Abstract

The aim of the study was to evaluate the “perceived social support levels†of the medical staff after the earthquake. The sample of this study is made up of 300 of the 490 medical staff of the Medical Faculty Hospital of Van. The data were collected using a survey that included the personal information and the “multidimensional perceived social support scale.†It was observed that since the houses of the medical staff were being repaired or rebuilt, 55% of the medical staff were not residing in their homes. It was determined that 41.3% of the staff were residing in different cities away from their families. Among those, 52.4% was obliged to live apart from their families for more than 6 months. The medical staff whose families did not relocate, those who stayed with their spouses, and those who lived in containers were reported to have high social support.
