Abstract

Objective: The Kahramanmaras Earthquake, which occurred on February 6, 2023, and classified as a major and devastating earthquake, sometimes referred to as the "disaster of the century," resulted in significant destruction and loss in Kahramanmaras and 10 other provinces with magnitudes of 7.8 Mw (±0.1) and 7.5 Mw. This study aims to confirm whether there is a relationship between the academic motivation of students who experienced the earthquake and the psychological complaints they experienced.

Method: In this cross-sectional study, 706 volunteer university students who were exposed to the Kahramanmaras earthquake were included. Participants were asked to fill out a sociodemographic data form, the Academic Motivation Scale, and the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale.

Results: Damage to buildings (p = .003), lack of social support (p = .000), having psychological complaints (p = .000), and having experienced another traumatic event before the earthquake (p = .000) were significantly associated with lack of motivation. Furthermore, a significant positive relationship was found between lack of motivation and depressive symptoms (r = 0.368, p < .001), anxious symptoms (r = 0.297, p < .001), and stress (r = 0.327, p < .001).

Conclusions: The study concluded that anxious symptoms, depressive symptoms, and stress are related to lack of motivation. Individuals with damaged homes, inadequate social support, and past traumatic experiences constitute a risk group for academic demotivation.

卡赫拉马马拉伊地震后大学生心理症状与学业动机的关系分析

Kahramanmaras地震发生于2023年2月6日，被列为重大破坏性地震，有时被称为“世纪灾难”，在Kahramanmaras和其他10个省造成了7.8 Mw（±0.1）和7.5 Mw的重大破坏和损失。本研究旨在证实经历过地震的学生的学业动机与其所经历的心理抱怨之间是否存在关系。方法：采用横断面研究方法，选取受Kahramanmaras地震影响的706名大学生志愿者为研究对象。参与者被要求填写一份社会人口统计数据表、学业动机量表和抑郁焦虑压力量表。结果：建筑物受损（p = 0.003）、缺乏社会支持（p = 0.000）、有心理抱怨（p = 0.000）、在地震前经历过另一次创伤事件（p = 0.000）与动机缺乏显著相关。此外，动机缺乏与抑郁症状呈显著正相关（r = 0.368, pr = 0.297, pr = 0.327, p）。结论：本研究得出焦虑症状、抑郁症状和压力与动机缺乏有关。家庭受损、社会支持不足和过去创伤经历的个人构成了学习动机丧失的风险群体。
