This study was conducted to examine the relationship between disaster literacy and disaster preparedness of the community.
This cross-sectional study was conducted on adult participants after a major earthquake that occurred in Türkiye on February 6, 2023 ( = 414). Convenience sample was used in sample selection. Data collection instruments are the Disaster Literacy Scale-DLS and Disaster Preparedness Scale-DPS. Descriptive statistics, independent samples test, correlation, and multiple linear regression analysis were used to analyze the data.
Participants' DLS score was 33.08 ± 6.72 (limited disaster literacy) and DPS score was 31.89 ± 5.15 (moderate level). A positive correlation was found between DLS and DPS scores ( = 0.242; = 0.000). Disaster literacy scores are higher for those with higher education levels, those who have taken disaster-related training/courses, those who have a disaster plan at home, and those who have a disaster kit ( 0.05). In community, increasing disaster literacy, having a disaster kit, insuring the house, and making family plans against disasters positively affect disaster preparedness.
The disaster literacy level of the participants is limited, and the disaster preparedness level is moderate. To increase the disaster literacy levels of individuals, it is recommended that public health nurses strengthen public education and disseminate disaster training in community.
本研究旨在探讨社区灾害素养与灾害准备之间的关系。
本横断面研究于2023年2月6日土耳其发生大地震后对成年参与者进行（n = 414）。样本选择采用便利抽样。数据收集工具为灾害素养量表（DLS）和灾害准备量表（DPS）。采用描述性统计、独立样本t检验、相关性分析和多元线性回归分析对数据进行分析。
参与者的DLS得分为33.08±6.72（灾害素养有限），DPS得分为31.89±5.15（中等水平）。DLS和DPS得分之间存在正相关（r = 0.242；p = 0.000）。受过高等教育、参加过灾害相关培训/课程、家中有灾害计划以及有应急包的人灾害素养得分更高（p < 0.05）。在社区中，提高灾害素养、拥有应急包、为房屋投保以及制定家庭防灾计划对灾害准备有积极影响。
参与者的灾害素养水平有限，灾害准备水平中等。为提高个体的灾害素养水平，建议公共卫生护士加强社区公众教育并传播灾害培训。
