This study intends to clarify the effect of regional disaster preparedness education on efforts to prevent the isolation of older people in the event of a disaster.
This quasi-experimental study involved participants aged 65 and above. The intervention group (n = 35) and the comparison group (n = 61) were compared in the first survey and another one month later.
The survey items assessed aspects such as awareness of and actions related to isolation preparedness, and awareness of support needed by others in the event of a disaster. The results were compared between the two groups.
The educational program was based on the transtheoretical model of health behavior change and focused on preventing isolation in the event of a disaster, by connecting vulnerable people with their neighbors. Puppet shows and group work were used as part of the program.
A month after the program implementation, the intervention group had significantly higher awareness of and actions related to isolation preparedness than the comparison group.
Disaster preparedness education invokes a responsibility toward the prevention of isolation in the disaster and perceives it as a community issue and encourages individuals to support others.
本研究旨在阐明区域备灾教育对在灾难发生时防止老年人被孤立所做努力的影响。
本准实验研究的参与者年龄在65岁及以上。在首次调查以及一个月后的另一次调查中，对干预组（n = 35）和对照组（n = 61）进行了比较。
调查项目评估了诸如孤立防范意识及相关行动，以及灾难发生时对他人所需支持的意识等方面。对两组结果进行了比较。
教育项目基于健康行为改变的跨理论模型，通过将弱势群体与邻居联系起来，着重于预防灾难发生时的孤立情况。木偶戏和小组活动被用作该项目的一部分。
项目实施一个月后，干预组在孤立防范意识及相关行动方面显著高于对照组。
备灾教育唤起了预防灾难中孤立情况的责任感，并将其视为一个社区问题，鼓励个人支持他人。
