Özet:

 Earthquakes are natural disasters that cause loss of life, property, and can lead to mental health issues such as PTSD. The Kahramanmaraş Earthquakes, which caused widespread destruction across Turkey on February 6, 2023, significantly impacted the psychosocial well-being of university students. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder, coping strategies with earthquake stress, and striving for goals and the factors affecting them in university students after the 6 February earthquakes in Turkey. The mean scale scores of the participants were ESCS 46.08.7 high, SGS 40.86.1 moderate, and PSS-SR 32.912.0 moderate. According to the sociodemographic characteristics of the participants and their experiences in the earthquake, the mean scores of ESCS and PSS-SR and the median score value of SGS showed a significant difference p.01. A negative correlation was found between PSS-SR and ESCS and SGS p.01. In addition, the goals give up sub-dimension of SGS is the factor that most positively predicts PTSD. In this context there is a need to develop coping strategies for earthquake stress and the capacity to struggle for goals in university students. For this reason, universities and mental health professionals should develop programs and practices to help students achieve goals in their lives and develop strategies to cope with earthquake stress.

 Depremler, can ve mal kaybına neden olan ve TSSB gibi ruh sağlığı sorunlarına yol açabilen doğal afetlerdir. 6 Şubat 2023te Türkiye genelinde yaygın yıkıma neden olan Kahramanmaraş Depremleri, üniversite öğrencilerinin psikososyal refahını önemli ölçüde etkiledi. Bu çalışmanın amacı Türkiye de meydana gelen 6 Şubat depremleri sonrasında üniversite öğrencilerinde travma sonrası stres bozukluğu belirtileri, deprem stresi ile baş etme stratejileri ve amaçlar için mücadele durumları arasındaki ilişkiyi ve bunlara etkide bulunan faktörleri araştırmaktı. Katılımcıların ölçek puan ortalamaları DSBSÖ 46.08.7 yüksek, AMÖ 40.86.1 ve TSSBBÖ-KD 32.912.0 için orta düzeyde saptanmıştır. Katılımcıların sosyodemografik özelliklerine ve depremde yaşadıkları deneyimlere göre DSBÖ ve TSSBBÖ-KD puan ortalaması, AMÖ ortanca puan değerinin anlamlı farklılık gösterdiği p.01, TSSBBÖ-KD ile DSBSÖ ve AMÖ arasında negatif yönlü ilişki saptanmıştır p.01. Ayrıca AMÖnin mücadeleyi bırakma alt boyutu TSSBByi en fazla pozitif yordayan faktördür. Bu bağlamda üniversite öğrencilerinde deprem stresi ile baş etme stratejilerinin ve amaçlar için mücadele kapasitesinin geliştirilmesine gereksinim duyulmaktadır. Bunun için üniversiteler ve ruh sağlığı profesyonelleri öğrencilerin yaşamlarında amaçlar edinmeleri ve deprem stresi baş etme stratejileri geliştirmeleri için programlar ve uygulamalar geliştirmelidirler.
