BARÜ Faculty Members went to the region to carry out the project called "Detection of Psychosocial Health Conditions in Pregnant and Postpartum Women Living in an Earthquake" supported within the scope of TÜBİTAK 1002-C Field Study Focused on Natural Disasters Emergency Support Program.

Bartın University (BARÜ) Faculty of Health Sciences, Midwifery and Nursing Department academicians' project named 'Detection of Psychosocial Health Status in Pregnant and Postpartum Earthquakes' was found worthy of support within the scope of TÜBİTAK 1002-C "Natural Disasters Focused Field Study Emergency Support Program". Assoc. Dr. In the project team led by Hacer YALNIZ DİLCEN, Dr. Instructor Member Yeliz ÇAKIR KOÇAK, Dr. Instructor Member Hanifi DÜLGER, Research Assistant. Güleser ADA, Res. See. Feyza DEMIR BOZKURT is located. The project team, which consists entirely of health professional academicians, will be able to reach pregnant and puerperant women in earthquake zones and evaluate their physical and psychosocial health conditions with on-site observation. In addition to the situation determination and evaluations with the interviews to be held in the acute period after the earthquake, face-to-face meetings and forward-looking plans can be made, which will prepare the ground for the better health of women, their children and the community in the continuation of their lives.

In this direction, the effects of the earthquake on the mental health of pregnant women and puerperant women in tent cities established in the central region of Elbistan-Afşin, which are the districts of Kahramanmaraş, will be investigated.

It is very important to protect the health of pregnant and postpartum women, who have an important and special place for the whole society in terms of the continuity of the social population and epigenetic transmission processes after natural disasters such as earthquakes. The psychological well-being of women during pregnancy and puerperium plays an important role in the development of society by affecting both the mother and the baby. It is known that natural disasters such as earthquakes negatively affect physical and mental health by exposing individuals to excessive stress. However, little is known about the effects of earthquakes on pregnant and postpartum women. For these reasons, the mental health of pregnant and postpartum women will be determined by this project after these severe earthquakes that occurred one after another and had a devastating effect on a large scale. It will form the infrastructure for future studies.
