In this study, the relationship between the disaster preparedness belief status and psychological resilience of undergraduate students studying in the field of Emergency Aid and Disaster Management was examined. The research was designed in the correlational model. The universe of the study consists of 2430 undergraduate students studying in the field of Emergency Aid and Disaster Management in Turkey. The convenient sampling method, one of the non-random sampling methods, was used as a sample in the study. In this context, the study was conducted with 517 (21.27%) students who were accessible and agreed to participate in the study. Demographic information form, general disaster preparedness belief scale and short psychological resilience scales were used as data collection tools. Cronbach's alpha analysis was used to determine the reliability of the scales, and Sperman's correlation analysis was used to determine the relationship between the scales and sub-dimensions. Participation in the study was 155 (32.2%) students and Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University students participated the most. The Shapiro-Wilk test was used to determine whether the data showed normal distribution in the analysis. During the analysis of the data, the descriptive features such as total number, minimum, maximum, mean, standard deviation and median values were given. As a result of the analyzes, it was seen that the total and sub-dimensions of the disaster preparedness belief scale had a positive and significant relationship with psychological resilience. However, it was determined that perceived seriousness and psychological resilience had a significant negative relationship. Accordingly, the high level of general disaster preparedness belief in Emergency Aid and Disaster Management students affects their psychology positively. However, as their severity increases, their psychology is negatively affected.
