dc.description.abstractObjectives: In this study, we aimed to examine the indirect and direct effects of the stress experienced by health workers after an earthquake on their psychological resilience. Methods: This study was conducted using the Structural Equation Model on 315 employees serving in hospitals in Kahramanmara & scedil;, Gaziantep, & Scedil;anl & imath;urfa, Diyarbak & imath;r, Adana, Ad & imath;yaman, Osmaniye, Hatay, Kilis, Malatya, and Elaz & imath;& gbreve; (11 provinces) that were most affected by the earthquake. Results: The study group consisted of 58.4% (n = 184) women and 41.6% (n = 131) men. The mean score on the Psychological Resilience Scale was 71.74, the mean score on the Coping with Stress Scale was 87.17, the mean score on the Traumatic Stress Symptom Scale was 44.04, and the mean score on the Disability Scale was 3.75. Psychological resilience had a statistically significant negative effect on traumatic stress symptoms (beta 1 = -0.26; p = 0.001 < 0.05). There was a statistically significant positive relationship between coping with stress and psychological resilience (beta 1 = 0.52; p = 0.001 < 0.05). Conclusions: It was concluded that an increase in an individual's psychological resilience will increase the level of coping with stress, and the traumatic stress symptoms of individuals with an increased level of coping with stress will decrease.
