dc.description.abstractAimThis study aimed to investigate the psychological difficulties and challenges related to food insecurity following the earthquakes in Kahramanmara & scedil; province on February 6, 2023, particularly examining the relationship between Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and food insecurity among survivors.Subjects and methodsThe research included 504 adults (71.4% female). The study assessed the subcomponents of food insecurity and measured PTSD levels among participants. It also evaluated the prevalence of Gastrointestinal System (GIS) issues and appetite loss.ResultsIndividuals facing food insecurity exhibited higher median PTSD scores compared to those not experiencing food insecurity. A significant majority of individuals with PTSD (90.2%) also encountered GIS issues, with a notable prevalence of appetite loss. GIS problems were common among those experiencing food insecurity.ConclusionMany disaster victims endure both food insecurity and PTSD, negatively impacting their dietary habits and health. Providing clean, dependable, and nutritious food post-disaster can reduce health risks. Psychological support and therapy for PTSD can aid recovery. More detailed studies on nutritional status are needed for deeper insights.
