“…Regarding the connection between psychological resilience and PTSD, extensive research indicates that psychological resilience has a significant negative predictive effect on PTSD [47][48][49]. Studies demonstrate that individuals with high psychological resilience hold plentiful psychological resources like life satisfaction, optimism, and tranquility [14,50,51].…”

The people of disaster-affected communities are suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) due to the adverse effects of natural disasters. Education about disasters has become a possible strategy for fostering resilience and easing PTSD symptoms. This study intends to investigate the moderating roles of social support and disaster experiences on the relationships between disaster education, psychological resilience, and PTSD in disaster-prone regions of Southwest China. This study used Disaster Education Evaluation Scale, Psychological Resilience Scale (CD-RISC), Social Support Rating Scale (SRSS), event intensity Scale and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Self-Rating Scale (PTSD-SS), surveyed 712 residents in Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and other areas where natural disasters frequently occur in Southwest China. The research findings indicate that there is a negative association between disaster education and PTSD. The association is influenced by the presence of improved psychological resilience, which acts as a mediator. Additionally, it was discovered that disaster events positively moderated the relationship between psychological resilience and PTSD while social support negatively moderated it. Resilience has a noteworthy role as a substantial mediator, highlighting its crucial function in mitigating the detrimental consequences of catastrophes and amplifying the beneficial outcomes of disaster education. These results imply that building psychological resilience, which might reduce PTSD symptoms in people living in disaster-prone regions, is a critical part of disaster education. The strength of the catastrophic event and social support are other factors that affect how psychological resilience and PTSD are related. The research argues that disaster education is crucial for strengthening community resilience and reducing PTSD symptoms in at-risk areas. To increase psychological resilience and lessen PTSD in high-risk locations, policymakers and disaster management organizations should emphasize disaster education initiatives and strengthen social support network.

“…The concept of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) has been addressed in the literature in traumatic events such as exposure to war (Hoge et al, 2004), sexual assault (Dworkin et al, 2023), motor vehicle accidents (Ning et al, 2017), and child abuse (Bohus et al, 2019). In addition to these, studies have also been conducted on PTSD following natural disasters such as oods (Golitaleb et al, 2022), hurricanes (Naudé et al, 2022), landslides (Golitaleb et al, 2022), volcanic eruptions (Rahmawati et al, 2023), res (Judith C. Kulig, 2019), tsunamis (Suriastini et al, 2022), and earthquakes (Alipour & Ahmadi, 2020). Studies examining the relationship between PTSD and anxiety (Facer-Irwin et al, 2019), depression (Gulliver et al, 2021), severity of event impact (Joseph, 2000), and psychological resilience (Berger et al, 2007;Hoge et al, 2004) are known in the literature.…”

The Kahramanmaraş Earthquakes (2023) are the largest and most destructive earthquakes witnessed in the era of the Republic of Turkey. Earthquakes lead to serious mental health problems such as PTSD in individuals. Earthquakes that cause significant death and injury on a large scale, such as the Kahramanmaraş Earthquakes, can result in various mental health problems. Therefore, the aim of the study was to examine the effects of variables such as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), event impact, psychological resilience, depression, and anxiety levels on adult earthquake survivors affected by the Kahramanmaraş Earthquakes, using a quantitative research approach with survey techniques. A total of 662 earthquake survivors were reached. The effect of variables on each other was analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). According to the findings of the study, event impact had a significant and positive effect on PTSD (β = 0.780, p = 0.000). Unexpectedly, resilience did not have a significant effect on PTSD (β=-0.04, p > 0.05). PTSD had a significant and positive effect on anxiety (β = 0.936, p = 0.000) and depression (β = 0.643, p = 0.000). Consequently, event impact's severity increased PTSD, which in turn led to anxiety and depression. Surprisingly, psychological resilience did not serve as a protective factor against PTSD. For future research, it is recommended to examine psychological resilience with different event types, on different sample groups, and using more comprehensive and varied methods.
