On Monday, the Turkish state of Istanbul hosted the “For Her” forum, which seeks to empower Syrian survivors and improve their economic reality by providing programs, lectures, and family guarantees.
A large number of invitees participated in the program’s forum aimed at providing integrated care for survivors through projects that contribute to bringing them to psychological balance, integration and social and economic empowerment.
The program is under the auspices and implementation of the associations “Ataa for Humanitarian Relief”, “Al-Rahma International”, and “For All That Enriches Man”.
Dozens of Syrian women are benefiting from the program that is being implemented in the Turkish states of Istanbul, Şanlıurfa, Hatay, Gaziantep, Kayseri, Mersin, Osmaniye, Mersin and Bursa.
A scientific study was also issued within the framework of the program under the title “The Psychological Effects of Arrest on Syrian Women and the Impact of the Psychotherapy Program to Alleviate these Effects”.
The study focused on the psychological effects that Syrian women suffer after liberation from detention. Therefore, work has been done on the dimensions of mental health that affect it by designing a scientifically arbitrated scale and verifying the validity and reliability of the scale.
It was found that mental health has six dimensions, the height of which indicates the increase in harm in this dimension, which are the mental, physical, guilt, traumatic, and subjective dimensions. In contrast, the spiritual dimension and the quality of life, its height indicates an increase in mental health.
The study proved that the mental, spiritual and guilt dimensions affect the quality of life, while the traumatic, emotional and physical dimensions do not affect the quality of life directly.
The study also proved that social relationships directly affect recovery from the psychological effects of detention, and that there are five types of social relationships, which are the relationship of shame, pity, support, adaptation and harm, and that if the relationship is supportive upon leaving the prison, the chances of recovery are greater, and some may resort to Editors to adaptive relationships to mitigate the effects of arrest on them.
While relationships of pity, hurt and shame are relationships that leave traces that continue for years after liberation.
The impact of therapeutic intervention programs on improving the editor’s mental health has been studied, and the results are significantly positive, indicating that the therapeutic program helped raise the editor’s mental health despite the presence of challenges and difficulties.
The greatest improvement was in the subjective dimension, then the emotional dimension, then the physical dimension, and after feeling guilty. The rise in the spiritual dimension was relatively small for several reasons.
