Method: The sample of this observational study consisted of 254 healthy Syrin refugees between the age of 18-65, living in Yıldırım region of Bursa province of Turkey, who applied to the Yıldırım Migrant Health Center, and volunteered to participate in the study. The questionnaires were applied to the participants with face-to-face interview by the resercher who speaks Arabic, with the support of an interpreter when needed. The Immigrant Health Assessment Questionnaire, the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), and the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) were applied. Results: The depression and anxiety levels of the participants were high. The depression and anxiety levels of female participants were significantly higher than males. There was statistically significant and weak positive correlation between anxiety and depression levels and both the number of pregnancy and the number of miscarriages. The depression levels of the participants with substance dependence were significantly higher than that of participants with no history of substance dependence.
