Turkey hosts the largest number of refugees in the world. So far, many studies investigated the mental health problems among Syrian refugees in Turkey and other hosting countries. However, little attention has been paid to the acculturation process of Syrian refugees in Turkey. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 409 Syrian refugees in Mardin, Turkey. Results showed that traumatic experiences depleted problem-focused, emotion-focused, and maladaptive coping strategies. Emotion-focused coping strategies mediated the relationship between traumatic experiences and maintenance of the heritage culture and adoption of the destination culture. To conclude, our findings underscore the importance of traumatic experiences and emotion-focused coping strategies for integration of Syrian refugees in Turkey. Psychosocial interventions enhancing emotion-focused coping capacities might mitigate the adverse impact of traumatic experiences on integration. We discussed the strengths and limitations of the study considering the current literature.

土耳其收容了世界上最多的难民。到目前为止，许多研究调查了土耳其和其他收容国的叙利亚难民的心理健康问题。但是，很少注意土耳其境内叙利亚难民的适应过程。在土耳其马尔丁对409名叙利亚难民进行了横断面研究。结果表明，创伤性经历耗尽了以问题为中心，以情感为中心和适应不良的应对策略。以情感为导向的应对策略介导了创伤经历与遗产文化的维护与目的地文化的采用之间的关系。总而言之，我们的研究结果强调了创伤经历和以情感为中心的应对策略对于土耳其叙利亚难民融入社会的重要性。加强以情绪为导向的应对能力的社会心理干预措施可能会减轻创伤经历对融合的不利影响。考虑到当前文献，我们讨论了这项研究的优势和局限性。
