Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to examine the effects of earthquake-related anxiety on depression, anxiety, stress, and physical activity levels in individuals affected by the February 6, 2023, Kahramanmaraş Earthquake. Methods: A total of 187 earthquake-affected individuals [131 (70.05%) female and 56 (29.95%) male] participated in the study. After collecting demographic information, the Earthquake Anxiety Scale was used to assess earthquake-related anxiety, the Beck Depression Inventory to assess depression, the Anxiety Sensitivity Index-3 to measure anxiety, the Perceived Stress Scale to evaluate stress levels, and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form to determine physical activity levels. Results: The participants included 187 individuals (131 women and 56 men) aged between 18 and 67 years (mean age: 27.8±10.8 years). Univariate logistic regression analyses revealed that house type (ß=0.284, p=0.048), anxiety sensitivity (ß=0.368, p = 0.017), sitting time (ß = 0.332, p = 0.002), and perceived stress (ß = 0.235, p = 0.018) had statistically significant effects on earthquake-related anxiety. Conclusion: This study found that anxiety sensitivity, perceived stress, duration of residence, and type of housing were the primary factors influencing earthquake-related anxiety.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, 6 Şubat 2023 Kahramanmaraş depremi sonrası depremden etkilenen bireylerde deprem kaygısının depresyon, anksiyete, stres ve fiziksel aktivite düzeyleri üzerine etkilerini incelemektir. Yöntem: Depremden etkilenen 187 birey [131 (%70,05) kadın, 56 (%29,95) erkek] çalışmaya dahil edildi. Demografik bilgilerin ardından, deprem kaygısının değerlendirilmesinde “Deprem Kaygı Ölçeği”, depresyon değerlendirmesinde “Beck Depresyon Ölçeği”, anksiyete değerlendirmesinde “Ankiyete Duyarlılık İndeksi-3”, stres değerlendirmesinde “Algılanan Stres Ölçeği” kullanıldı. Depremden etkilenen bireylerin fiziksel aktivite düzeyleri ise ‘’Uluslararası Fiziksel Aktivite Anketi-Kısa Formu’’ ile değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Çalışmaya 18-67 yaş aralığında (27,8±10,8 yıl) 131 kadın, 56 erkek olmak üzere toplam 187 birey katıldı. Tek değişkenli lojistik regresyon analizleri sonucunda ev tipinin (ß=0,284, p=0,048), anksiyete duyarlılığının (ß =0,368, p=0,017), oturma sürelerinin (ß=0,332, p=0,002) ve algılanan stres düzeyinin (ß=0,235, p=0,018) deprem kaygısı ile ilişkili ve anlamlı etkiye sahip olduğu bulundu. Sonuç: Çalışmamız sonucunda anksiyete duyarlılığının, algılanan stresin, oturma sürelerinin ve yaşanılan ev tipinin deprem kaygısına etki eden esas faktörler olduğu belirlendi.
