In this study, women's birth experiences of Syrian refugees in Turkey aimed to describe in-depth. It was designed as a descriptive phenomenological qualitative study. Fifteen refugee women included in the sample gave birth in Turkey, living in Turkey's southern city. In-depth interviews were conducted with women. Six themes were formed in the results: quantitatively enough but unsatisfactory service, not providing autonomy, think that she was neglected, no respect to privacy, feeling loneliness/fear in the delivery room, and prejudice. The factors that negatively affect the pregnancy and birth experiences of Syrian refugee women are language/communication barriers, the provision of care services that are incompatible with their religious and cultural values, and their prejudice regarding discrimination.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessBirth experiencedescriptive phenomenological qualitative studySyrian refugee womenTurkeyArticle61547047810.1080/03630242.2021.192257033957842WOS:000648054700001Q3
