Öğe Analysis of Gender Sensitivity of Turkey's Disaster Legislation to Create a Disaster-Resilient Society(Tohoku University Medical Press, 2021) Erbaydar, Nuket Paksoy; Önal, Ebru İnal; Kaya, EdipDisasters frequently occur in Turkey. Although there is comprehensive disaster legislation in Turkey, it has not been well studied in terms of gender sensitivity. This study aimed to evaluate the disaster legislation of Turkey in the context of gender equality. We investigated 17 non-technical disaster legislations to determine in what context and to what level disaster management is gender-sensitive in Turkey. We also carried out a workshop with experts from governmental bodies and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), and academics to discuss the gender sensitivity of the legislations. We found that only two of the 17 legislations included a gender perspective. One legislation addressed gender equality and equity very well, while one was partially gender-sensitive and the others 5 were gender blind. The workshop was conducted in collaboration with the Disaster and Emergency Management Presidency (AFAD) and 33 participants from 19 organizations. The participants agreed that the disaster legislation did not include a gender perspective and acknowledged the importance of integrating a gender perspective into the disaster policies of Turkey. They recommended that the AFAD and emergency response units should have at least one female president or vice president, gender equality training should be provided to officers and managers of government and non-governmental disaster institutions, and a working group should be established to develop strategies that integrate gender perspectives into disaster and emergency policies. The disaster legislation of Turkey is not gender sensitive. It is important to incorporate language terminologies, understanding, and approaches that are sensitive to gender into disaster-related legislation and regulations.Öğe Are Sociodemographic Characteristics and Experiences Associated to Behaviours on Residential Fires? A Young Adult Sample(Ankara University, 2020) İnal, Ebru; Kaya, Edip; Metin, Baki Can; Paksoy Erbaydar, NüketThis study aimed to determine the role of behaviors and factors associated to reduction of fire risks among university students. This cross-sectional study was conducted in a vocational higher education school (N=3886 students). Single stage systematic random sampling technique was used to select the participants from the population and data of the study was collected by face to face interviews. We interviewed 661 students. The mean age of the students was 20.1±2.3 years and 68.2% were male. It was found that 15.9% of participants had an experience in any type of fire, also 21.2% of the students had a training about fire. Although 85.8% stated that they were keeping children away from flammable materials, only 19.7% had a fire action plan to escape in their living places where they lived in. Students living in the dormitory (OR: 1.63), who had any education on fire (OR: 1.46), and who received first aid training (OR: 1.37) had more positive fire-related behavior. To reduce the risk of mortality, morbidity and economic burden of fires in countries and increase the level of readiness to fire where prevention and intervention services are limited, trainings on fire prevention, early intervention skills and basic first aid training for fires are needed among young people. Higher education period is appropriate for those trainings. © 2020, Ankara University.

Methods: This study is an epidemiological descriptive study. The population of the study consists of 281 people working for Command Control Center and Emergency Medical Services Station of Canakkale 112 Ambulance Service. About 176 people agreed to participate in the study were interviewed within the scope of the study. Necessary information was obtained by a survey. In the statistical analysis of the study, descriptive statistics, Mann Whitney, Kruskal Wallis and Chi square tests were used. Results: The participation rate of the study was 62.6% (176 people). The participants were in the range of 17-64 years of age. The average age of the participants was (31.6 +/- 9.1) years. About 54% of the participants (95 people) were under the age of 29 and 54% of them (95 people) were male, 23.3% of them (41 people) held a bachelor degree and 35.7% (63 people) of them were Emergency Medical Technicians, respectively. In the study, a statistical relationship was found between some questions of the survey and some variables such as age, gender, degree, membership status for non-governmental organizations, experience of emergency situations, being trained against disasters and desire to have such a training (P < 0.005). Conclusions: As a result of the study, a significant relationship was found between being trained related to disaster and emergency situations and development of positive attitudes about training for disasters and emergencies. This indicates that people, no matter what educational level they are in, have to be trained for disasters and emergencies.