The Effect of Health Belief Model-Based Disaster Education for Parents of Children With Special Needs on General Disaster Preparedness Beliefs and Disaster Preparedness Levels
Sponsor: Ataturk University
Summary
This study aims to evaluate the effect of a Health Belief Model (HBM)-based disaster education program on general disaster preparedness beliefs and disaster preparedness levels among parents of children with special needs. Children with special healthcare and developmental needs are particularly vulnerable during disasters, and parental readiness plays a critical role in mitigating risks. The study is designed as a quasi-experimental (or randomized controlled) interventional trial with an intervention and a control group to determine whether structured, model-based training improves preparedness behaviors and disaster beliefs among parents.
