This study aims to examine the relationship between depression and religious coping among East Turkestan
migrant women living in Türkiye. 320 Uyghur women aged between 20 and 45 participated in this
correlational study. Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and the Religious Coping Scale are utilized as data
collection instruments. Participants exhibit mild to moderate symptoms of depression and a high frequency of
positive religious coping activities. A significant discrepancy in depression levels is observed across age groups. In
contrast, statistically significant variations are identified in positive religious coping scores, contingent on marital
status and the number of children in the household. However, there are no statistically significant differences in
religious coping scores across a number of demographic variables such as age, educational attainment, income
level, presence of chronic illness, and length of residence in Türkiye. The results of the study indicated a negative
and statistically significant relationship between depression scores and positive religious coping. In contrast, there
is a positive and statistically significant correlation between depression and negative religious coping. The results
of this study suggest that female migrants from East Turkestan exhibit a considerable degree of psychological
resilience, as demonstrated by their employment of religious coping strategies in the face of challenging living
conditions.
