Study Overview
Brief Summary
World Health Organization, more than 2.6 million people have been affected by natural disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis, earthquakes, hurricanes, heat waves, floods, or cold in the last decade. These injuries cause high mortality (e.g., blunt force trauma, strangulation) that may interfere with local treatment. Health Management World Health Organization: A comprehensive guide describing emergency medical care in disaster situations and treatment of injuries in case of disaster.
To reduce the effects of an earthquake, education on disaster preparedness activities is crucial. Activities related to disaster preparedness are carried out by a wide variety of groups and individuals, including emergency response agencies, public servants, corporations, individuals, and those who work for international non-governmental and humanitarian organizations. People, communities, and nations work to lessen their vulnerability and enhance their resilience to disasters through the preparedness and mitigation processes, which were replicated and elaborated earlier.
RESEARCH HYPOTHESIS: (We will test the hypothesis at a significance level of 0.05).
H1: The mean post-test knowledge score is significantly higher than the pre-test knowledge scores of schoolchildren after implementing the simulation-based disaster risk management strategies on disaster preparedness.
H2: The mean post-test practice score is significantly higher than the pretest practice scores of schoolchildren after implementing the simulation-based disaster risk management strategies on disaster preparedness.
H3: There is a significant correlation between post-test knowledge and practice scores on disaster risk management strategies of disaster preparedness. H4: There is a significant association between pre-test knowledge and practice scores on disaster risk management strategies of disaster preparedness of school children with their selected socio-demographic variables.
