Abstract:

 This research examines the relationship between post-traumatic stress disorder PTSD and mental well-being MWB levels among employees who are not earthquake survivors. The devastating effects of earthquakes impact not only those directly affected but also all employees deeply. There have been no studies in the literature that address PTSD and MWB levels from the perspective of earthquakes, making this research an important contribution to the existing gap. The study was conducted with 203 voluntary employees. The status of employees not affected by the earthquake was assessed using the Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Checklist and the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale. Statistical analyses revealed a negative relationship between PTSD and MWB; as PTSD symptoms increased, MWB levels decreased. Additionally, it was found that demographic factors significantly influenced PTSD and MWB scores. These findings are considered to provide important contributions to improving employees psychological health.

 Bu araştırma, depremzede olmayan çalışanların travma sonrası stres bozukluğu TSSB ile mental iyi oluş MİO düzeyleri arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemektedir. Depremlerin yıkıcı etkileri, sadece direkt etkilenenleri değil, tüm çalışanları da derinden etkilemektedir. Alan yazınında TSSB ve MİO düzeylerini deprem perspektifinden ele alan bir çalışmaya rastlanmamıştır, bu nedenle bu araştırma önemli bir boşluğu doldurmaktadır. Araştırma, 203 gönüllü çalışanla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Depremzede olmayan çalışanların durumu, Travma Sonrası Stres Bozukluğu Kontrol Listesi ve Warwick-Edinburgh Mental İyi Oluş Ölçeği ile belirlenmiştir. İstatistiksel analizler, TSSB ile MİO arasında negatif bir ilişki olduğunu göstermiştir; TSSB semptomları arttıkça MİO düzeyleri azalmaktadır. Ayrıca, demografik faktörlerin TSSB ve MİO puanları üzerinde etkili olduğu belirlenmiştir. Bu sonuçların, çalışanların psikolojik sağlığını iyileştirmek için önemli katkılar sağlayabileceği değerlendirilmektedir.
