Abstract

Objectives: The study was conducted to assess the psychological resilience and stress symptoms in health care workers following the 2023 Kahramanmaraş earthquake.

Methods: The study was completed with a sample size of 313 health care workers who experienced the earthquake and was carried out in a descriptive and correlational design. The Sociodemographic Data Form, Brief Psychological Resilience Scale (BPRS), and Traumatic Stress Symptom Scale-5 (TSSS-5) were used.

Results: The study found that 39.6% of health care workers were diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder, 41.2% of participants considered leaving their jobs after the earthquake, and 79.9% reported a decrease in job motivation (slight or a lot). It was determined that there was a negative correlation between the participants' BPRS scores and TSSS-5 scores (r:-0.523, P = 0.00).

Conclusions: In accordance with the findings of our study, it can be posited that traumatic stress symptoms diminished as the level of psychological resilience increased in health care workers who experienced the earthquake.

2023年卡赫拉马马拉伊地震后医护人员的心理弹性和压力症状评估

目的：研究2023年卡赫拉马马拉伊地震后医护人员的心理弹性和应激症状。方法：采用描述性和相关性设计，以313名经历过地震的卫生保健工作者为样本进行研究。采用社会人口学数据表、简易心理弹性量表（BPRS）和创伤应激症状量表-5 （TSSS-5）。结果：研究发现39.6%的医护人员被诊断为创伤后应激障碍，41.2%的参与者在地震后考虑离职，79.9%的受访者表示工作动机下降（轻微或严重）。确定被试的BPRS得分与TSSS-5得分呈负相关（r:-0.523, P = 0.00）。结论：根据我们的研究结果，我们可以假设，在经历过地震的医护人员中，创伤应激症状随着心理弹性水平的提高而减轻。
