Key Points

This research aims to assess psychological outcomes, including distress, resilience, and well-being, among earthquake survivors.
Conducted a cross-sectional survey with 642 adult survivors from 11 cities impacted by the earthquakes.
Participants completed validated self-report questionnaires including BDI-II, BAI, PCL-5, WEMWBS, and CD-RISC.
Data analysis included hierarchical and logistic regression to identify predictors of well-being and PTSD symptoms.
Survivors reported moderate levels of psychological distress, including depression (M = 22.1) and anxiety (M = 19.4).
31.0% exceeded the PCL-5 cut-off for probable PTSD symptoms.
Levels of resilience and well-being were below normative values, with well-being at M = 35.6 and resilience at M = 56.0.
