Abstract

This study was carried out to examine the spiritual well-being and depression levels of postpartum women following the two major earthquakes that occurred in 2023 with the epicenter Kahramanmaraş in Turkey. This cross-sectional analytical study was conducted with the participation of 345 postpartum women admitted to the maternity ward of a medical faculty hospital in the provincial center of Kahramanmaraş in Turkey between June and September 2023. Data were collected using the Spiritual Well-Being Scale (SWBS) and the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS). Independent-samples t-tests, Pearson's correlation tests, and simple linear regression analysis were used in the analyses. It was determined that 48.7% of the participants were at risk of postpartum depression. The participants whose relatives were lost/injured in the earthquakes and those who experienced financial losses had significantly lower total SWBS scores and significantly higher total EPDS scores (p < 0.05). A negative and statistically significant relationship was found between the total SWBS and total EPDS scores of the participants (p < 0.001). In this study, it was determined that after the Kahramanmaraş earthquakes in 2023, almost one in every two postpartum women was at risk of depression, and their earthquake experience affected their mental health and spiritual well-being negatively. Moreover, as the spiritual well-being of the postpartum women increased, their risk of postpartum depression decreased.

期刊介绍： Psychology, Health & Medicine is a multidisciplinary journal highlighting human factors in health. The journal provides a peer reviewed forum to report on issues of psychology and health in practice. This key publication reaches an international audience, highlighting the variation and similarities within different settings and exploring multiple health and illness issues from theoretical, practical and management perspectives. It provides a critical forum to examine the wide range of applied health and illness issues and how they incorporate psychological knowledge, understanding, theory and intervention. The journal reflects the growing recognition of psychosocial issues as they affect health planning, medical care, disease reaction, intervention, quality of life, adjustment adaptation and management. For many years theoretical research was very distant from applied understanding. The emerging movement in health psychology, changes in medical care provision and training, and consumer awareness of health issues all contribute to a growing need for applied research. This journal focuses on practical applications of theory, research and experience and provides a bridge between academic knowledge, illness experience, wellbeing and health care practice.
