Detaljerad beskrivning
Adolescents living in disaster-affected regions may experience increased psychological distress, reduced resilience, and greater vulnerability to peer bullying. School-based psychoeducational interventions may strengthen coping skills, improve emotional regulation, and promote healthier peer relationships.
This study was conducted in Hatay, Türkiye, following the February 2023 earthquakes to examine changes in psychological resilience and bullying victimization after participation in a structured psychoeducational intervention.
The study used a single-group pretest-posttest mixed-methods design. High school students participated in a 15-week intervention consisting of two sequential components. The first component was a 10-week psychological resilience program designed to improve self-awareness, emotional regulation, coping skills, self-efficacy, goal setting, and social support. The second component was a 5-week peer bullying awareness program developed by the Ministry of National Education with educational support from UNICEF, focusing on recognizing bullying, empathy, bystander intervention, and prevention strategies.
Quantitative outcomes were measured using the Child and Youth Resilience Measure-12 (CYRM-12) and the Child-Adolescent Bullying Scale-9 Short Form (CABS-9). Assessments were performed before the intervention and three months after completion of the program. Qualitative data were collected using open-ended written questions to explore participants' perceptions of the intervention and its effects.
The primary objective was to evaluate changes in psychological resilience and bullying victimization following participation in the program. Secondary objectives included exploring students' experiences of the intervention and identifying perceived changes in personal development, peer relationships, and school climate.

Experimentell: Intervention Group
Participants in this single-arm study received a sequential 15-week school-based behavioral intervention.
The intervention consisted of a 10-week Psychological Resilience Program followed immediately by a 5-week Peer Bullying Awareness Program.
Weekly group sessions focused on developing emotional regulation, coping skills, resilience, communication, social support, empathy, bullying awareness, bystander intervention, conflict resolution, and bullying prevention.
All participants received both intervention components in the same order, and outcomes were assessed before the intervention and three months after program completion.

The Psychological Resilience Program was a structured, school-based psychoeducational intervention delivered in weekly group sessions over 10 consecutive weeks.
The program was designed to strengthen adolescents' psychological resilience following the 2023 earthquakes in Türkiye.
The curriculum included activities aimed at improving self-awareness, emotional awareness and regulation, stress management, problem-solving, coping strategies, communication skills, self-efficacy, goal setting, optimism, social support, and adaptive responses to challenging life events.
Sessions were conducted using interactive methods, including group discussions, experiential activities, role-playing, reflection exercises, and practical skill-building tasks.
The intervention was delivered by trained professionals according to a standardized program protocol.
The Peer Bullying Awareness Program was delivered immediately after completion of the resilience program and consisted of five weekly school-based group sessions.
The program was developed by the Turkish Ministry of National Education with educational support from UNICEF and was designed to increase awareness of peer bullying and promote healthy peer relationships.
Session topics included the definition and types of bullying, recognition of bullying behaviors, empathy development, emotional awareness, effective communication, bystander responsibilities, conflict resolution, reporting mechanisms, and strategies for preventing bullying in school settings.
Interactive discussions, scenario-based learning, group activities, and reflective exercises were used to encourage active participation and application of the concepts in everyday school life.
