Detailed Description
Natural disasters, which cause a large number of casualties, increase the workload and lead to disability of individuals, have always been an important public health problem. Natural disasters are unpredictable and often sudden events that cause great destruction and loss of life and severe psychological symptoms for survivors. Disaster preparedness refers to all previous action plans and efforts to establish a disaster response system before a disaster occurs. To be prepared, nurses need to have sufficient knowledge and skills to minimise the negative effects of a disaster, including trauma, infectious diseases, physical and psychological distress. However, there is evidence that most nurses do not feel adequately prepared for a disaster in the community. In a study in which the general knowledge levels of nurses in developing countries about disaster preparedness were evaluated, the knowledge and skills of nurses especially in the Asia-Pacific Region about disasters were found to be inadequate. In another study, it was reported that Iranian nurses had inadequate knowledge about disaster preparedness.
Despite the increasing number of disasters all over the world and the warnings of international nursing organisations and the World Health Organisation about the preparedness of nurses for disasters, it is seen that the training of nurses for disasters is inadequate and studies on this subject are limited.

Intervention / Treatment |
|---|---|

Experimental: Education group
The forms used in the study were collected by the researcher through face-to-face interviews in seminar halls in schools.
Firstly, the students in the experimental group will be trained on disaster and disaster response.
The trainings were organised as a total of four sessions with a two-week interval of twenty minutes in each session.
Personal Information Form and Disaster Intervention Self-Efficacy Scale were filled as pre-test in the seminar halls of the schools under the supervision of the researcher.

No Intervention: Control group
Personal Information Form and Disaster Response Self-Efficacy Scale will be applied to the students in the control group as a pre-test.
No training will be given to the control group.
In the last stage of the research, the Disaster Response Self-Efficacy Scale will be applied to the control group as a post-test and the data collection process will be terminated.
After the last test was applied to the groups, training materials will be given to the people who demanded from the control group.

Time Frame |
|---|---|---|

Disaster response self-efficacy scale:
Time Frame: 3 month
|
The scale is a 5-point Likert type and consists of a total of 19 items and 3 sub-dimensions (On-site rescue competence, Disaster psychological nursing competence, Nature of the role undertaken in disaster and adaptation competence).
The scale is answered as having no self-confidence (1 point), basically no self-confidence (2 points), some self-confidence (3 points), basically self-confident (4 points) and full self-confidence (5 points).
The scale score is calculated by summing the answers to the questions.
A high score from the scale indicates high disaster response self-efficacy.
In the Turkish validity and reliability study of the scale, the Cronbach alpha coefficient was found to be 0.96.
