Abstract

This study aimed to explore the level of psychological health domains among abused Syrian refugees. To achieve the study's objectives, a descriptive survey method was used, and the mental health scale was administered. The study sample consisted of 300 abused female Syrian refugees. The validity and reliability of the scale were verified. The findings revealed that the levels of depression and anxiety domains on the mental health scale were high among the abused female Syrian refugees, while the means of the positive influence and behavior control domains were at an average level. Additionally, there were no statistically significant differences between the means of the mental health domains among the abused female Syrian refugees attributed to the relative's marriage variable. Similarly, there were no significant statistical differences in the means of the behavior control domain attributed to the nature of the residence, or in the anxiety, depression, and behavior control domains attributed to the type of violence variable. However, there were significant statistical differences in the positive effect domain attributed to the type of violence, favoring physical and psychological violence over economic violence. Moreover, there were significant statistical differences in anxiety, depression, and positive effect domains attributed to the nature of residence, favoring independent residence for anxiety and depression domains, and residence with family for the positive effect. Based on the findings, the study presented several recommendations, including providing care for abused Syrian female refugees through counseling programs supervised by international and public organizations to reduce depression and anxiety and enhance their positive influence and behavior control.
