Method: The sample of the study consisted of 163 refugee children. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews with primary caregivers of children using the Hacettepe Mental Adjustment Scale. The collected data were analyzed in the SPSS 22.0 database using percentages, Mann Whitney U, Kruskal-Wallis H, and chi-square tests.
Results: Adjustment problems were detected in 25.8% of the children participating and behavioral problems were detected in over half (52.4%).
