| This study aims to assess the prevalence of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in mothers affected by the February 2023 earthquakes in Turkey and to explore the influence of spiritual well-being and other factors on their Post-Traumatic Growth (PTG) levels. The study's sample consisted of mothers invited to participate voluntarily through online social media platforms between October-December 2023. The Mother Information Form, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Control List, Post-Traumatic Growth Scale, and Spiritual Well-Being Scale (SWBS) were used as data collection instruments. A total of 303 mothers participated in this study. The mean total PTSD score was 49.35 (: 19.76), and 83.5% of mothers were categorized under severe anxiety levels. There was a statistically significant weak and positive relationship between PTSD and PTG levels (: 0.282, :0.000). When the predictors of PTG are considered, the spiritual well-being of mothers significantly predicts PTG (: 43.944, : 0.000). It accounts for 12.7% ( Square = 0.127) of the variance in mothers' PTG. Mothers showed high PTSD levels 9 months after the earthquakes, but alongside these high levels, it has a positive relation with their PTG, which may show mothers becoming stronger after their traumatic experience. Study results showed the mothers' spiritual levels were a significant predictor for PTG. |
