A Qualitative Study on the Knowledge and Opinions of Syrian Women regarding Family Planning

Whatever the reason, migration has negative effects on individuals in terms of their physical, social and psychological aspects. Syria has witnessed a significant level of migration since 2011. The study was conducted with refugee women who attended the Adana Gulpinar Family Health Center between the dates of May 15 and April 15, 2019-2020. The samples of the study were the women who applied to the Adana Gulpinar Family Health Center. 30 individuals, determined using the purposeful sampling method, were included in the study. Refugee women cannot make personal decisions regarding the family planning for reasons such as pressure from their spouses, cultural pressure, and the inferior status of women. For this reason, they lack the necessary information regarding the family planning, and they are unable to access the family planning solutions.
