This study explored the factors influencing disaster response competency, that is, demographic and disaster-related characteristics, personal disaster (household and workplace) preparedness, disaster risk perception, and self-efficacy in handling disasters among emergency medical technicians in South Korea.
The study follows a descriptive, cross-sectional design and uses a self-reported questionnaire. Emergency medical technicians, amounting to 1,020 in all, currently working in firefighting organizations from four South Korean cities (Busan, Daegu, Daejeon, and Ulsan) participated in the study.
Disaster risk perception, self-efficacy for disaster, participation experience in disaster education/training, and personal disaster (household and workplace) preparedness predicted the disaster response competency of emergency medical technicians in South Korea.
There is a need for an antidisaster program to enhance the disaster risk perception, self-efficacy, personal disaster (household and workplace) preparedness, and the disaster education/training participation rate toward enhancing disaster response competency of emergency medical technicians in South Korea.
本研究探讨了影响灾难应对能力的因素,即人口统计学和与灾难相关的特征、个人灾难(家庭和工作场所)准备情况、灾难风险感知以及在韩国急救技术员处理灾难时的自我效能感。
本研究采用描述性、横断面设计,并使用自我报告问卷。共有来自韩国四个城市(釜山、大邱、大田和蔚山)的消防组织中的 1020 名急救技术员参与了这项研究。
灾难风险感知、灾难自我效能感、参与灾难教育/培训的经验以及个人灾难(家庭和工作场所)准备情况预测了韩国急救技术员的灾难应对能力。
有必要开展一项抗灾计划,以提高灾难风险感知、自我效能感、个人灾难(家庭和工作场所)准备情况以及灾难教育/培训的参与率,从而提高韩国急救技术员的灾难应对能力。
