Özet
This qualitative study explores the experiences of older adult earthquake survivors in Türkiye, focusing on the intersectional challenges they faced after the earthquake of 6 February 2023. Older adults often have multiple vulnerabilities, such as age-related physical limitations, socioeconomic status, health conditions, and social isolation, which exacerbate their risks and needs during disasters. Using semi-structured interviews with 22 participants from different affected regions, this qualitative descriptive study sheds light on their problems with mobility, access to basic needs, and psychological distress. Using an intersectional framework, it explores how factors such as independence in transport, housing conditions, and family structure influence their experiences. The research emphasizes the importance of tailoring emergency response systems to address these unique challenges, including housing, healthcare, and psychosocial support. The findings show that older adults face both immediate physical and psychological challenges as well as long-term adaptation difficulties, emphasizing the need for comprehensive, inclusive disaster preparedness and response strategies. This study contributes to the literature by detailing the intersectional experiences of older earthquake survivors and advocating for policies and practices that ensure equitable support and resource allocation and ultimately promote more resilient communities.
