Özet:

 Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between occupational balance and psychological attitudes in earthquake survivors living in a container city in Malatya, Turkey, following the February 6, 2023, earthquakes. Material and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted with 53 earthquake victims, with a mean age of 31.5410.20 min 18, max 53 living in Malatya Samanköy Container City. Occupational balance was assessed using the Turkish version of the Occupational Balance Questionnaire OBQ11-T, and psychological attitudes were evaluated with the Psychological Impact of Earthquake Exposure Scale PIEES. Spearman correlation analysis was used, with a Bonferroni-corrected significance level set at p0.007. Results: There was a strong and statistically significant negative correlation between OBQ11-T and PIEES total scores r-0.778, p0.007. Significant negative correlations were also found between OBQ11-T scores and all subdimensions of PIEES. These findings suggest that increased psychological impact is associated with decreased occupational balance. Conclusion: The results highlight a close relationship between occupational balance and post-disaster psychological well-being. Specifically, high levels of disconnection from life, avoidance, poor social health, trauma-related anxiety, spiritual change, and maladaptive growth were associated with reduced engagement in daily activities and lower occupational balance. These findings underscore the importance of occupation-centered interventions in post-disaster psychosocial rehabilitation.

 Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, 6 Şubat 2023 depremlerinden etkilenerek Malatya ilindeki bir konteyner kentte yaşamını sürdüren depremzede bireylerin okupasyonel dengeleri ile depreme yönelik psikolojik tutumları arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemektir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışma, kesitsel tasarımda yürütülmüş olup, Malatya Samanköy Konteyner Kentte yaşayan, yaş ortalaması 31,5410,20 min 18, maks 53 olan 53 depremzede birey ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Katılımcıların okupasyonel dengeleri Aktivite-Rol Dengesi Anketi 11 Türkçe Versiyonu ARDA11-T ile, psikolojik tutumları ise Depremin Psikolojik Maruziyet Etkisi Ölçeği DPME ile değerlendirilmiştir. Veriler, Spearman korelasyon testi ile analiz edilmiş ve anlamlılık düzeyi Bonferroni düzeltmesi sonrası p0,007 olarak kabul edilmiştir. Sonuçlar: Çalışma bulgularına göre, ARDA11-T ve DPME toplam puanları arasında negatif yönde, mükemmel düzeyde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki saptanmıştır r-0,778, p0,007. Ayrıca, DPMEnin tüm alt boyutları ile ARDA11-T puanları arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı negatif korelasyonlar belirlenmiştir. Bu sonuçlar, depremzedelerin psikolojik etkilenim düzeyleri arttıkça okupasyonel dengelerinin azaldığını göstermektedir. Tartışma: Elde edilen bulgular, afet sonrası psikolojik iyilik hali ile okupasyonel dengenin yakından ilişkili olduğunu göstermektedir. Özellikle yaşamdan kopuş, kaçınma, sosyal sağlık, travma kaygısı, olgunlaşma ve ruhsal değişim gibi boyutlardaki olumsuz etkilenim, bireylerin günlük yaşam aktivitelerine katılımını ve okupasyonel dengelerini azaltmaktadır. Bu durum, afet sonrası psikososyal müdahalelerde ergoterapi temelli yaklaşımların önemini vurgulamaktadır.
