Analysis of Adaptation Processes and Anxiety Levels of University Students Staying with Earthquake Survivor Families in State Dormitories
(BMC, 2025) Dag, Ibrahim; Olgac, Kadriye
Background This study aimed to examine the adaptation processes and anxiety levels of university students living with earthquake survivor families placed in state dormitories after recent major earthquakes.
Materials and Methods A descriptive, cross-sectional quantitative study was conducted in a state dormitory between May and August 2023. A total of 108 students participated using the snowball sampling method. Data were collected through a Descriptive Characteristics Form and the Beck Anxiety Scale. Statistical analyses included descriptive statistics and linear regression using SPSS 25.0.
Results Among the participants, 49% reported increased frequency of contact with their families after the earthquake. Sharing the same dormitory space with earthquake-affected families led to limited personal space for 56%, emotional impact for 51%, and benefits such as emotional support for 56%. Additionally, 45% noted changes in their attitudes, 46% in their social lives, and 56% in their social responsibility awareness. Regression analysis showed that sharing the same environment with families explained 33.7% of the variance in Beck anxiety scores. A significant positive relationship was found between cohabitation with families and anxiety levels (B=0.337, p<0.001), where each unit increase in cohabitation was associated with a 5.379-point increase in anxiety scores.
Conclusions The findings indicate that post-earthquake family cohabitation significantly affects students' psychological and social well-being. Living in close proximity to affected family members increases anxiety levels. Providing psychological support services for students is crucial to reduce anxiety and facilitate post-disaster recovery and adaptation.

Background: Many studies have found that the academic success of school-age children is proved to be in close relation with regular and healthy nutrition. Objectives: This study aims to investigate the relationship between breakfast quality and academic success of refugee primaryschool children. Methods: After scanning 24 schools in the city center, 384 students who were refugee Syrians from primary schools in Mardin city center were included. In addition to the demographic characteristics of the individuals, breakfast habits of these students were investigated. Results: In this study, 91.6% of the children stated that they have breakfast habits. The reasons for skipping breakfast among students of all levels can be listed as being late for school (67.8%) and not liking to have breakfast (18.8%). The breakfast quality index (BQI) score was low in both boys and girls and all age groups. According to this marked value, all age groups had poor nutrition in terms of breakfast. Although girls showed a significant difference in all age groups (P = 0.046), this difference was not significant among boys (P = 0.671). The number of students with a breakfast quality score higher than 8 was very low. It was observed that boys had the highest academic success with the lowest breakfast quality score. The breakfast quality score of girls with the best academic success ranged between 4 - 7 points. Conclusions: It was observed that academic success was linked to having breakfast habit, and students had breakfast habit performed relatively better in school compared to those who did not.
