This study examines the relationship between earthquake anxiety and the well-being of mothers with preschool children. The study group of this relational survey model study consisted of 197 mothers with preschool children who were in one of the cities where the earthquake occurred on February 6 in Turkey. The data were collected using the Personal Information Form, Earthquake Anxiety Scale, and Well-Being Scale. As a result of the study, it was observed that the mothers had high earthquake anxiety. It was determined that the earthquake anxiety of the mothers who were trapped under the rubble and lost a first-degree relative was higher, and their well-being was lower than those who were not trapped under the rubble and did not lose a first-degree relative. It was determined that the earthquake anxiety of mothers who lost a relative was significantly higher than those who did not lose a relative. It was determined that there was no significant relationship between the mother's marital status and employment status, and their earthquake anxiety. It was determined that there was a meaningful relationship between mothers' earthquake anxiety and their well-being; mothers with less earthquake anxiety had higher well-being.
