    Investigation of the effectiveness of short-term grief-focused group intervention for 1st degree losses in earthquake
    (Elsevier, 2025) Bal, Fatih; Filazoğlu Çokluk, Gülşen; Savaş, Esra
    A considerable number of individuals who lost family members in the 2023 earthquake in Hatay province, Turkey, have been found to experience a range of psychosocial problems and disorders. In this randomised controlled trial, the efficacy of grief-focused group therapy was compared with that of a control group that did not receive any treatment. A total of 10 Turkish adults were randomly assigned to the group therapy group. The participants were evaluated at the outset of the study and at its conclusion in order to ascertain any changes in psychological resilience (Psychological Resilience Scale for Adults), grief symptoms (Grief Scale), and cognitive flexibility (Cognitive Flexibility Inventory). The results of the study are as follows: The results demonstrated that grief-focused group therapy was an effective intervention for reducing grief symptoms and enhancing psychological resilience and cognitive flexibility. A brief grief-focused group intervention has been demonstrated to be an efficacious intervention for earthquake survivors. The brief grief-focused group intervention proved more efficacious than the control condition in enhancing psychological resilience and cognitive flexibility, while concurrently attenuating grief symptoms, among adults who lost first-degree family members in the earthquake. Overall, the Grief Recovery Focused Group Therapy Program yielded a favourable impact on alpha, beta, and gamma scores in the experimental group, while exhibiting no discernible effect on delta and theta scores.

    Psychological impact of the February 6 earthquake on displaced individuals with proximal loss residing in temporary shelters
    (Routledge, 2025) Filazoğlu Çokluk, Gülşen; Bal, Fatih; Savaş, Esra
    The present study examines the psychological effects of the earthquake that occurred in Turkey on 6 February 2023 on individuals residing in temporary shelters who have experienced losses in their immediate surroundings. The objective of the present research is to elucidate the relationships between post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, anxiety, and the subjective impact of the traumatic event. Nine months following the disaster, a survey was conducted among 923 adults aged 25 to 60 residing in temporary shelters in Antakya. Participants completed a series of validated and reliable measurement tools, including the DSM-5 Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Checklist (PCL-5), the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), and the Impact of Events Scale (IES). The findings indicate significant and positive correlations between PTSD and all other variables, including the impact of the event, depression and anxiety. The multiple regression analysis revealed that these three variables significantly predicted PTSD symptoms and collectively explained 41% of the variance in PTSD levels. This study emphasizes the cumulative psychological impact of forced displacement and close losses on individuals and underscores the pressing need for culturally sensitive and trauma-informed mental health services in post-disaster intervention processes. The findings contribute to the understanding of trauma dynamics in post-disaster communities and guide the development of targeted mental health policies and psychosocial support programs.
