Özet:

 In this study, the relationship between individual disaster resilience, fear of earthquakes, and psychological resilience of health technician candidates who will work in disasters and the factors associated with them were examined. The data collected from 882 health technician candidates were analysed. Frequency analyses were performed to assess the data structure and some descriptive analyses. We analyzed the relationship between scales and variables with Pearson Correlation test. Multiple regression analysis Enter model was conducted to examine the effects of psychological and individual disaster resilience on earthquake fear. The independent samples t-test was used to analyse the difference between socio-demographic variables and the scales, and the One Way ANOVA test was used to analyse the difference between the type of disaster experienced and the scales. Because of the research, it was found that there was a significant positive relationship between individuals psychological resilience and disaster resilience and a significant negative relationship between individuals fear of earthquakes. It was found that the mean scores of the scale were close to the middle level; women had higher disaster resilience and more fear of earthquakes; participants who experienced earthquakes had higher individual disaster resilience; and senior students had higher individual disaster resilience and psychological resilience. To increase the individual disaster resistance of health technician candidates, decrease their fear of earthquakes, and increase their psychological resilience, it is recommended to increase the number of disaster-related courses in their curricula, increase disaster drills in cooperation with public institutions and organisations, and benefit from social support programmes.

 Bu çalışmada, afetlerde görev yapacak olan sağlık teknikeri adaylarının, bireysel afet direnci, deprem korkusu ve psikolojik sağlamlık durumları arasındaki ilişki ile ilişkili olduğu faktörler incelendi. Araştırmada 882 sağlık teknikeri adayından toplanan veriler analiz edildi. Veri yapısını değerlendirmek ve bazı tanımlayıcı analizler için frekans analizleri yapıldı. Ölçekler ile değişkenler arasındaki ilişki Pearson Korelasyon testi ile analiz edildi. Psikolojik sağlamlık ve bireysel afet direncinin deprem korkusuna etkisini incelemek için çoklu regresyon analizi Enter modeli yapıldı. Sosyodemografik değişkenler ile ölçekler arasındaki farkı incelemek için bağımsız grupta t-testi, deneyimlenen afet türü ile ölçekler arasındaki fark analizi için One Way ANOVA testi kullanıldı. Araştırma sonucunda bireylerin psikolojik sağlamlıkları ile bireysel afet direnç dirençleri arasında pozitif yönde, deprem korkusu ile arasında negatif yönde anlamlı bir ilişki olduğu saptandı. Ölçek puan ortalamalarının orta düzeye yakın olduğu; kadınların afet direncinin daha yüksek ve deprem korkusunun daha fazla olduğu; deprem deneyimleyen katılımcıların bireysel afet direncinin daha yüksek olduğu; son sınıf öğrencilerinin bireysel afet direncinin ve psikolojik sağlamlıklarının daha yüksek olduğu saptandı. Sağlık teknikeri adaylarının bireysel afet dirençlerinin artması, deprem korkularının azalması ve psikolojik sağlamlıklarının yüksek olması için müfredatlarında afetler ile ilgili derslerin çoğaltılması, kamu kurum ve kuruluşları ile ortaklaşa afet tatbikatların artırılması, sosyal destek programlarından yararlanması önerilmektedir.
