Objective: The aim of this study is to develop an integrated definition and a conceptual model covering the dimensions of disaster literacy. Methods: A systematic literature review was conducted to identify the definitions and conceptual frameworks of disaster literacy. The content analysis of definitions and conceptual frameworks were conducted to identify the central dimensions of disaster literacy and to develop an integrated model. Results: In this study, 8 disaster literacy definitions and 4 conceptual model studies related to disasters were found. In line with these studies, a comprehensive definition of disaster literacy was presented. In addition, based on content analysis, a 16-matrix integrative conceptual model of the mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery dimensions of disaster literacy, and the access, understanding, appraisal, and application areas of disaster information processing were developed. Conclusions: In this study, a comprehensive definition and conceptual framework of disaster literacy were presented in an integrated model. By using this model, practices that are special to the phases of a disaster can be identified and supported in society. In addition, the model can contribute to empirical studies by providing the basis for the development of tools to measure disaster literacy.
Objective: This study was performed as a descriptive study in order to determine the perspectives of university students on gender roles.
person. What is witness event doing? What are the main causes of absence of first aid? Background: The ability of carrying out first aid should be one of basic skills in each of us. Methods: The study was conducted in the third quarter of 2015, on 335 members of emergency medical teams: doctors, paramedics, nurses and drivers, who provided medical rescue activities in the Provincial Ambulance and Health Transport "Meditrans" in Warsaw. The research tool was an anonymous questionnaire. Results: The straight majority of respondents encountered granting first aid at the event on the spot, however, the frequency of appearing of such proceedings isn't too high. First aid has most often been given on the street and in houses. Middleaged persons constituted the most numerous group that first aid was administered to. The important element is the reason not to provide first aid by bystanders, in the opinion of members of the ambulance. The most common answers were: fear, lack of knowledge and skills, reluctance, indifference, lack of training, lack of experience and fear of doing harm. Conclusion: By far the majority of respondents meets with the carrying of first aid, but respondents assessed the low incidence of such situations. Placing the victim in the recovery position is the simplest and most common form of the provision of first aid. Organized training in first aid should be extended to activities carried out in other situations, other than cardiac arrest. Only continuous education and in particular the practical training, will help people to overcome the barrier of their limitation in order to help others. Background: HL is to control all of the behaviors influencing his/her life and to adapt daily activities to their health condition. For this reason, it is important to improve HL of EADM students, who are expected to carry out emergency services at a desk, and to perform medical intervention to the scene in cases of disasters and emergencies in the future. Methods: Three of four (n = 268) of the students was reached in this descriptive study. The data was obtained through a survey form, including the scale of Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile (HPLP-II), as well as socio-demographic characteristics. An index where certain characteristics of the participants were scored on a scale of 0-10, was formed for the study (low score regarded as positive in terms of HL behaviors). A written consent from the ethical committee and the administration was obtained, and a verbal consent was obtained from the students. Results: Two of three of the participants were male and 60,3% have a job. The average age (SD) was 21,3 (±1,6) and scores were 131,3 (±17,5) for SYBD-II and 3,3 (±1,7) for the index. The results of the logistic regression analysis indicated that having a regular family life (OR = 3,38; p < 0,05), being a junior student (OR = 2,11; p < 0,05) and good friendships at school (OR = 1,16; p < 0,05) have significant impacts on the score of SYBD-II scale. Conclusion: The study concluded that good friendships and a regul...
This study was conducted to provide a comprehensive understanding of determinants of science teachers’ healthy eating intentions and behaviors by combining the health belief model and the theory of planned behavior into one conceptual framework and considering the mediating impact of attitude and intention on behavior. This study was conducted based on cross sectional study design between November 2019 and February 2020. A total of 13 hypotheses were tested and data collected from 563 science teachers in Turkey were analyzed using structural equation modeling. The results of the study showed that the proposed model explained the variance in intention and behavior at a more satisfactory level than existing theories. The results also revealed that all of the hypotheses were supported. In addition, the mediating role of attitude and intention in understanding science teachers’ healthy eating behaviors was identified. The study can provide important implications for education stakeholders, curriculum developers and science educators. Keywords: health belief model, healthy eating behavior, science education, theory of planned behavior
