简要总结
Nurses Taking on Readiness Measures (N-TORM) is an innovative nurse-driven household emergency preparedness intervention modeled after an existing community intervention provided by emergency management personnel. The proposed pilot studies will test the Korean translation of the Household Emergency Preparedness Instrument (K-HEPI) and describe the implementation and effectiveness of N-TORM in a community setting. The aims of this instrument translation study and cluster randomized controlled trial are to (a) field and pilot test the K-HEPI in order to perform psychometric testing on the instrument and generate reliability and validity data, (b) increase the accessibility of N-TORM to vulnerable populations, (c) evaluate the effectiveness of N-TORM to increase household emergency preparedness knowledge and behavior, (d) implement N-TORM in a community located in an area at increased risk for disasters, measuring consistency of delivery, time, and cost of N-TORM, and (e) describe the factors most necessary to maintain and expand N-TORM.
详细描述
The proposed instrument translation study will pilot test a Korean version of the Household Emergency Preparedness Instrument to perform psychometric testing on the instrument, generating reliability and validity data for an examination of cross-cultural equivalence.
Following the instrument translation study, the investigators will use the K-HEPI in a cRCT to measure the level of household emergency preparedness of an at-risk population before and after receiving the N-TORM intervention to measure intervention effectiveness and health impacts of an extreme weather event. The investigators will compare the intervention group's K-HEPI scores to the control group's K-HEPI scores at baseline, one-month follow up, and after an extreme weather event.
Hypotheses (H):
H1: The level of household emergency preparedness, as measured by the K-HEPI, will increase after an educational intervention.
H2: The K-HEPI will account for a significant proportion of the variance in emergency preparedness among the sampled Korean households.

结局指标
主要结局
Korean Household Emergency Preparedness Instrument (K-HEPI) Score
时间窗: through study completion, an average of 1 year
The Korean Household Emergency Preparedness Instrument (K-HEPI) is an all-hazards, comprehensive, 51-question instrument used to ascertain if a respondent is prepared for disasters. Higher scores on the HEPI indicate higher levels of preparedness. Excluding the Access and Functional Needs (AFN) and Special Actions (SA) subscales that are not applicable to all respondents, the minimum score a participant could receive on the General Preparedness (GP) scale is 0 and the maximum score is 40 (1 point for each yes-response and 0 points for each no-response). There is support for face, content, and criterion validity of this instrument. The HEPI questions are objective and ask about what the respondent presently owns or does in a dichotomous format.
