The present study was conducted to determine the relationship between the psychological resilience of earthquake survivor students and their general health status. This descriptive and correlational study was conducted at a state university in Turkey in June 2023 with the nursing department students of a university that experienced two major earthquakes in Turkey on February 6, 2023. The sample of the study consisted of 287 students. The data of the study were collected with the “Descriptive Characteristics Form,” “Brief Resilience Scale,” and “General Health Questionnaire‐12.” Filling out the forms took approximately 5−10 min. It was determined in the present study that the psychological resilience of the earthquake survivor students was moderate. It was found that the girls, second graders, those with higher income levels, those who did not receive medication/professional support for their mental health, and those who described their health as good generally had higher psychological resilience levels. It was found that the general health status of the earthquake survivors was at an increased risk level, and 69% of them were at high risk for mental diseases. The mental health of girls, first graders, those who had low‐income levels, those who lost loved ones in the earthquake, those whose houses were damaged, those who received medication/professional support for mental health, those who did not generally participate in distance education, and those who described their health as deficient in general, had worse mental health levels. A high relationship was detected between nursing students' psychological resilience and mental health (p < 0.05). It was concluded in the present study that as the psychological resilience of the students increased, the risk of mental disease decreased.

Araştırma, hemşirelik öğrencilerinin eleştirel düşünme düzeylerinin yaratıcılıklarına etkisini belirlemek amacıyla yapıldı. Tanımlayıcı türde olan araştırma Mayıs-Haziran 2019 tarihleri arasında yapıldı. Araştırmanın evrenini, Atatürk Üniversitesi Hemşirelik Fakültesinde öğrenim gören 1200 öğrenci oluşturdu. Örneklemine ise; kura ile seçilen her sınıfın bir şubesinden çalışmaya katılmayı kabul eden ve ulaşılabilen 220 öğrenci alındı. Veriler toplanmadan önce; resmi kurum ve etik kurul izinleri, ve öğrencilerin sözlü ve yazılı izinleri alındı. Verilerin toplanmasında; “Anket Formu”, “Ne Kadar Yaratıcısınız? Yaratıcılık Ölçeği”, “Kaliforniya Eleştirel Düşünme Eğilimleri Ölçeği” kullanıldı. Verilerin analizinde; sayı, yüzde, ortalama, Bağımsız Gruplarda t Testi, Anova, Kruskal-Wallis H Testi ve Pearson Korelasyon Analizi kullanıldı. Öğrencilerin yaratıcılık toplam puanı 37.55±17.43, genel eleştirel düşünme puanı 195.77±19.45’di. Öğrencilerin sınıfları arasında yaratıcılık düzeyleri ve genel eleştirel düşünme eğilimleri açısından anlamlı fark olduğu saptandı (p<0.05). Anne ve baba eğitimi ile öğrencilerin yaratıcılık düzeyleri arasında anlamlı fark bulundu (p<0.05). Öğrencilerin yaratıcılık düzeyleri ile genel eleştirel düşünme eğilimleri arasında, istatistiksel olarak pozitif ve anlamlı bir ilişki tespit edildi. Sonuç olarak, öğrencilerin yaratıcılık düzeylerinin ortalamanın altında olup, genel eleştirel düşünme eğilimleri de düşük düzeydedir. Hemşirelik öğrencilerine yaratıcılık ve eleştirel düşünmeyi kazandırmak için eğitim programlarında bu konulara yer verilmesi önerilmektedir.

On February 6, 2023, a devastating earthquake centered in Kahramanmaraş, Turkey, affected millions of people, forcing many to live in tent cities. Although menstrual hygiene is a basic need, it is often overlooked in disaster settings. This study aims to explore the problems and experiences related to menstrual hygiene management among women living in tent cities following the earthquake. This qualitative study was conducted in June 2023 with 12 women living in tent cities caused by the earthquake. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews conducted via Zoom. Each interview lasted approximately 30 min. The interviews were analyzed using content analysis, and themes and sub-themes reflecting the women's experiences were identified. The content analysis revealed two main themes: "Challenges Related to Menstrual Hygiene" and "Additional Issues Related to the Menstrual Period." The first theme included difficulties accessing materials, problems with disposing of hygiene products, inadequate physical environments, and challenges related to religious rituals. The second theme highlighted changes in menstrual cycles, lack of access to comforting practices, and neglect of personal needs. The findings showed that menstrual hygiene management is an urgent yet often overlooked need during disaster periods. This study demonstrates that menstrual hygiene management is critical in disaster response efforts. Effective menstrual hygiene management is essential for protecting women's privacy and dignity. Healthcare professionals play a vital role in identifying these needs, ensuring the supply of hygiene materials, providing appropriate environments, and offering education to women. Integrating menstrual hygiene management into disaster response plans is crucial for improving women's health and well-being. • Menstrual Hygiene Management Neglected: menstrual hygiene management needs are often overlooked during disaster relief, leading to significant health and dignity issues for women. • Significant Challenges: Women in tent cities after the earthquake struggled to access sanitary products, maintain cleanliness, and find privacy, exacerbating their difficulties. • Critical Role of Healthcare Professionals: Healthcare professionals are essential in disaster response, helping to identify and address menstrual hygiene management needs and ensuring women's health and dignity are protected.
