Disasters will always exist in human life. Therefore, societies must learn to live with disasters. This research was carried out to determine the disaster preparedness levels of nursing students after the earthquake of the century in Turkey. The descriptive study was conducted with 1067 students studying at nursing faculties in Turkey between April and May 2023. Data was collected via Google Forms using the "Disaster Preparedness Scale". The data obtained from the research were analyzed using descriptive tests in the SPSS 21 package program. Of the students participating in the research, 66.3% are women and 25% are 4th-grade students. The general total "Disaster Preparedness Scale" mean score of the students was 27.6. The knowledge of the students in the sub-dimensions of disaster physical protection, planning, and warning systems is insufficient. Our research results show that even after the earthquake of the century in our country, the expected awareness of the students about the importance of being prepared for disasters has not developed. New research and innovative educational interventions are needed to improve students' disaster preparedness.
灾难总是存在于人类生活中。因此，社会必须学会与灾难共存。这项研究旨在确定土耳其世纪地震后护理学生的灾难准备水平。这是一项描述性研究，于 2023 年 4 月至 5 月期间在土耳其的护理学院对 1067 名学生进行了调查。通过谷歌表格使用“灾难准备量表”收集数据。研究中获得的数据在 SPSS 21 程序包的描述性测试中进行了分析。在参与研究的学生中，66.3%是女性，25%是四年级学生。学生的总体“灾难准备量表”平均得分为 27.6。学生在灾难物理保护、规划和预警系统等子维度的知识不足。我们的研究结果表明，即使在我国发生世纪地震之后，学生对灾难准备重要性的预期意识也没有得到发展。需要新的研究和创新的教育干预措施来提高学生的灾难准备水平。
