Abstract

Background: The psychological conditions of children exposed to earthquakes, such as somatization, obsessive-compulsive, hostility, and paranoid thought, have not been adequately studied.

Aim: This study was conducted to examine the relationship between the mental states and sleep patterns of children who experienced the Kahramanmaraş earthquake.

Methods: This is a descriptive, cross-sectional, and relational study that included 867 children from 11 provinces of Turkey affected by the earthquake that occurred in Kahramanmaraş on February 6th. The Child Follow-up Form, Mental Symptom Screening Scale, and Child Sleep Habits Scale were used to collect data.

Results: The psychological symptoms (anxiety, depression, somatization, anger-hostility, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, interpersonal sensitivity, phobic anxiety, paranoid ideation, psychotic symptoms, and other issues) experienced by children after the earthquake explained 96.9% of their sleep disturbance. Some of the demographic characteristics, such as age, the status of experiencing loss in the earthquake, the survival status of their mother and father, the survival status of their siblings, the total number of losses after the earthquake, the total number of losses in the nuclear family, total hours spent under the rubble, the hours children waited for their father, mother, and siblings to come out of the rubble, accounted for 77.9% of the mental symptoms (SCL-90).

Conclusions: These results showed the importance of early recognition and treatment of sleep disturbances to prevent possible psychiatric disorders after children have been exposed to natural disasters. It is of great importance to evaluate the mental states of children after the earthquake and to apply appropriate psychiatric interventions.

卡赫拉马马拉伊地震儿童心理健康状况与睡眠模式关系的调查:来自震区的数据。
背景:地震环境下儿童的躯体化、强迫性、敌意、偏执等心理状况尚未得到充分研究。目的:本研究旨在探讨kahramanmaraki地震后儿童的心理状态与睡眠模式之间的关系。方法:这是一项描述性、横断面和相关性研究,包括来自土耳其11个省的867名受2月6日发生在kahramanmaraku地震影响的儿童。采用儿童随访表、心理症状筛查量表和儿童睡眠习惯量表收集数据。结果:地震后儿童出现的心理症状(焦虑、抑郁、躯体化、愤怒-敌意、强迫症状、人际敏感、恐惧焦虑、偏执意念、精神病症状等问题)解释了96.9%的睡眠障碍。一些人口统计学特征,如年龄、在地震中遭受损失的状况、父母的生存状况、兄弟姐妹的生存状况、地震后的总损失人数、核心家庭的总损失人数、在废墟下度过的总时间、儿童等待父亲、母亲和兄弟姐妹从废墟中出来的时间,占精神症状(SCL-90)的77.9%。结论:这些结果表明,早期识别和治疗睡眠障碍对预防自然灾害后儿童可能出现的精神障碍具有重要意义。对地震后儿童的心理状态进行评估,采取适当的心理干预措施具有重要意义。
