Özet:

 This study aimed to examine the metaphor perceptions of women who experienced an earthquake that occurred in Turkey on 6 February 2023. The sample consisted of 111 women who were affected by the earthquake. This research was conducted using a phenomenological design, one of the qualitative research methods, and the data were collected through the participants responses to the statement Earthquake is like... Because.... Descriptive analysis and content analysis were employed to analyse the data. The results revealed that the participants generated 129 different metaphors related to the concept of earthquake. These metaphors were classified into three categories based on their common features and reasons for use: earthquake, being a woman in an earthquake, and difficulties experienced in an earthquake. The most frequently used metaphors among the participants included apocalypse f 25, helplessness f 22, the end f 9, monster f 9 fear f 8 and people left on the street f 7.

 Bu araştırma, 6 Şubat 2023te Türkiyede meydana gelen depremi deneyimlemiş kadınların depreme ilişkin metaforik algılarını incelemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu, depremden etkilenen 111 kadın oluşturmuştur. Araştırma, nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden biri olan fenomenolojik desen kullanılarak yürütülmüş olup, veriler katılımcıların Deprem şuna benzer... Çünkü... ifadesine verdikleri yanıtlar aracılığıyla toplanmıştır. Verilerin analizinde betimsel analiz ve içerik analizi birlikte kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda, katılımcıların deprem kavramına ilişkin 129 farklı metafor ürettikleri saptanmıştır. Bu metaforlar, ortak özellikleri ve kullanım gerekçelerine göre Deprem, Depremde Kadın Olma ve Depremde Yaşanan Zorluklar olmak üzere üç kategoride sınıflandırılmıştır. Katılımcılar arasında en sık kullanılan metaforların kıyamet f25, çaresizlik f22, son f9, canavar f9, korku f8 ve sokakta kalan insan f7 olduğu belirlenmiştir. Elde edilen bulgular, kadınlara deprem sonrası baş etme becerilerinin kazandırılmasının, duygularını ifade edebilecekleri alanlar sağlanmasının ve duygusal destek sunulmasının önemini ortaya koymaktadır.
