    (Ankara University, 2020) İnal, Ebru; Kaya, Edip; Metin, Baki Can; Paksoy Erbaydar, Nüket
    This 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. All rights reserved.
