The research combines quantitative and qualitative data to explore the interplay between violence, stigmatization, and health outcomes among the affected academics. This study particularly focuses on the aftermath of the State of Emergency in Turkey in 2016, which led to the dismissal of thousands of academics. We employ the World Health Organization's definition of violence to understand the broad nature of violent acts, encompassing power dynamics and systemic repression. The findings highlight the extensive physical and mental health consequences faced by AfP due to political violence. The prevalence of diagnosed mental illness among respondents is notably high, indicating that exposure to trauma, threats, and repression leads to severe mental distress. Anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and musculoskeletal diseases are among the common health issues reported. The research underscores how political violence disrupts psychosocial pillars including safety and security, bonds and networks, justice, roles and identities, and existential meaning, and explores how these disruptions contribute to communal mental health deterioration. It also identifies the impact on well-being of economic losses, uncertainties, and isolation from social and academic networks.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/27551938231226361","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,15]],"date-time":"2024-01-15T22:32:45Z","timestamp":1705357965000},"page":"285-294","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Impact of Political Violence on Health: The Case of Academics for Peace in Turkey"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"54","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0957-4927","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Asl\u0131","family":"Davas","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine Department of Public Health, Ege University, 35100 Bornova Izmir, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Feride Aksu","family":"Tan\u0131k","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine Department of Public Health, Ege University, 35100 Bornova Izmir, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-27551938231226361","unstructured":"World report on violence and health.
