Abstract:

 The main purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between peri-traumatic stress levels of individuals affected by the Kahramanmaraş earthquake and methods of coping with stress through leisure activities. While the scope of the study consisted of individuals living in the provinces of Kahramanmaraş, Gaziantep, Hatay and Adıyaman, the sample group consisted of 269 people who participated in various leisure activities in these provinces. In this study, which was carried out using peri-traumatic stress and stress coping scales, the relevant data were collected through Google forms between January 3 and February 3, 2025. The analysis of the data obtained within the scope of the study was analyzed in the SPSS 27.00 package program. In this context, first of all, skewness and kurtosis values were examined in order to determine whether the obtained data were suitable for normal distribution. In order to provide the assumption of normality, t-test was applied for independent samples to evaluate the differences between the two groups. In addition, one-way analysis of variance ANOVA was used in cases where three or more groups needed to be compared, while pearson correlation analysis was used to determine the relationship between peri-traumatic stress and the ability of individuals affected by the earthquake to cope with stress through leisure time. As a result of the analysis, it was determined that as the participants bodily arousal and perceived threat to life increased, their ability to cope with stress weakened.

 Bu çalışmanın temel amacı, Kahramanmaraş depreminden etkilenen bireylerin peri-travmatik stres düzeyleri ile serbest zaman etkinlikleri aracılığıyla stresle başa çıkma yöntemleri arasındaki ilişkinin incelenmesidir. Araştırmanın kapsamını Kahramanmaraş, Gaziantep, Hatay ve Adıyaman illerinde yaşayan bireyler oluştururken, örneklem grubunu bu illerde çeşitli serbest zaman aktivitelerine katılım gösteren 269 kişi meydana getirmiştir. Peri-travmatik stres ve stresle başa çıkabilme ölçeklerinin kullanılarak gerçekleştirilen bu araştırmada ilgili veriler, 3 Ocak - 3 Şubat 2025 tarihleri arasında, Google formlar üzerinden toplanmıştır. Çalışma kapsamında elde edilen verilerin analizi ise, SPSS 27.00 paket programında analiz edilmiştir. Bu bağlamda öncelikle elde edilen verilerin normal dağılıma uygun olup olmadığını belirlemek amacıyla çarpıklık ve basıklık değerleri incelenmiştir. Normallik varsayımının sağlanması doğrultusunda, iki grup arasındaki farklılıkları değerlendirmek için bağımsız örneklemler için t-testi uygulanmıştır. Bunun yanı sıra, üç veya daha fazla grubun karşılaştırılması gereken durumlarda tek yönlü varyans analizi ANOVA yararlanılırken, depremden etkilenen bireylerin peri travmatik stres ve boş zaman yoluyla stresle başa çıkabilme becerileri arasındaki ilişkinin belirlenebilmesinde ise pearson korelasyon analizinden yararlanılmıştır. Yapılan analizler sonucunda, katılımcıların bedensel uyarılma ve algılanan yaşam tehdidi arttıkça, stresle başa çıkma becerilerinin zayıfladığı tespit edilmiştir.
