The aim of this study is to determine the correlation between intolerance of uncertainty and hopelessness levels of victims who were residing in a container city after the February 6 earthquakes. This correlational descriptive study was conducted in Teknokent Container City located in X city between June and August 2023. The population consisted of survivors who were residing in the Teknokent container city established in the Y district of X city. 100 individuals were reached in the study. The researcher collected the data through face-to-face interview method using a Descriptive Characteristics Form, the Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale-Short Form (IUS 12), and the Beck Hopelessness Scale. It was determined that the participants had high levels of hopelessness and intolerance of uncertainty after the earthquake. Also, as the intolerance of uncertainty levels of the earthquake victims elevated, their hopelessness levels rose. The high levels of intolerance of uncertainty and hopelessness in the earthquake victims who resided in the container city demonstrate the necessity of implementing psychosocial support programs including psychiatric nurse, as well. Moreover, these concepts should be incorporated into the contents of these programs. center dot The earthquake maintains its destructive impacts not only when it strikes but also in the following period, depending on the human factor.center dot Situational uncertainty, especially in times of crisis such as earthquakes and subsequent period, can have a negative impact on individuals and exacerbate their psychological distress, including feelings of frustration, injustice, helplessness, anger, and rage.center dot The earthquake victims develop various psychological problems such as hopelessness and intolerance of uncertainty.center dot Determining the intolerance of uncertainty and hopelessness levels of survivors of the February 6 earthquakes, who have been living in a container city would help identify the content and necessity of psychosocial support to be given to them in the following period.
