Two devastating earthquakes struck Türkiye on February 6, 2023, potentially affecting not only the physical but also the mental well-being of survivors. The present research aims to examine how social support and self-efficacy act as mediators in the relationship between depression, anxiety, stress, and resilience among 2023 Türkiye earthquake survivors. The sample consists of 472 earthquake survivors between the ages of 18 and 55, 168 male (35.6%), and 304 female (64.4%). Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21), Brief Resilience Scale, Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) and Generalized Self-Efficacy Scale were used for data collection. The initial step involved computing Pearson correlation coefficients to examine the data, followed by employing the process macro technique for conducting mediation analysis. The findings showed that there are significant relationships between depression, anxiety, stress, resilience, social support, and self-efficacy. Depression, anxiety, stress had a significant negative relationship with resilience. Consequently, self-efficacy and social support could serve as protective elements for resilience among individuals who have experienced earthquakes. Strategies to improve self-efficacy and social support in earthquake survivors may be important in reducing the stress factors caused by the earthquakes
