Earthquakes cause severe destruction in the region where they occur. Children and adolescents are the group most affected group by earthquakes, and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder is most common in this group. The age-related increase in Grip Strength varies between childhood and early adolescence. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the relationship between Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Hand Grip and Hand Measurements of children exposed to the Kahramanmaraş-centered earthquake on February 6, 2023. The "Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Response Scale for Children" was administered to 116 children who in children between the ages of 8 and 12 groups, and consent was obtained from the participants. Morphometric measurements of the hands of the children were measured with a digital caliper. Children's hand Grip Strength measurements were made by using a digital hand dynamometer. The analysis of study data was performed with the SPSS (Statistical Program in Social Sciences) 25 software. Positive and statistically significant relationships were detected between right and left-hand Grip Strength and right and left-hand measurements of females and males (p < 0.05). Statistically significant and negative relationships were detected between PTSD and right and left-hand Grip Strength and right and left-hand measurements in females and males (p < 0.05).In the present study, it was detected that as post-traumatic stress disorder increases, hand Grip Strength decreases. We think that these findings will guide future prospective studies.
地震在发生地区造成严重破坏。儿童和青少年是受地震影响最严重的群体，创伤后应激障碍在这一群体中最为常见。握力在儿童和青少年时期的增长与年龄有关。本研究旨在探讨 2023 年 2 月 6 日发生在卡赫拉曼马拉什中心的地震中，暴露于地震的儿童的创伤后应激障碍与手握力和手部测量之间的关系。对 116 名 8 至 12 岁儿童进行了“儿童创伤后应激障碍反应量表”评估，并获得了参与者的同意。使用数字卡尺测量儿童手部的形态测量值。使用数字手持测力计测量儿童的手握力。使用 SPSS（社会科学统计程序）25 软件对研究数据进行分析。研究结果显示，女性和男性的右手和左手握力以及右手和左手测量值之间存在正相关且具有统计学意义（p<0.05）。女性和男性的 PTSD 与右手和左手握力以及右手和左手测量值之间存在负相关且具有统计学意义（p<0.05）。在本研究中，我们发现随着创伤后应激障碍的增加，手握力下降。我们认为这些发现将为未来的前瞻性研究提供指导。
