The Role Of Mindfulness in The Relationship Between Social Media-Induced Secondary Traumatic Stress And Mental Health Continuum in Athletes After The 2023 Turkey Earthquakes

Abstract

We investigated the role of mindfulness in the relationship between social media-induced secondary traumatic stress and mental health continuum in athletes after 2023 earthquakes in Turkey. One hundred fifty-six athletes (Mage=24.8 years, SD=7.7) responded the Secondary Traumatic Stress Scale for Social Media Users, Mindfulness Inventory for Sports, and Sport Mental Health Continuum-Short Form. Correlation analysis indicated that social media-induced secondary traumatic stress was negatively correlated with both mindfulness and mental health continuum. While mindfulness does not play a moderator role in the social media-induced secondary traumatic stress and mental health continuum relationship, it has a partial mediation role. Although this cross-sectional study do not permit a causal inference, after the 2023 Turkey earthquakes, social media induced secondary traumatic stress may negatively affect the mental health continuum of the athletes by partially causing a decrease in mindfulness. It is considered that more research results are needed for detailed analyses.

2023 Türkiye Depremleri Sonrası Sporcularda Sosyal Medya Kaynaklı İkincil Travmatik Stres ve Ruh Sağlığı Sürekliliği İlişkisinde Bilinçli Farkındalığın Rolü

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, 2023 Türkiye depremleri sonrasında sporcularda sosyal medya kaynaklı ikincil travmatik stres ve ruh sağlığı sürekliliği ilişkisinde bilinçli farkındalığın rolünü incelemektir. Bu doğrultuda depreme doğrudan maruz kalmamış 156 erişkin sporcu (Myaş=24.8, SS=7.7) Sosyal Medya Kullanıcıları İçin İkincil Travmatik Stres Ölçeği, Sporcu Ruh Sağlığı Sürekliliği-Kısa Formu ve Sporcu Bilinçli farkındalık ölçeğine çevrimiçi yolla yanıt vermişlerdir. Araştırma bulgularına göre, sosyal medya kaynaklı ikincil travmatik stres, ruh sağlığı sürekliliği ve bilinçli farkındalıkla negatif yönde ilişkilidir. Bununla birlikte, sosyal medya kaynaklı ikincil travmatik stres ile ruh sağlığı sürekliliği arasındaki ilişkide bilinçli farkındalık düzenleyici bir rol oynamazken, kısmi bir aracılık etkisi göstermiştir. Her ne kadar bu araştırmanın kesitsel desende tasarlanmış olması sebebiyle nedensel bir çıkarım yapmak zor olsa da 2023 Türkiye depremi sonrasında sporcularda sosyal medya kaynaklı ikincil travmatik stres kısmi olarak bilinçli farkındalığın azalmasına yol açarak ruh sağlığı sürekliliğini olumsuz yönde etkileyebilir. Detaylı analiz için daha fazla araştırma bulgusuna ihtiyaç olduğu değerlendirilmiştir.
