Objective: This study aims to adapt Environmental Risk Coping Scale into Turkish and examine its psychometric properties. Method: For this aim, the psychometric properties of the scale adapted into Turkish were tested in a sample of 230 participants living in 6 cities with high earthquake risk in Türkiye. Participants responded to the Environmental Risk Coping Scale, Environmental Risk Perception Scale, questions on Present Fatalistic and Future Time Orientation, and a demographic information form (i.e., age, gender, education level, city of residence, and homeowner/renter status, past earthquake experience, extent of earthquake damage). Results: The findings of the analyses (i.e., confirmatory factor analysis, reliability analysis) showed that this 12-item scale is reliable and valid in the Turkish sample. Specifically, desirable fit indices (χ2 / sd = 2.06, p < .001, CFI = .96, TLI = .95, RMSEA = .07, 90 % CI [.05, .09], SRMR = .04) demonstrated that the confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the two-factor structure (problem focused and emotion focused coping strategies) and Cronbach α values (.89 for 9-item problem focused coping strategies factor and .72 for 3-item emotion focused coping strategies factor) indicate that the internal consistency of the scale is high. In addition, the sub-dimensions of the Turkish version of the scale were correlated with variables such as risk perception, present-fatalistic time orientation, future time orientation, and demographic factors such as age, earthquake experience, and the extent of damage in earthquake(s) in line with the literature. Conclusion: The Turkish adaptation of the Coping with Environmental Risk Scale was found to be a reliable and valid scale in the Turkish sample.

The aim of this study was to investigate these residents’ levels of earthquake risk perception and preparedness following the disastrous earthquake event on 6 February 2023 near Kahramanmaraş in Türkiye. The study involved a cross-sectional descriptive design. A sample of convenience comprising 411 residents of areas not impacted directly by the 6 February 2023 earthquakes completed an online survey over a three-month period March to May 2023. There was no indication of notably elevated levels of earthquake risk perception among those residents surveyed overall. Levels of physical, or material, preparedness for earthquakes were lower than desirable. Earthquake risk perception was negatively, though weakly, related to both physical and psychological preparedness. Physical preparedness was strongly and positively correlated with psychological preparedness. Having (a)past earthquake experience (b)read or viewed earthquake safety material, (c)attended earthquake safety meetings and (d)work experience related to emergencies were all associated with significantly higher levels of residents’ preparedness. Although the information was collected a short time after a disastrous earthquake event when overall levels of community awareness of the danger posed by earthquakes were likely to be high, the findings about the levels of a possible earthquake preparedness were not satisfactory. Possible implications for improving community earthquake preparedness are discussed.

Amaç: Bu çalışma hemşirelerin afet tehdidi için psikolojik hazırlık durumları, sosyal destek algıları ve etkileyen faktörleri belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Materyal ve Metod: Tanımlayıcı tipte olan çalışma xxx Hastanesi' nde 10 Temmuz – 10 Ağustos 2024 tarihleri arasında yapılmıştır. Örneklem 311 hemşireden oluşmuştur. Verilerin toplanmasında tanıtıcı bilgi formu, Afet Tehdidi için Psikolojik Hazırlık Ölçeği ve Çok Boyutlu Algılanan Sosyal Destek Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Çalışmada verileri analiz etmek için Independent simple t testi, Oneway analiz testi ve pearson korelasyon analizi uygulanmıştır. Bulgular: Çalışmaya katılan hemşirelerin Afet Tehdidi için Psikolojik Hazırlık Ölçeği puan ortalamaları 65.52 ± 9.72, dış durumsal çevre bilgisi ve yönetimi alt boyutu puan ortalamaları 27.89 ± 4.76, kişinin duygusal ve psikolojik tepkisinin yönetimi alt boyutu puan ortalamaları 28.03 ± 4.79, kişinin sosyal çevresinin yönetimi alt boyutu puan ortalamaları 9.59 ± 1.69’dur. Hemşirelerin Çok Boyutlu Algılanan Sosyal Destek Ölçeği Puan Ortalamaları 55.66 ± 21.67, sosyal destek ölçeği aile alt boyutu puan ortalamaları 18.35 ± 7.57, arkadaş alt boyutu puan ortalamaları 18.48 ± 7.38, özel bir insan alt boyutu puan ortalamaları 18.85 ±7.63’dür. Sonuç: Bu çalışmada hemşirelerin evde afet hazırlık planlarının olmasının, afet ile ilgili eğitim almalarının afet tehdidi için psikolojik hazırlık ölçeği ve çok boyutlu algılanan sosyal destek ölçeği puan ortalamalarını etkilediği saptanmıştır. Ayrıca medeni durumun ve çalışılan pozisyonun da çok boyutlu algılanan sosyal destek ölçeği puan ortalamalarını etkilediği görülmektedir. Hemşireler afetle mücadele konusunda düzenli aralıklarla eğitimler almalıdır. Çünkü bu eğitimlerin hemşirelerin afet durumunda üstlendikleri rol ve sorumluluklara yönelik hazırlıklara katkısı olacağı öngörülmektedir. Ayrıca afetle mücadele eğitimlerinin okullarda öğrencilere, bunun yanında yaşanılan her ortamda halka verilmesi sağlanmalı, afetle mücadele konusu temel eğitim müfredatına yerleştirilmelidir.
