Abstract
Introduction: In natural disasters, children encounter serious health problems.
Method: This qualitative phenomenological study investigated the problems encountered by children with a diagnosis of celiac disease who lived in the earthquake region of Kahramahmaras in Turkey. Colaizzi method, a phenomenological research method, was used in the study. Data collection involved in-depth interviews conducted with the 'Introductory Information Form' and 'Semi-structured Interview Form,' both developed by the researchers.
Results: This study was conducted with 17 children diagnosed with celiac disease living in the Kahramanmaras earthquake region of Turkey. Four main themes emerged from the data: (1) nutrition security and access problems, (2) dietary noncompliance, (3) psychological effects, and (4) difficulties in accessing health services.
Conclusions: The earthquake not only disrupted the physical and emotional well-being of children with celiac disease but also highlighted systemic vulnerabilities in disaster preparedness and response for individuals with special dietary needs.
