This study aimed to evaluate the effect of earthquake preparedness training on the psychological resilience and earthquake preparedness levels of mothers with physically disabled children. The study was conducted at a special education and rehabilitation center in a province in eastern Turkey between January and April 2024, using a pre-test/post-test control group experimental design. A total of 78 mothers participated, with 39 randomly assigned to the experimental group and 39 to the control group. The experimental group received earthquake preparedness training. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 26. It was determined that 38.5% of the mothers in the experimental group were between 32-39 years of age, equal numbers of primary (35.9%) and secondary (35.9%) school graduates, 84.6% had nuclear families and 89.7% lived in urban areas. In the control group, 38.5% of the mothers were between 25-31 years of age, 33.3% were primary school graduates, 79.5% had nuclear families and 97.4% lived in urban areas. The experimental and control groups were similar in terms of baseline characteristics. Before the training, Adult Psychological Resilience Scale (APRS) scores were comparable between groups. After the training, the experimental group showed a significant increase in psychological resilience compared to the control group (p < .05). Similarly, Disaster Preparedness Scale (DPS) scores were comparable before the training, but the experimental group showed a significant increase in earthquake preparedness after the training (p < .05). The training enhanced both psychological resilience and earthquake preparedness in mothers, increasing their knowledge and awareness about earthquakes. Developing earthquake preparedness training and materials specifically for families with physically disabled children will contribute to the safety and well-being of both families and their children.
本研究旨在评估地震防备培训对残疾儿童母亲心理复原力和地震防备水平的影响。该研究于2024年1月至4月在土耳其东部某省的一个特殊教育和康复中心进行，采用前测/后测对照组实验设计。共有78名母亲参与，其中39名被随机分配到实验组，39名被分配到对照组。实验组接受了地震防备培训。使用SPSS 26版对数据进行分析。结果显示，实验组中38.5%的母亲年龄在32 - 39岁之间，小学毕业生（35.9%）和中学毕业生人数相等（35.9%），84.6%有核心家庭，89.7%居住在城市地区。在对照组中，38.5%的母亲年龄在25 - 31岁之间，33.3%是小学毕业生，79.5%有核心家庭，97.4%居住在城市地区。实验组和对照组在基线特征方面相似。培训前，两组之间的成人心理复原力量表（APRS）得分相当。培训后，与对照组相比，实验组的心理复原力显著提高（p < 0.05）。同样，灾害防备量表（DPS）得分在培训前相当，但实验组在培训后地震防备能力显著提高（p < 0.05）。该培训增强了母亲们的心理复原力和地震防备能力，提高了她们对地震的认识和意识。专门为残疾儿童家庭开发地震防备培训和材料将有助于家庭及其子女的安全和福祉。