Öğe Exploring gender-inclusive approaches in Turkish disaster risk management: insights from decision-makers, service providers, and NGOs(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2024) Kaya, Edip; Onal, Ebru Inal; Erbaydar, Nueket PaksoyThis study aims to reveal the experiences and views regarding gender sensitivity of service providers, decision-makers, and non-governmental organization (NGO) workers who operate during disasters. The study uses a phenomenological model - a qualitative approach. Data are collected by two trained interviewers using a semi-structured interview form. In-depth interviews are conducted with 52 individuals from four provinces in different regions of T & uuml;rkiye. Then, the data are analysed using MAXQDA20, a qualitative analysis programme. The results show that a substantial proportion of the participants does not use gender-sensitive language or terminology. Women are defined by their domestic roles and motherhood, with reference to religious sources. Furthermore, in the context of the disaster risk management process, participants intensely report their views and experiences regarding the practical needs of women, such as hygiene, privacy, and access to information. However, the strategic needs of women, such as women's empowerment, gender-based data collection, and combating violence against women, are only mentioned by a few participants, especially NGO workers. Finally, most participants do not receive gender training. Those who receive it mention their experiences with vulnerable groups, violence against women, and other reproductive health issues.Öğe Health care students' willingness to work during disasters in Turkey(Elsevier Ltd, 2021) İnal, Ebru; Kaya, EdipIntroduction: Disasters place a substantial burden on the health care workforce; as such, it is important to understand whether members of the health care workforce might be willing to work during disasters. The aim of this study is to explore the willingness of health care students in nursing, emergency and disaster management (EDM) departments to work during disasters and to examine sociodemographic and disaster-related factors that affect their willingness to work during disasters. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 839 students enrolled in a Turkish University Faculty of Health Science (619 nursing students and 220 EDM students). Chi-square tests and binary logistic regressions were used to determine predictors of willingness to respond to disasters. Results: The majority of students (62.2%) were willing to work during disasters; however, approximately 31.2% of students were uncertain, and 6.7% were unwilling to work during disasters. Approximately 85.0% of EDM students and 54.0% of nursing students were willing to work during disasters. Overall, participants were more willing to work during earthquake (71.1%) and traffic accident disasters (66.2%) but were less willing to work during contagious disease (35.1%) and gas leak disasters (33.5%). Students' willingness to work during disasters was predicted by program type, educational level and membership in a disaster-related nongovernmental organization. Conclusion: The majority of students were willing to work during disasters, although these numbers varied according to program and disaster types. These findings have significant implications for disaster education programs and interventions.Öğe Prevalence and predictors of post-traumatic stress disorder among survivors of the 2023 earthquakes in Türkiye: The case of a temporary camp(Elsevier, 2024) Kaya, Edip; Onal, Ebru Inal; Fatih, Sultanay; Guler, OnurThis study aimed to evaluate the potential prevalence of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among survivors of the 2023 T & uuml;rkiye earthquakes and determine the factors linked to the severity of PTSD. The cross-sectional study was conducted in a temporary camp in Hatay between January 27 and February 2, 2024, approximately one year after the earthquakes. Two researchers visited the camp and offered participation to all the adults who met the study criteria. A total of 412 adults agreed to participate in the study and completed the questionnaire. A survey was used to gather information on various variables related to the context before, during, and after an earthquake. In addition, the Post-Traumatic Diagnostic Scale and the Brief Resilience Scale were used to measure PTSD and resilience, respectively. The screening scale indicated that 17.5 % of participants met the criteria for probable severe and 36.2 % met the criteria for probable moderate to severe PTSD, approximately 12 months post-earthquake. Multiple linear regression analyses revealed that PTSD was predicted by various factors in the within-, pre-, and postearthquake periods. Among pre-earthquake variables, sex (beta = 0.100, p < 0.05) and history of psychiatric illness (beta = 0.098, p < 0.01) predict PTSD. Among within-earthquake variables, severity of earthquake exposure (beta = 0.190, p < 0.001) predicted PTSD. Among post-earthquake variables, resilience (beta = -0.378, p < 0.001) was negatively associated with severity of PTSD. These findings underscore the significance of considering multiple factors when comprehending and addressing PTSD in the aftermath of a natural disaster.Öğe The impact of parental resilience, social support and socio-economic factors on PTSD symptoms in child and adolescent survivors of the 2023 Turkiye-Syria earthquakes(Taylor & Francis Inc, 2025) Kaya, Edip; İnal Önal, Ebru; Fatih, Sultanay; Güler, OnurThis study examines Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) prevalence and predictors, especially focusing on the role of parental resilience, among child survivors of the 2023 T & uuml;rkiye-Syria earthquakes. The study conducted with 199 children aged 9-17 and their parents. Findings showed that 54.8% of children exhibited PTSD symptoms. Hierarchical linear regression analyses revealed that parental resilience (beta = -0.16), and social support (beta = -0.16) mitigating PTSD symptoms, while female gender (beta = 0.18), younger age (beta = -0.16), low family income (beta = -0.14), and having more siblings (beta = 0.14) were risk factors for PTSD. This study contributes to understanding the role of family dynamics in post-disaster recovery for children. It underscores that public health practitioners and mental health professionals should take into account the significant impact of parental resilience in fostering effective recovery outcomes for children.
