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 aim of this study was to examine the disaster preparedness perceptions and opinions of Secondary School Students who experienced the most recent major earthquake in Elazığ and Kahramanmaraş in Türkiye. The study population consisted of Secondary School Students in Elazığ and Kahramanmaraş during the 2022-2023 academic year. The sample included 548 participants in the quantitative part selected through non-probabilistic convenient sampling and 40 participants in the qualitative part selected using a criterion sampling method. In this study, a convergent parallel design, a mixed research method, was employed. The "Disaster Preparedness Scale" was used to collect quantitative data. The reliability of the scale was assessed using the Cronbach’s Alpha, which was found to be .82. Qualitative data were collected through a semi-structured interview form developed by the researchers. The results indicated that the disaster preparedness perceptions of the participants were at a moderate level. There was no significant difference in the disaster preparedness perceptions among participants based on gender, while significant differences were identified based on city (in favor of students in Elazığ), grade, maternal education level, and paternal education level. Qualitative findings suggested that participants perceived the misinformation in the media after disasters as a significant problem. They also mentioned preparing disaster kits as a precaution after disasters, receiving fire and earthquake-related training at their schools, but feeling that these trainings did not contribute significantly to their preparedness. Participants emphasized the need for disaster awareness education and call for realistic and effective training exercises.
