Summary/Abstract: Introduction: The Syrian Civil War had led 13.1 million Syrians to need human assistance. A civil war is an active stressor to the soldiers and the citizens of the country that can lead to mental implications. The implications can include depression and anxiety from losing loved ones and constantly being surrounded by a warzone. In 2015, the foreign population takes up 1.56% (about 84,000 people) of the total population in Slovakia which has led to a response of funding and solutions like Emergency Transit Centre’s (ETC). The author provides the psychological implications of the Syrian refugees and the role healthcare managers and professionals play in resolving this issue. Methods and Materials: This presentation is a secondary source research study accompanied by published studies and assessments surrounding the issue of psychological implications on Syrian refugees.
