Bu çalışmanın amacı afetlerde savunmasız bir grup olan yaşlı bireylerin kaygı düzeylerinin ve bazı sosyodemografik özelliklerinin afet okuryazarlıkları üzerine etkisini ölçmektir. Bu çalışma kesitsel tipte bir araştırmadır. Çalışmanın evreni İzmir ili Buca ilçesinde yer alan İzmir Büyükşehir Belediyesi Sosyal Yaşam Kampüsü’nde 7 Mart – 2 Mayıs 2022 tarihleri arasında konaklayan huzurevi sakinleridir. Çalışma grubu olarak 210 kişiye ulaşıldı. Çalışmada oluşturulan anket formunda katılımcıların bazı sosyodemografik özellikleri ve afetlerle ilgili bilgileri sorgulandı, Durumluk-Sürekli Kaygı Ölçeği, Afet Okuryazarlığı Ölçeği (AFOYÖ) kullanıldı. Toplam AFOYÖ puanının kategorilere ayrılmasıyla Multinominal Lojistik Regresyon Analizi modeli kuruldu. Ortalama AFOYÖ puanı 27,9±9,41 ile yetersiz düzeyde bulundu. Multinominal regresyon analiz sonuçlarına göre; sürekli kaygı durumu yüksekliği (OR: 1,058 (95% GA: 1,010-1,111)) "yetersiz" afet okuryazarlık düzeyi için risk faktörleri bulundu (p<0,05). Afet okuryazarlığı afetlerin risklerinden ve tehlikelerinden korunmada çok önemli bir kavramdır. Başarılı bir afet yönetimi sağlamak için toplumdaki tüm kırılganlıklar tespit edilerek okuryazarlık düzeyi arttırılmalıdır.

March May 7 – 2, 2022 residents of the nursing home, located in Izmir Metropolitan Municipality Social Life Campus in Buca district of Izmir province, are the Decedents of the study. As a working group, 210 people were reached. In the questionnaire form created in the study, some sociodemographic characteristics of the participants and their knowledge about disasters were questioned, the State-Continuous Anxiety Scale, Disaster Literacy Scale (DLS) were used. Multinominal Logistic Regression Analysis model was established with categorized of DLS's total score. The mean score of the DLS was insufficient with a score of 27.9±9.41. According to the results of multinomial regression analysis, high trait anxiety state (OR: 1,058 (95% CI: 1,010-1,111)) were found to be risk factors for "insufficient" disaster literacy level (p<0.05). Disaster literacy is a very important concept in protecting against the risks and dangers of disasters. In order to achieve a successful disaster management, all vulnerabilities in the society should be identified and the level of literacy should be increased.
