Individuals with Special Needs in the Earthquake Process: A Review Study

Öz

In this study, it was aimed to examine in depth the studies on individuals with special needs during the earthquake process. In this research, which was carried out using document analysis, one of the qualitative research methods, Google Scholar, ERIC, Web of Science, Scopus, ProQuest and Dergi Park databases were searched. As a result of the search, 46 studies that met the criteria were analysed. The studies were analysed according to the categories of year of publication, purpose of the study, disability groups addressed in the studies, participant characteristics, research method, data collection tool, data analysis technique and findings. As a result, the studies analysed within the scope of the research have increased over the years and these studies often focused on emergency interventions. In most of the studies, disability groups were stated as individuals with special needs. In addition, it was observed that physical disability was also a frequently encountered disability group in the studies. In order to reduce the negative effects of natural disasters such as earthquakes on individuals with special needs, strategies that prepare individuals for natural disasters are very important. The examination of emergency interventions for individuals with special needs during the earthquake process in many studies examined supports this idea.

Deprem Sürecinde Özel Gereksinimli Bireyler: Bir Derleme Çalışması

Öz

Bu araştırmada, deprem sürecinde özel gereksinimli bireyleri konu alan çalışmaların derinlemesine incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden doküman analizi kullanılarak gerçekleştirilmiş olan bu araştırmada Google Akademik (Google Scholar), ERIC, Web of Science, Scopus, ProQuest ve Dergi Park veri tabanlarında tarama yapılmıştır. Yapılan tarama sonucunda ölçütleri karşılayan 46 çalışma incelenmiştir. Çalışmalar yayımlanma yılı, çalışmanın amacı, çalışmalarda ele alınan yetersizlik grupları, katılımcı özellikleri, araştırma yöntemi, veri toplama aracı, veri analiz tekniği ve bulgular kategorilerine göre analiz edilmiştir. Sonuç olarak, araştırma kapsamında incelenen çalışmalar yıllar içinde artmış ve bu çalışmalar sıklıkla acil durum müdahalelerine odaklanmıştır. Çalışmaların çoğunda engel grupları özel gereksinimli bireyler olarak belirtilmiştir. Ayrıca çalışmalarda bedensel yetersizliğin de sıklıkla karşılaşılan bir engel grubu olduğu görülmüştür. Deprem gibi doğal afetlerin özel gereksinimli bireyler üzerinde oluşturduğu olumsuz etkilerin azaltılması için bireyleri doğal afetlere hazırlayan stratejiler oldukça önemlidir. İncelenen birçok çalışmada, deprem sürecinde özel gereksinimli bireylere yönelik acil durum müdahalelerinin incelenmesi de bu düşünceyi destekler niteliktedir.
