OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to examine the effect of volunteers' health behaviors and disaster preparedness on disaster attitudes.
METHODS: The sample comprised 378 volunteers aged 18 to 30 who were affiliated with the largest volunteer network in a non-governmental organization in Turkey. In the study, data were collected with Descriptive Information Form, the Disaster Preparedness Scale, and the Disaster Attitude Scale.
RESULTS: The mean total score of the participants in the Disaster Attitude Scale was 3.06 ± 0.73 (1-5). The mean total scale score of the participants in the Disaster Preparedness Scale was 33.21 ± 8.02 (13-54). Notably, factors such as using alcohol, the status of general health checkups status, and scores on the physical protection and assistance subscales the Disaster Preparedness Scale were significantly associated with the Disaster Attitude Scale total score (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONS: In this study, regular general health check-ups, alcohol use in general, and physical protection and assistance sub-scales are critical determinants of volunteers' attitudes toward disasters. The disaster volunteers, health professionals particularly nurses, should develop training programs to enhance volunteers' disaster attitudes focusing on promoting disaster preparedness and positive health behaviors in both governmental and non-governmental organizations.
