Özet

Although a crucial relationship has been described between resilience and coping with earthquake stress (CES), little is known about the effects of anxiety, and stress, and depression have on this association. This study aims to investigate the indirect effects of anxiety, stress, and depression on the association between resilience and CES among adults who survived the Kahramanmaraş-centered earthquakes. The participants of the study included 415 adults (28.9% male, 71.1% female, Mage = 27.06) who were affected by the earthquakes. We used the Pearson correlation method to examine the associations among variables, and utilized Hayes' bootstrapping for the serial mediation analyses. The results indicate an increase in resilience after the earthquake disaster to also increase CES, with anxiety and stress affecting the resilience-CES relationship through depression. The results highlight the significance of resilience, anxiety, stress, and depression in elevating CES levels among adult earthquake survivors.
