The Evaluation of the Disaster Knowledge Level of Emergency Department Workers in Istanbul European Side Public Hospitals

Öz

Objective: Within the scope of medical services provided during disasters, the aim is to reduce fatalities as much as possible. Therefore, it is crucial to assess, through pre-disaster training for volunteers currently involved or with high potential for involvement, their willingness to volunteer in disaster situations and their sense of preparedness for emergencies. This study investigates the disaster awareness level, perceived preparedness for disaster events, thoughts on the safety of their living environments against disasters, reasons for willingness or unwillingness to volunteer in disasters, and the level of disaster preparedness among healthcare personnel working in emergency medicine clinics of public hospitals on the European side of Istanbul, who are either currently involved or have high potential for involvement in disasters. Methods: The study included personnel working in emergency medicine clinics of public hospitals affiliated with the Istanbul European Side Public Hospitals Association. Personnel working in the emergency medicine clinics of these hospitals were asked to voluntarily answer the questionnaire provided in Appendix 1. The data obtained were recorded in an Excel file. Results: Of the 338 participants, 196 (58%) were male and 142 (42%) were female, with a mean age of 29.49 ± 8.11 years. 185 participants (54.7%) were single. Participants informed about the hospital disaster plan had greater belief that the hospital's disaster response plan administrators could report to their posts very quickly. Those who had previously lost a close relative had received disaster training at a higher rate. It was found that those who had received training before had a stronger belief in their own adequacy. Conclusion: Recent pre-disaster training programs have shown an increase in the willingness to volunteer during disasters and the sense of preparedness for emergencies. Our study predicts that the level of disaster awareness and preparedness is directly proportional to the willingness to volunteer during disasters. bunu tıbbı dılde turlceye cevır
