Article Abstract
Objectives: This study examines the relationship between post-earthquake trauma and religious coping styles among earthquake survivors with chronic diseases.
Methods: This research was conducted with 122 earthquake survivors living in tent camps in Adıyaman, affected by the earthquake between May and August 2023. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews using the "Sociodemographic Form," "Earthquake Post-Traumatic Level Determination Scale," and "Religious Coping Scale." Pearson Correlation analysis examined the relationship between the 2 scales.
Results: The average trauma level score was 53.82±9.07, the Positive Religious Coping scale score was 23.64±2.77, and the Negative Religious Coping scale score was 7.18±1.73. There was a moderate positive relationship between post-earthquake trauma levels and positive religious coping levels (<0.05). No significant relationship was found between trauma levels and negative religious coping (>0.05).
Conclusions: It was determined that earthquake survivors with chronic diseases in Kahramanmaraş had high levels of trauma. As the post-earthquake trauma level increased, the level of positive religious coping also increased, but it did not affect the level of negative coping.

Complex trauma (CT), or chronic interpersonal trauma that begins early in life, has been associated with a multitude of negative outcomes, including posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) and emotion dysregulation. Some CT survivors also exhibit adaptive functioning, such as resilience. Social and contextual factors may have an impact on the expression of adverse and adaptive outcomes for CT survivors, yet have been neglected.
