Program, which was prepared according to the Transition Theory of Meleis, on the
health perceptions, health responsibilities, perceived stress levels, methods of coping
with stress and levels of health services use of immigrant men.
Material and Method: This study, which was planned in accordance with the
principles of a randomized controlled double-blind pre-test post-test control group
experimental study, was conducted with immigrant males between the ages of 18 and
50, living in Canik and İlkadım districts of Samsun, where immigrants live heavily.
The study was completed with 49 men in the experimental group and 46 men in the
control group. Results: In the study; The average age of immigrant men in the
experimental group is 31.15 ± 7.50, and the average of control group is 34.04±9.33.

behaviors scale, health responsibility sub-dimension, the perceived stress scale, the
total score and sub-dimensions of the immigrants' attitudes towards using health
services, and the stress coping methods scale were in the mean scores of the men in
the experimental group. There was a significant difference compared to preeducation (p <0.05). Conclusions: In line with the results obtained in the study, it
