Abstract
The aim of this study is to determine the levels of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, and depression in individuals who migrated to Türkiye from Ukraine due to the ongoing conflict in their home country. In the study, 194 individuals were reached by using the Socio-Demographic Information Form, the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7), the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), and the Impact of Event Scale-Revised (IES-R). It was determined that 38.1% of the participants were in the risk group for GAD, 21.6% were at risk for severe depression, and 7.2% were at risk for very severe depression. Being young and having a low level of education increases the risk of depression and PTSD. Overall, the participants were found to be at risk for PTSD.
