Frequent earthquakes in the Khoy city and followed by the devastating Van earthquake in Turkey, caused panic among the people and forced them to settle in camps. So, this study aims to explore lived experiences of people affected by the Khoy earthquake from living in temporary camps. Methods: In this qualitative study, semi‐structured interviews were conducted using conventional content analysis method and purposive sampling in health centers, with 24 people affected by the earthquake in Khoy city. After obtaining written informed consent, interviews were recorded and continued until data saturation was reached. Data were analyzed using MAXQDA version 12 software. Results: From the analysis of qualitative data, two themes were extracted: "Disruption of the normal life routine" and "life reconsideration." The three subcategories of the first them included "difficult life events," "disruption of social life routine," and "crisis mismanagement," and the three themes of life reconsideration included "struggling to adapt to harsh conditions," "changes in perceived life priorities," and "enhancing spiritual well‐being." Conclusion: Living in temporary camps disrupted survivors' daily lives and intensified feelings of injustice and distrust due to poor crisis management. Yet, many reevaluated their life priorities and found strength in spiritual beliefs. These findings underscore the need for policymakers to implement timely, equitable, and participatory programs that support both material and psychosocial recovery. Patient or Public Contribution: Individuals who had experienced the earthquake participated in the interviews. Their lived experiences were analyzed, and the findings of the study were subsequently reviewed and validated by the participants themselves to ensure accuracy and resonance with their perspectives. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
