"Effect of Earthquake Preparedness and Awareness Training on the Preparedness, Earthquake Literacy, and Attitudes Toward Earthquakes of Nursing Students Studying in the First Earthquake Zone
Abstract
Earthquakes are natural disasters with sudden and destructive effects, causing loss of life, injuries, psychological trauma, and economic losses. Turkey is located on active fault lines, and a significant portion of its population is at risk of earthquakes. Therefore, earthquake preparedness is critically important for public health.
Nursing students, as future healthcare professionals, must be prepared for disasters. Earthquake preparedness and awareness training enable students to act consciously before, during, and after an earthquake, contributing to their effective participation in disaster management. These training programs enhance earthquake literacy, supporting quick and accurate decision-making in high-risk situations.
This study is designed as a non-randomized, pre-test-post-test quasi-experimental study. Data will be collected using the Socio-Demographic Characteristics Form, "Individuals' Knowledge Scale on Readiness Levels Before and During Earthquakes, Individuals' Behavior Scale on Readiness Levels Before and During Earthquakes, Earthquake Literacy Scale, and Attitudes Toward Earthquake Scale." Assessments will be conducted before the intervention and again at the end of a 12-week period following the intervention.
This study aims to comprehensively examine the impact of earthquake preparedness and awareness training on nursing students studying in a high-risk seismic zone in Turkey. Specifically, it will evaluate the students' readiness levels before and…
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a clinical trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 3 of 5 (Moderate · trial / cohort / secondary analysis). Trials without a large randomized design, cohorts and secondary analyses give moderate evidence. Reported size: 95 participants or records.
