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

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.

Disaster Nursing Education in Family Health Centers

This study examines the effect of a training program based on the Jennings Disaster Nursing Management Model on disaster preparedness perception, self-efficacy, and resilience among nurses working in family health centers in Hatay, Turkey. Participants will be randomly assigned to either an intervention group, which will receive a 14-week structured training program, or a control group, which will not receive the training during the study period. Preparedness perception, self-efficacy, and resilience will be measured before and after the intervention using standardized questionnaires. The study aims to determine whether this training improves nurses' readiness to respond to disasters in primary health care settings.

The Effect of Education Given to Women on General Disaster Preparedness Belief Level and Disaster Literacy

It is aimed to determine the effect of the ADDIE Model-based training given to women on the level of disaster awareness and disaster literacy and to present suggestions for situations where deficiencies are observed based on the findings obtained.

The Effect of Basic Disaster Awareness Education on Disaster Literacy and AnxietyLevels in Adolescents

This study aimed to determine the effect of basic disaster awareness education on adolescents' disaster literacy and earthquake anxiety levels. A pre-test post-test randomized controlled experimental study was conducted at two middle schools in Erzincan between April-June 2026. A total of 128 adolescent students aged 10-14 (64 intervention, 64 control) were included. Basic disaster awareness education was applied to the intervention group in 3 weekly sessions of approximately 40 minutes each. Data were collected using the Personal Information Form, the Disaster Literacy Scale for Adolescents (AYAOÖ, range: 29-145, higher = better literacy), and the Earthquake Anxiety Scale (DKÖ, range: 12-60, higher = greater anxiety).

Promoting Interventions for Climate Change to Upscale Resilience in District Badin

The PICCTURE trial is a cluster randomized controlled study which will be conducted in District Badin, Pakistan, to evaluate the effectiveness of community-based interventions in improving resilience to climate-related hazards. The study compares community-led adaptation and resilience strategies and community interventions integrated with primary healthcare engagement against a control group. The objective is to determine whether these approaches improve household-level resilience, adaptive capacity, and health-related outcomes in a coastal, climate-vulnerable population.
