Brief Summary:
Pre-disaster mitigation and preparedness activities are essential to reduce vulnerability in a community and protect people when disasters occur Although disaster preparedness and protective behaviours have attracted the attention of scholars worldwide there is no significant study on the preparedness disaster literacy and disaster resilience of rural households The aim of this study is to examine the effect of virtual reality use on disaster literacy disaster preparedness and individual disaster resilience in adults living in rural areas
Detailed Description:
In recent years there has been a significant increase in the number of natural disasters and the loss of life and property caused by disasters in the world and in Turkey Turkey is a country where tectonic strata are commonly found Besides it has various natural disaster risks considering its geological features topography and meteorological conditions According to the statistics of the Disaster and Emergency Management Presidency AFAD for 2022 the natural disaster events that occurred in 2022 were as follows 18 avalanches 21054 earthquakes 859 landslides 137 rock falls 13 sinkholes 450 floodsfloods and 451 others totalling 22982 Considering the high physical and social vulnerability of Turkey these disasters cause a high number of deaths injuries and material losses The solution to minimise the negative impacts of disasters is to be prepared for future disasters For this reason there is a need for raising awareness of the society about disasters and disaster risk avoidance skills known as disaster literacy Disaster literacy is defined as the degree to which individuals read understand and use information to make informed decisions and follow instructions in the context of mitigation preparation response and recovery In the last decade virtual reality-based training in disaster preparedness has been increasingly recognised as an important and new alternative to the traditional methods of real-life drills and tabletop exercises Many studies have described various applications of virtual reality in disaster training In 2001 Freeman et al published the use of a virtual reality patient simulation system to teach emergency response skills to US Navy medical personnel In 2007 a virtual simulation-enhanced triage training for Iraqi medical personnel was described The following year immersive simulation for training first responders to mass casualty incidentsmass casualty triage skills using immersive three-dimensional virtual reality and critical care skills during mass casualty drills The equivalence of VR simulators with live actor-patient use in directing actions has been demonstrated and simulation for team training and assessment using virtual worlds In 2009 game-based mass casualty burn training was proposedIn 2011 Cone et al published a comparison of SALT and SMART triage systems using a virtual reality simulator with paramedic students Finally virtual simulation as a teaching method for nursing students has been shown to reinforce learning and improve retention of learning over time
