Özet
The aim of the study is to determine the factors affecting the emergency/disaster awareness and perceptions of people who have previously experienced a disaster according to the Health Belief Model. This study was planned as descriptive and cross-sectional type. The data were obtained with questionnaires created by the researchers through a literature review and the definition of sub-factors based on the Health Belief Model. The population of the study consists of 25.000 people living in Kocaeli/Gölcük district. Stratified sampling method was used in sample selection in the study. In the determination of the sample, those living in the central neighbourhoods of Kocaeli Gölcük district, where the destruction was high in 1999, were included in the study. The questionnaire prepared in this context consists of 14 questions about the socio-demographic characteristics of the participants and 33 items of the Health Belief Model. In order to determine whether the answers given in the questionnaires differed, t test and one-way ANOVA test were applied. The correlation test was applied to see the relationship between the sub-dimensions. It was found that 62.9% of the participants were male, 70.8% were married, 28.1% were in the 26-33 age range, 34.2% were high school graduates, 61.8% were public employees, 58.5% had experienced disasters before, 53.1% had not experienced the 17 August 1999 Marmara Earthquake, 71% were not prepared for emergencies/disasters, It is seen that 87.9% of the participants had an individual emergency/disaster kit, 50.4% did not receive training on emergencies/disasters, 54.5% did not receive first aid training, 83.3% did not receive basic disaster awareness training, 97.1% did not receive community disaster volunteer training and finally 4.7% received other trainings. There is a statistically significant, positive, linear and moderate relationship between self-efficacy and mobilisers. There is a statistically significant, positive, linear and very weak relationship between self-efficacy and perceived barriers. In general, the employees who have experienced emergencies and disasters directly or indirectly or who have been worried and frightened because of what they have heard, who want not to face such a situation again and who are aware of the fact that it is an inevitable reality even if they want to do so, have made themselves ready for such situations in terms of disaster awareness, sensitivity, perceived barriers and benefits, perceptions of enablers and self-efficacy.
