Özet
Objectives This study aims to investigate the relationship between post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and job-related stress among nurses working in both central and district areas of Ad & imath;yaman following the earthquake. Additionally, we assess potential risk factors influencing both PTSD and job-related stress. Methods This cross-sectional study involved 332 nurses. The study considered several independent variables, including age, gender, marital status, place of residence, experience of family loss due to the earthquake, and workplace location. The dependent variables for the study were identified as post-traumatic stress disorder and job stress. Results Of the nurses surveyed, 69% showed symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder. Notably, higher job stress scale scores were identified among women (P = 0.028), married individuals (P = 0.005), those with children (P < 0.001), those who were in Ad & imath;yaman during the earthquake (P < 0.001), and those who experienced family loss due to the earthquake (P < 0.001). Furthermore, a significant positive correlation was observed between PTSD scores and job stress scores (r = 0.599; P < 0.001). Results Of the nurses surveyed, 69% showed symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder. Notably, higher job stress scale scores were identified among women (P = 0.028), married individuals (P = 0.005), those with children (P < 0.001), those who were in Ad & imath;yaman during the earthquake (P < 0.001), and those who experienced family loss due to the earthquake (P < 0.001). Furthermore, a significant positive correlation was observed between PTSD scores and job stress scores (r = 0.599; P < 0.001). Conclusions Given the bidirectional impact of PTSD and job stress, prompt and comprehensive interventions are essential for safeguarding nurses' mental health and professional capacity following major events. These interventions should also consider other risk factors, such as female gender or experiencing a family loss.
