Evaluation of the Depression Status of Syrian Refugee Amputees Living in Turkey

Öz:
Objective: To investigate the depression status of Syrianrefugee amputees living in Turkey using the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II). Material and Methods: The study was conducted in93 (82 male, 11 female) Syrian refugee amputees with an average ageof 35.22±13.56 years. Socio-demographic and descriptive data of theparticipants such as cause/level of amputation, duration of prosthesisuses, marital status, education level, job status, and phantom pain werealso collected. Participants were asked to complete the self-report BDIII.Kruskal Wallis Test was used for multiple comparisons, Independentt test and Mann-Whitney U Test was used for binary comparisons.Results: It was observed that 67.7% of the patients had a Beck DepressionInventory Score (BDIS) indicating minimal depression, 25.8%had mild-moderate depression, and 6.5% had severe depression. Themean BDIS of the female amputees was found to be statistically higherthan that of the male amputees (p:0.039). When the etiology of amputationwas compared, it was observed that the diabetes/chronic diseasegroup had a significantly higher average BDIS than that of the others(p:0.045). Conclusion: Patients, though as refugee, live in Turkey inrelatively better conditions and have been receiving adequate medicalsupport, both of which may be mitigating factors reducing the psychologicalpressure. Factors such as the large and inclusive Syrian familystructure and solidarity among refugees are also considered to be effectivein reducing their BDIS.

Türkiye’de Yaşayan Suriyeli Mülteci Amputelerin Depresyon Durumunun Değerlendirilmesi

Öz:
Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı Türkiye’de yaşayan Suriyeli mülteci amputelerin depresyon durumlarını Beck Depresyon Ölçeği-II (BDÖ-II) kullanarak araştırmaktı. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışma yaş ortalaması olan 35,22±13,56 yıl olan 93 (82 erkek, 11 kadın) Suriyeli mülteci ampute üzerinde gerçekleştirildi. Olguların sosyo-demografik özellikleri ve ampütasyon sebebi/seviyesi, protez kullanım süresi, medeni durum, eğitim seviyesi, iş durumu ve fantom ağrısı gibi tanımlayıcı bilgileri alındı. Olguların BDÖ-II’yi doldurmaları istendi. Çoklu karşılaştırmalar için Kruskal Wallis Test, ikili karşılaştırmalar için Bağımsız t test Mann-Whitney U Test kullanıldı. Bulgular: Hastaların %67,7’sinin minimal, %25,8’inin hafif-orta, %6,5’inin ise şiddetli seviyede depresyonu gösteren Beck Depresyon Puanına (BDP) sahip olduğu görüldü. Kadın amputelerin BDP ortalaması erkek amputelerden istatistiksel olarak anlamlı düzeyde yüksek bulundu (p:0,039). Amputasyon etyolojisi açısından karşılaştırıldığında, diyabet/kronik hastalık grubunun diğerlerinden anlamlı düzeyde yüksek ortalamaya sahip olduğu görüldü (p:0,045). Sonuç: Türkiye’de, mülteci olarak da olsa, göreceli olarak iyi şartlar altında yaşamaları ve yeterli tıbbi destek alabilmeleri, hastalar üzerindeki psikolojik baskıyı azaltıcı unsurlardır. Geniş ve kapsayıcı Suriye aile yapısı, mülteci dayanışması gibi unsurların olguların BDP’larını azaltmakta etkin olduğu düşünülmektedir.
