“…In Turkey, 15 disasters have been recorded in 2020, where 76,995 people were affected, 3022 people were injured, and 349 people died. 14 It is a well-known fact that extraordinary situations caused by disasters cannot be prevented or controlled. Therefore, it is vital that various groups, including health-care professionals and community organizations, are prepared for disasters in an effective fight against disasters.…”

Objective: In Turkey, which is a land of disasters, it is vital for nurses to be prepared before a disaster, and to exhibit an effective attitude and behavior during it. Having a large number of casualties during a disaster may cause inadequacies in receiving basic health care in the hospital. Methods: This study was conducted in a descriptive and cross-sectional style to determine the disaster preparedness and preparedness perceptions of nurses. Data were collected with the Personal Information Form and Nurses’ Perception of Disaster Preparedness Scale (NPDPS). Results: Nurses’ disaster experience, drill experience, and perusal of the disaster plan positively affected the perception of disaster. The disaster preparedness of the institution positively affected the perception of disaster preparation. A significant difference was determined between the requests for information regarding disaster education and NPDPS. A statistically significant relationship was found between terrorist attacks, earthquake exposure, and the total scale score of NPDPS. Conclusions: Consequently, nurses and health institutions, whose responsibilities become graver in disasters, have duties such as providing treatment and medical support. Therefore, it was suggested that disaster nursing and disaster management should have been included in the in-service training of nurses.

“…Disasters are defined as events that create a need for assistance at a national or international level, causing significant damage, destruction, and loss of life, typically occurring suddenly and unexpectedly (Şimşek and Gündüz 2021). The importance of mapping and creating safe areas for reducing the adverse effects of disasters is emphasised in studies (Karpouza et al 2021(Karpouza et al , 2023.…”

Health professionals have always had essential duties in earthquake events experienced from the past to the present. Possible earthquake expectations make sustainable earthquake awareness and attitudes of students, who are future healthcare professionals, influential. Therefore, this study aims to determine the relationship between the earthquake knowledge level of university students and their sustainable earthquake awareness levels. A descriptive-cross-sectional study was conducted in April 2023 with 546 students in the School of Health Services. Data were collected using the Student Information Form, Earthquake Knowledge Level Scale, and Sustainable Earthquake Awareness Scale. Percentage means standard deviations, Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal-Wallis analysis, Bonferroni correction, Tamhane’s T2 test, and Spearman correlation analysis were used for data evaluation. Before answering the study questions, informed consent was obtained from the students after obtaining ethical committee approval. Among the participants, 82.1% were female, with a mean age of 20.78 ± 2.17. 55.7% of the students had experienced an earthquake, 19.2% had lost a loved one in an earthquake, and 5.5% had participated in earthquake response efforts. Students’ earthquake knowledge level was found to be above the midpoint, while sustainable earthquake awareness was found to be below the midpoint. The level of earthquake knowledge, knowledge of the distribution of earthquake zones and knowledge of earthquake effects were higher in those who took part in the earthquake. In males, knowledge of the distribution of earthquake zones was significantly higher. Knowledge of earthquake effects was significantly higher in those who experienced an earthquake and those who lost a relative in an earthquake. A positively moderate and significant correlation was found between earthquake knowledge level and sustainable earthquake awareness. The earthquake knowledge level of the students is medium, while their sustainable earthquake awareness needs to be higher. As the level of earthquake knowledge increases, sustainable earthquake awareness rises. The effect of earthquake experience on knowledge and awareness shows that applied training will contribute to sustainable earthquake awareness in society.

The adverse impact of a disaster is not only determined by its magnitude but also by the adaptability and mechanisms of individuals in the face of the disaster.…”

Purpose The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between the earthquake knowledge level of university students and their sustainable earthquake awareness levels. Materials and Methods A descriptive-cross-sectional study was conducted in April 2023 with 546 students enrolled in the School of Health Services. Data were collected using the Student Information Form, Earthquake Knowledge Level Scale, and Sustainable Earthquake Awareness Scale. Percentages, means, standard deviations, Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal-Wallis analysis, Bonferroni correction, Tamhane's T2 test, and Spearman correlation analysis were used for data evaluation. Prior to answering the study questions, informed consent was obtained from the students after obtaining ethical committee approval. Findings Among the participants, 82.1% were female, with a mean age of 20.78±2.17. 55.7% of the students had experienced an earthquake, 19.2% had lost a loved one in an earthquake, and 5.5% had participated in earthquake response efforts. The mean score on the Earthquake Knowledge Level scale was found to be 69.13±13.79, and the mean score on the Sustainable Earthquake Awareness scale was 64.65±14.89. The total score on the earthquake knowledge level scale was significantly higher among those who had participated in earthquake response efforts (p= .030). The knowledge score regarding the distribution of earthquake-prone regions was significantly higher among males and those who had participated in earthquake response efforts (p= .034, p= .002). The sub-dimension of knowledge about the effects of earthquakes was significantly higher among those who had experienced an earthquake, lost a loved one in an earthquake, and participated in earthquake response efforts (p= .000, p= .000, p= .001). There was no significant difference in the total and sub-dimension scores of the sustainable earthquake awareness scale among the independent variables. A positively moderate and significant correlation was found between earthquake knowledge level and sustainable earthquake awareness (r=.499, p<.001). Conclusion:It was observed that the earthquake knowledge level of students was at a moderate level, while the sustainable earthquake awareness was below the moderate level. It can be stated that the earthquake knowledge level has an influence on earthquake awareness.
