Overview
Objective: Continuous education and training in disaster preparedness is critically important for first aid and emergency program students, who will be the future healthcare professionals, especially in the pre-hospital setting. This training aims to improve their knowledge and practices and ensure their competence in preparing for and managing potential disasters or risks. Therefore, this study aims to examine the effect of a disaster education program, delivered to first aid and emergency program students using a peer-supported teaching method, on disaster preparedness beliefs and disaster attitudes.
Detailed description
The research will be conducted using a pre-test-post-test single-group quasi-experimental design. The study will be conducted with second-year students (n=75) studying in the First Aid and Emergency Program at Eğirdir Health Services Vocational School. Data for the research will be collected twice, before and after the training, using a "Descriptive Information Form," a "General Disaster Preparedness Belief Scale," and a "Disaster Attitude Scale" via face-to-face interviews. The intervention will include a training program consisting of four sessions for the students. The data will be analyzed using parametric/non-parametric tests to determine whether they conform to a normal distribution.
