The aim of this study is to determine the correlation between intolerance of uncertainty and hopelessness levels of victims who were residing in a container city after the February 6 earthquakes. This correlational descriptive study was conducted in Teknokent Container City located in X city between June and August 2023. The population consisted of survivors who were residing in the Teknokent container city established in the Y district of X city. 100 individuals were reached in the study. The researcher collected the data through face-to-face interview method using a Descriptive Characteristics Form, the Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale-Short Form (IUS 12), and the Beck Hopelessness Scale. It was determined that the participants had high levels of hopelessness and intolerance of uncertainty after the earthquake. Also, as the intolerance of uncertainty levels of the earthquake victims elevated, their hopelessness levels rose. The high levels of intolerance of uncertainty and hopelessness in the earthquake victims who resided in the container city demonstrate the necessity of implementing psychosocial support programs including psychiatric nurse, as well. Moreover, these concepts should be incorporated into the contents of these programs.
