Introduction and Purpose: It may be vital to control the nutritional status of earthquake victims who have special dietary needs after an earthquake, which is one of the natural disasters. It is necessary to provide clean water and microbiologically safe food to earthquake victims in a short time after the earthquake and to meet their energy, protein and vitamin needs. Studies in the literature suggest that nutritional support is provided by experts and that the emergency and long-term health conditions of earthquake victims should be followed. The aim of this study is; to examine nutritional interventions before and after the earthquake. Materials and Methods: Medline / PubMed, EBSCO, Cochrane, Science Direct, Web Of Science databases were searched for research
examining the importance of post-earthquake nutrition between 2009-2021. National and international studies
have been examined by doing the literature review. Earthquake, Nutritional interventions, nutritional status and
public health keywords were used while scanning. Results: As a result of the search with keywords, 28 studies
that fit the criteria were included in the study in terms of earthquake examples. Particularly, countries that
frequently encounter earthquakes are included. Conclusion: In this review, health problems, nutritional problems
and the interventions that should be done in these adverse situations that occur after high-intensity earthquakes
that occurred in the whole world and caused severe economic, psychological and physiological damage were
discussed. These results draw attention to the importance of interventions and physical, psychological and
nutritional attitudes since the earthquake. In line with this information, precautions should be taken beforehand
against any health problems that may be encountered after a disaster in our country, a disaster policy should be
established and emergency special diet sy

Doğal afetlerde gıda ihtiyaç durumunun değerlendirilmesi ve beslenme müdahaleleri: Deprem örnekleri açısından incelenmesi

Öz

Giriş ve Amaç: Doğal afetlerden biri olan deprem sonrasında özel diyet ihtiyaçları bulunan depremzedelerin nutrisyonel durumlarının kontrol edilmesi hayati önem taşıyabilmektedir. Depremzedelere, deprem sonrasında kısa sürede temiz su ve mikrobiyolojik olarak güvenli yiyeceğin sağlanması ve enerji, protein ve vitamin ihtiyaçlarının karşılanması gerekmektedir. Literatürde yapılan çalışmalar beslenme desteğinin uzmanlar tarafından sağlanarak depremzedelerin acil ve uzun dönem sağlık durumlarının takip edilmesini önermektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı; deprem öncesi ve sonrasında oluşturulan beslenme müdahalelerini incelemektir.
Gereç ve Yöntem: 2009-2021 yılları arasında deprem sonrası beslenmenin önemini inceleyen araştırmalar Medline/ PubMed, EBSCO, Cochrane, Science Direct, Web Of Science veritabanları taranmıştır. Literatür incelemesi yapılarak ulusal ve uluslar arası çalışmalar incelenmiştir. Tarama yapılırken Deprem, Beslenme müdahaleleri, Nutrisyonel durum ve halk sağlığı anahtar kelimeleri kullanılmıştır.
Bulgular: Anahtar kelimelerle yapılan tarama sonucunda kriterlere uyan 28 çalışma deprem örnekleri açısından incelenme kapsamına alınmıştır. Özellikle depremle sıklıkla karşılaşan ülkelere yer verilmiştir.
Sonuç: Bu derlemede, tüm Dünya’da gerçekleşen ve ekonomik, psikolojik ve fizyolojik olarak ağır hasarlar veren yüksek şiddetli depremler sonrasında ortaya çıkan sağlık sorunları, beslenme problemleri ve bu olumsuz durumlarda yapılması gereken müdahaleler tartışılmıştır. Bu sonuçlar deprem anından itibaren yapılan müdahalelerin ve fiziksel, psikolojik, nutrisyonel tutumların önemine dikkat çekmektedir. Bu bilgiler doğrultusunda ülkemizde herhangi bir afet sonrası karşılaşılabilecek sağlık sorunlarına karşın önlemlerin önceden alınması, afet politikasının oluşturulması ve herhangi bir afet durumuna karşın acil özel diyet sistemlerinin oluşturulması gerekmektedir. Bu yaklaşımlar halk sağlığı politikasına katkıda bulunacaktır.
