Özet:

 This descriptive study aimed to determine the disaster preparedness and perceptions of the personnel in private medical centres in the Thrace region from May to July 2024, with a sample size of 205 participants. Data were collected using Demographic Data Form and Disaster Preparedness Perception Scale. Parametric test techniques were applied using the SPSS 26.0 program. Among participants, 36.6 were aged 35 to 44 years, with 30.2 being high school graduates and 30.7 holding an associate degree. The roles included 31.7 paramedics and 32.7 emergency medical technicians. 125 participants 61.0, associated disasters with events like earthquakes and floods. Additionally, 141 participants 68.8 reported receiving disaster preparedness training, with 44 receiving theoretical training only and 56 engaging in both theoretical and practical training. 52 participants 25.4 had previously participated in a drill, 135 65.9 believed their workplaces were somewhat prepared for a disaster. Significant differences were noted in the scale and preparation and intervention phases based on disaster training and drill participation p.05. The study concluded that personnel who received disaster training and participated in drills scored higher in both disaster preparation and intervention phases, underscoring the need for enhanced and more frequent training initiatives.

 Çalışmada ayaktan teşhis ve tedavi yapan özel tıp merkezlerindeki personelin afete hazır olma durumlarının, hazırlık algı düzeylerinin belirlenmesi ve bazı değişkenler açısından incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Tanımlayıcı nitelikte olan bu araştırma, 2024 Mayıs-2024 Temmuz tarihleri arasında Trakya bölgesi özel tıp merkezlerinde çalışan personel üzerinde gerçekleştirilmiştir n205. Çalışmada, evrenin tamamı örneklem alınmış ve çalışmaya katılım göstermeyi kabul eden 205 personel katılmıştır. Veriler 16 soruluk Demografik Veri Formu ve 20 maddelik Afete Hazırlık Algısı Ölçeği kullanılarak toplanmıştır. SPSS 26,0 programı kullanılarak normal dağılım gösterdiği belirlenen veri setinin incelenmesiyle parametrik test teknikleri uygulanmıştır. Katılımcıların yaş ortalaması 2,78 0,83 35-44 yaş olup, 30,2si lise, 30,7si ön lisans mezunu, 31,7si paramedik ve 32,7si acil tıp teknisyeni olduğu belirlenmiştir. Katılımcıların 125i 61,0 afet denilince akıllarına deprem, sel, heyelan, çığ ve fırtına geldiğini; 14ü 68,8 afet ile ilgili eğitim aldıklarını; 44ü teorik, 56sı teorikuygulama eğitimi aldığını; 52si 25,4 tatbikatta görev aldığını, 135i 65,9 çalıştığı yerin afete karşı kısmen hazırlıklı olduğunu belirtmiştir. Bu çalışmada, afet ile ilgili eğitim alan ve tatbikatlara katılan personelin afetlere hazırlık evresi ve müdahale evresi boyutlarında yüksek puan aldıkları tespit edilmiştir. Ancak, afetlerle ilgili eğitimlerin ve tatbikatların özel tıp merkezlerinde çalışan personel için mevcut düzeyde yeterli olmayıp arttırılması gerektiği düşünülmektedir.
