Abstract

Family is a social model consisting of mother, father and children. A stress factor occurring within the family affects all family members. Destructive effects such as loss of life, injuries, damage to homes and workplaces, and disruption of human relations after disasters are seen as stress factors. These stress factors experienced as a result of disasters also negatively affect family life. Family members will react differently to the stress factor depending on various factors such as age, gender, financial situation, and capacity to cope with the disaster. Understanding how stress factors emerge within the family system and how family members respond to these factors is crucial for the early identification of stress and the mitigation of its adverse effects. Strengthening the family structure will strengthen the society. Understanding the reactions of family members after the disaster according to their characteristics and helping them gain awareness of how to best cope with the stress they have experienced will make it easier to manage stress. This study aimed to evaluate stress management in families after a disaster.

Özet

Aile anne, baba ve çocuklardan oluşan sosyal bir modeldir. Aile içerisinde meydana gelen bir stres faktörü, tüm aile bireylerini etkilemektedir. Afet sonrası yaşanan can kayıpları, yaralanmalar, ev ve iş yerlerinin zarar görmesi, insan ilişkilerinin bozulması gibi yıkıcı etkiler, stres faktörü olarak görülmektedir. Afetler sonucu yaşanan bu stres faktörleri, aile yaşamını da olumsuz olarak etkilemektedir. Aile üyeleri yaş, cinsiyet, finansal durum, afetle başa çıkabilme kapasitesi gibi çeşitli faktörlere bağlı olarak yaşanan stres faktörüne karşı farklı tepkiler gösterecektir. Stres faktörlerinin aile içerisinde nasıl oluştuğu, ailelerin bu strese karşı nasıl tepkiler verdikleri; yaşanan stresin erken dönemde fark edilebilmesi ve etkilerinin en aza indirilebilmesi açısından önemlidir. Aile yapısını güçlendirmek, toplumun güçlenmesini sağlayacaktır. Afet sonrası aile bireylerinin özelliklerine göre tepkilerini anlayabilmek, yaşamış olduğu stresle en iyi şekilde nasıl başa çıkabileceğine ilişkin farkındalık kazanmalarına yardımcı olmak, stresin yönetiminde kolaylık sağlayacaktır. Bu çalışmada afet sonrası ailede stres yönetiminin değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır.
