Abstract

This study aims to examine the meaning of life, and the mediating effect of strategies for coping with earthquake stress in the relationship between depression, and life satisfaction in survivors of the 2023 Kahramanmaraş centered earthquakes. The participants of this study were 472 adults (31.1% male, 68.9% female; M_age = 24.52) who were affected by earthquakes. The data of the study were tested with the bootstrapping-based PROCESS macro program (Model-81). The results showed that depression negatively predicted life satisfaction. Meaning of life mediated the relationship between depression and life satisfaction. However, problem solving and cognitive avoidance coping strategies reduced the effects of depression and the meaning of life on life satisfaction. These results can be a resource for mental health services for earthquake victims. At the same time, the study provides evidence that protecting personal resources in disaster situations positively affects life satisfaction in terms of conservation of resources theory (COR).

卡赫拉曼马拉什地震后的抑郁和生活满意度：生命意义和应对地震压力的序列中介作用。

本研究旨在探讨 2023 年卡赫拉曼马拉什中心地震幸存者的生命意义以及地震压力应对策略对抑郁和生活满意度之间关系的中介作用。本研究的参与者为 472 名受地震影响的成年人（男性占 31.1%，女性占 68.9%；年龄 = 24.52）。研究数据通过基于引导的 PROCESS 宏程序（Model-81）进行了测试。结果显示，抑郁对生活满意度有负面预测作用。生活意义是抑郁与生活满意度之间关系的中介。然而，问题解决和认知回避应对策略降低了抑郁和生活意义对生活满意度的影响。这些结果可以作为地震灾民心理健康服务的资源。同时，本研究还从资源保护理论（COR）的角度提供了在灾难情况下保护个人资源会对生活满意度产生积极影响的证据。
