ÖZ
Giriş ve Amaç: Dünya çapında afet sıklığının ve şiddetinin artması, hemşirelerin afetlere hazırlıklı olmalarını ve müdahale edebilme kapasitelerinin yeterli olmasını gerektirmektedir. Bu çalışmada, hemşirelik öğrencilerinin bazı özellikleri ve afete müdahale öz yeterlilikleri ile afet tehdidine karşı psikolojik hazırlıkları arasındaki ilişkiyi belirlemeyi amaçlandı.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Kesitsel tipte yapılan bu çalışma Ankara’da bulunan bir üniversitenin hemşirelik fakültesinde öğrenim gören 286 öğrenci ile Nisan Haziran 2025 tarihleri arasında yürütüldü. Veri toplama formunda, katılımcıların sosyodemografik özellikleri ile afet deneyimleri, Afete Müdahale Öz Yeterlik Ölçeği ve Afet Tehdidine Karşı Psikolojik Hazırlık Ölçeği yer aldı. Çalışmada, Çoklu Regresyon Analizi yapıldı.
Bulgular: Katılımcıların %46.5’i daha önce bir afete maruz kaldığını, %11.5’i afet sonucu bir yakınını kaybettiğini bildirdi. Afete Müdahale Öz Yeterlik Ölçeği puan ortalaması 64.33 ± 14.04, Afet Tehdidine Karşı Psikolojik Hazırlık Ölçeği puan ortalaması 63.42 ± 8.67 idi. Regresyon analizinde kurulan modelde ele alınan bağımsız değişkenler, psikolojik hazırlık değişkeninin %48’ini açıkladı (F = 26.41, p < .001, R² = 0.48). Sınıf düzeyi, afetlerde koruyucu davranışları uygulayabilme özdeğerlendirmesi, afet durumlarında psikolojik hazırlıklı olma durumu özdeğerlendirmesi ve Afete Müdahale Öz Yeterlik Ölçeği puanı ile Afet Tehdidine Karşı Psikolojik Hazırlık Ölçeği puanı arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı ilişkiler saptandı.
Sonuç: Hemşirelik eğitim programları, öğrencilerin afetlere yönelik müdahale özyeterliliğini destekleyen ve psikolojik hazırlığı arttıran çok yönlü eğitim stratejileriyle güçlendirilmesi önerilmektedir.

The relationship between nursing students' disaster response self-efficacy and psychological preparedness for disaster threat: A cross-sectional study

Öz

ABSTRACT
Introduction and Objective: The increasing frequency and severity of disasters worldwide necessitate that nurses be adequately prepared for and capable of responding to disasters. This study aimed to examine the relationship between certain characteristics of nursing students, their disaster response self-efficacy, and their psychological preparedness for disaster threats.
Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted between April and June 2025 with 286 students enrolled in the Faculty of Nursing at a university located in Ankara. The data collection form included participants’ characteristics and disaster-related experiences, the Disaster Response Self-Efficacy Scale, and the Psychological Preparedness for Disaster Threat Scale. Multiple regression analysis was performed in the study.
Results: Among the participants, 46.5% reported having previously experienced a disaster, and 11.5% had lost a relative due to a disaster. The mean score on the Disaster Response Self-Efficacy Scale was 64.33 ± 14.04, while the mean score on the Psychological Preparedness for Disaster Threat Scale was 63.42 ± 8.67. The multiple regression model revealed that the independent variables explained 48% of the variance in psychological preparedness for disaster threat (F = 26.41, p = 0 .001, R² = 0.48). Statistically significant relationships were found between Psychological Preparedness for Disaster Threat and grade level, self-assessment in implementing protective behaviors during disasters, self-assessment in being psychologically prepared for disasters, and the total score on the Disaster Response Self-Efficacy.
Conclusion: Nursing education programs are strengthened with multifaceted training strategies that enhance students’ disaster response self-efficacy and improve their psychological preparedness, is recommended.
