Post-traumatic cognitions, death anxiety, and coping mechanisms in patients with major depression disorder affected by a natural disaster: A mediatory model study

It was determined that as the positive reappraisal levels of the patients with Major Depressive Disorder decreased after the trauma they experienced, their negative cognitions about themselves and their post-traumatic negative cognitions increased. It was also determined that post-traumatic cognitions increased death anxiety, which negatively affected individuals' ability to cope with the earthquake stress.
