Özet:

 Objective: The aim of this qualitative study was to understand Syrian migrant womens perception of obstetric violence in depth and to raise social awareness on this issue. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted between April and May 2024 with face-to-face in-depth interviews using a phenomenological design. The sample of the study consisted of 12 Syrian women who applied to a non-governmental organisation in Diyarbakır. The interviews were recorded on a voice recorder and analysed using a deductive content analysis technique. Findings: It was determined that women had both positive and negative experiences during labour. Among the health professionals, doctors generally displayed positive attitudes, while nurses displayed mixed attitudes. Women encountered difficulties such as difficulty in communicating, fear and lack of social support. Conclusion: Syrian migrant womens perception of obstetric violence is an important issue that needs to be addressed in the context of social and health policies. Improvements in cultural sensitivity, communication support and psychological support by healthcare personnel may play a critical role in improving the birth experiences of migrant women.

 Amaç: Bu nitel çalışmanın amacı, Suriyeli göçmen kadınların obstetrik şiddet algısını derinlemesine anlamak ve bu konuda toplumsal farkındalık yaratmaktır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışma, fenomenoloji olgu bilim deseni kullanılarak, Nisan ve Mayıs 2024 tarihleri arasında, yüz yüze derinlemesine görüşme yöntemiyle gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışmanın örneklemi, Diyarbakırdaki bir sivil toplum örgütüne başvuran 12 Suriyeli kadından oluşmaktadır. Görüşmeler ses kayıt cihazına kaydedilmiş ve tüme varımsal içerik analizi tekniği ile analiz edilmiştir. Bulgular: Kadınların doğum sırasında hem olumlu hem de olumsuz deneyimler yaşadıkları belirlenmiştir. Sağlık çalışanlarından doktorlar genellikle olumlu ancak hemşireler ise karışık tutumlar sergilemişlerdir. Kadınlar, iletişim kurmada güçlük, korku ve sosyal destek yetersizliği gibi zorluklarla karşılaşmışlardır. Sonuç: Suriyeli göçmen kadınların obstetrik şiddet algısı, toplumsal ve sağlık politikaları bağlamında ele alınması gereken önemli bir konudur. Sağlık personelinin kültürel duyarlılık, iletişim desteği ve psikolojik destek konularında iyileştirmeler yapması, göçmen kadınların doğum deneyimlerinin iyileştirilmesinde kritik rol oynayabilir.
