简要总结
This study aims to evaluate the effect of a Health Belief Model (HBM)-based disaster education program on general disaster preparedness beliefs and disaster preparedness levels among parents of children with special needs. Children with special healthcare and developmental needs are particularly vulnerable during disasters, and parental readiness plays a critical role in mitigating risks. The study is designed as a quasi-experimental (or randomized controlled) interventional trial with an intervention and a control group to determine whether structured, model-based training improves preparedness behaviors and disaster beliefs among parents.
详细描述
This study is conducted between September 2026 and October 2026 at the Ozel Mavi Special Education and Rehabilitation Center in Diyarbakir, Turkey. The center consists of two separate service buildings within the same campus, providing individualized and group special education services for children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, intellectual disability, specific learning disorders, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and speech/language impairments.
Parents are recruited during their children's active educational sessions. Participants are allocated into intervention and control groups. The intervention group receives a structured, 5-week Health Belief Model-based disaster preparedness training program, while the control group receives routine follow-up (or standard institutional guidance).
Outcome assessments include baseline (pre-test) measurements and post-intervention (post-test) evaluations conducted after the completion of the 5-week educational program. Primary outcomes measure participants' general disaster preparedness beliefs and objective disaster preparedness levels.

研究组 & 干预措施
Intervention Group
Parents receive a structured Health Belief Model (HBM)-based disaster education program along with routine follow-up.
干预措施: Health Belief Model -Based Disaster Education (Behavioral)
Control Group
Parents receive standard care/routine follow-up during the study period. To ensure ethical standards, the Health Belief Model-based disaster education program is delivered to this group after all post-test data collection is completed.
结局指标
主要结局
Change in General Disaster Preparedness Beliefs Scale Score
时间窗: Baseline (pre-test) and 5 weeks after the intervention (post-test)
Assessed using the General Disaster Preparedness Beliefs Scale based on the Health Belief Model. Evaluates perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived benefits, perceived barriers, and self-efficacy regarding disaster preparedness. Higher scores indicate higher preparedness beliefs.
次要结局
- Change in Disaster Preparedness Level Score(aseline (pre-test) and 5 weeks after the intervention (post-test))
