Summary

Objective: This study examines the effect of multidimensional disaster training on disaster awareness and disaster intervention self-efficacy of pre-service nurses who experienced the effects of the earthquake centred in Kahramanmaraş. Since there is not enough disaster-related training in nursing curricula, it is thought that such trainings will improve the skills of nurses. The study aims to investigate whether this training increases students' knowledge and intervention competences towards disasters.

Methods: This research is a study with a quasi-experimental design. The study was conducted with 1st and 2nd year students who were studying at a university, Department of Nursing, and had not taken public health and disaster management courses. An intervention group and a control group were formed by applying tests measuring disaster awareness and disaster response self-efficacy to the students. Web-based multidimensional disaster training consisting of 10 sessions was given to the intervention group. After the training, both groups were retested and the changes in disaster awareness and response self-efficacy were evaluated. After that, the data was analyzed with statistical tests.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Education group (DBM/BMP)

A structured web-based training program, consisting of ten one-hour sessions, was delivered to students in the intervention group. To foster active engagement and reinforce learning outcomes, each session incorporated interactive, game-based activities through the Kahoot platform. The content of the training was developed in collaboration with a panel of 12 subject-matter experts, including specialists in emergency care, public health, internal medicine, surgery, and education. Additionally, the structure and thematic scope of the program were aligned with the emergency action guidelines of AFAD, Türkiye's official disaster management authority. The curriculum encompassed a comprehensive range of topics, including the classification of disasters, disaster awareness, risk assessment, use of personal protective equipment, triage procedures, post-disaster management, basic first aid practices, and the psychosocial dimensions of disaster response.
