Abstract

Purpose: The study examined disaster recognition, disaster preparedness, and the willingness to participate in disaster response among healthcare students. It also identified the factors that can improve healthcare students' willingness to participate in disaster response. Methods: A structured questionnaire was designed, and data were collected from 171 students, who agreed to participate in the study at C-province between December 14, 2022, and December 28, 2022. Results: The scores of disaster preparedness and the willingness to participate in disaster response were 3.22 and 3.53, respectively. The willingness to participate in disaster response was high among those who had experienced a disaster and had disaster-related education. Furthermore, the willingness to participate in disaster response was significantly and positively correlated with disaster preparedness (r = 1.357, p<.001). Conclusion: It is important to mandate the provision of disaster preparedness education to increase the level and quality of disaster preparedness and the willingness to participate in disaster response.
