Clinical Trial Description

Study Design The study was designed as a qualitative (semi-structured) study. The population of the study consisted of women affected by the 2023 Kahramanmaraş-Pazarcık fault line centred earthquake. The sample consisted of women aged 18 years and older who lived in Hatay, Kahramanmaraş and Adana provinces during and after the earthquake and who agreed to participate in the study. Inclusion Criteria Being over 18 years of age, being mentally healthy, speaking Turkish, being in the earthquake zone during the earthquake. Data collection method: Participants were recruited using snowball sampling. The study plan was given to the people living in the earthquake zone who were reached by the researcher. Then the participants were reached by informing each other about the study. Interviews with the participants were conducted by telephone interviews to avoid spatial, temporal and transport constraints. The study "themes" were formed according to the responses to the pre-structured open-ended questions. Study questions: - What are the demographic changes experienced by women after the earthquake? - What are the physical problems experienced by women after the earthquake? - What are the psychological/spiritual problems experienced by women after the earthquake? - What are the needs and difficulties of women after the earthquake? - What are the difficulties experienced by women in social life after the earthquake? Data collection tools: A semi-structured interview form, developed by the researcher through literature review, was used as a data collection tool. The form consists of 3 sections: personal information, changes experienced during the earthquake and problems of being a woman during the earthquake. The first part of the form consists of personal information (age, occupation, marital status, number of children, spouse's occupation, educational status, income status). The second part consists of questions about changes experienced after the earthquake (loss of first-degree relatives, change in income status, living in a house/tent/container). The third part consists of open-ended questions on opinions about life after the earthquake (changes in life in general; moving, changing jobs, etc.; problems of being a woman; hygiene, etc.). The interview form consists of 18 questions, the last 5 of which are open questions. The interview was conducted individually with each woman and each interview lasted approximately 40 minutes. Data Analysis Before the interview process began, an interview form was created in accordance with the study design. In the study, care was taken to use open-ended general questions that would allow the participant to provide detailed information on the subject and did not require short answers such as short and clear questions, multiple choice questions, and yes-no questions. For the analysis and reporting phase, an introduction was made in the form of a conversation with the participant before starting the interview, and then the interview was started if the participant was available. During the transcription phase, the questions were asked during the interview in such a way as to allow the participant to express themselves in detail without any direction or comment. The interview was conducted individually by calling each woman by telephone. During the interview, the researcher transcribed the interviewee's sentences exactly as she expressed them. At the beginning of the analysis phase, the interview data were divided into sub-themes according to the main themes that had been determined beforehand in the researcher's notes. The working scheme of the qualitative research was applied in the seven stages of the interview technique defined by Kvale. The analysis technique was based on Gürbüz and Şahin's (2017) method of "data reduction, data labelling, creating categories and themes, revealing patterns, explaining and interpreting, and reporting", which was created by considering all the literature. ;
