Brief Summary: The study aims to contribute to the design of new approaches in enhancing disaster risk perception and the improvement of intervention strategies in this field by identifying the different levels of psychological preparedness among individuals

Type Location and Time of the Study

This study is a randomized controlled trial that will be conducted prospectively in a cross-sectional design It will take place at Kütahya Health Sciences University Simav Vocational School of Health Services during the Fall semester of the 2024-2025 academic year involving students enrolled in the Emergency and Disaster Management courses

Population and Sample The population of this study will consist of second-year students enrolled in the Fall semester of the 2024-2025 academic year at Kütahya University of Health Sciences Simav Vocational School of Health Services httpsoidbksbuedutrindexsayfa10106ocak-2024 The Emergency and Disaster Management course is offered as an elective for all second-year students across the departments of Simav Vocational School of Health Services The course is taught in two separate sections Sections A and B by Lecturer Dr Nahsan KAYA

The sample size of the study based on the power analysis conducted using the GPower software will consist of 72 students with 36 students in each group assuming 80 power a 005 margin of error and a 11 randomization ratio

Branch A and Branch B will be randomly assigned as the experimental and control groups via a draw conducted through the randomizerorg website At the beginning of the study a pre-test will be administered to both groups The lessons for the experimental group will be conducted using ChatGPT during the first two weeks while the control group will receive instruction through the traditional teaching method presentation-based instruction At the end of the two weeks a post-test will be administered to both groups To ensure that the students receive the same course under the same conditions and opportunities the teaching methods will be crossed between the groups during the following two weeks with the experimental group receiving traditional education and the control group being taught with ChatGPT At the end of the total four-week implementation a follow-up test will be administered to both groups
Detailed Description: H1 The psychological preparedness levels of university students in the experimental group for natural disasters will be higher in the assessment conducted in the second week compared to the baseline assessment

H1 The psychological preparedness levels of university students in the experimental group for natural disasters will be higher in the second-week assessment compared to the students in the control group

H1 The psychological preparedness levels of university students in the control group for natural disasters will be higher in the assessment conducted in the fourth week compared to the baseline and second-week assessments

H1 The disaster risk perceptions of university students in the experimental group will be higher in the assessment conducted in the second week compared to the baseline assessment

H1 The disaster risk perceptions of university students in the experimental group will be higher in the second-week assessment compared to the students in the control group

H1 The disaster risk perceptions of university students in the control group will be higher in the assessment conducted in the fourth week compared to the baseline and second-week assessments

Data Collection Tools
