receive.
Average age of the women studied was 34.26 ± 10.15, 34.6% of the participants had not received any education, 37% had less than two-year inter-pregnancy interval, 58.6% have not received "Safe Motherhood" service, 43.6% have conceived their last child unwillingly. Women in the study group had in average 3±2,4 children and the number of children they wanted was 3±1,59. These values were substantially affected negatively by the women's education level and positively by the income level. Yezidis had significantly more children than other ethnic groups and did not have a "religious ban" on voluntary abortion.
It has been noted that fertility characteristics of refugee women who migrated to Turkey changed according to their ethnic backgrounds and were sustained in the country they migrated to. Along with harsh living conditions and insufficient access to health services the situation has been observed to pose serious risks on reproductive health.
女性的生育特征受多种不同因素影响。
了解叙利亚难民妇女的生育特征及影响因素。
本研究计划为横断面研究，以确定居住在伊斯坦布尔的叙利亚难民的生育情况及相关因素。对300名申请的难民妇女进行调查，她们来自阿拉伯、库尔德、土库曼和雅兹迪等不同族裔，这些族裔均为移民至土耳其的群体。
所研究女性的平均年龄为34.26±10.15岁，34.6%的参与者未接受过任何教育，37%的人孕间期少于两年，58.6%的人未接受过“安全孕产”服务，43.6%的人最后一个孩子是意外怀上的。研究组女性平均育有3±2.4个孩子，她们期望生育的孩子数量为3±1.59个。这些数值受女性教育水平的负面影响很大，受收入水平的正面影响较大。雅兹迪族妇女比其他族裔生育的孩子明显更多，且在自愿堕胎方面没有“宗教禁令”。
已注意到，移民到土耳其的难民妇女的生育特征根据其族裔背景而有所变化，并且在她们移民到的国家持续存在。伴随着恶劣的生活条件和获得医疗服务的机会不足，这种情况被观察到对生殖健康构成严重风险。
