摘要

This study examined the neighborhood-level distribution of post-earthquake vulnerability among Turkish and Syrian refugee mothers affected by the February 6, 2023 earthquakes in Türkiye. A composite vulnerability index was derived from psychosocial and earthquake-related indicators, including parental stress, parent–child relationship characteristics, housing damage, displacement, sleep and nutrition changes, bereavement, and healthcare access difficulties. ArcGIS Pro was used to visualize the geographic distribution of vulnerability across study neighborhoods. Greater vulnerability was related to higher levels of parental stress and parent–child relationship conflict. Housing damage, displacement, and bereavement were also associated with higher vulnerability, whereas refugee status alone was not an independent predictor. Although bereavement was associated with higher vulnerability, it did not moderate the association between parental stress and vulnerability, while sleep and nutrition disturbances did not significantly mediate these relationships. Refugee groups encountered greater systemic barriers to healthcare and higher rates of child sleep and nutrition disturbances. Findings highlight the need for family-oriented psychosocial support and geographically informed interventions to minimize post-disaster vulnerability.
